In a significant development for international job seekers, the Canadian government has announced new caregiver visa sponsorship opportunities specifically aimed at candidates from Nigeria and other countries. According to a report by Legit.ng, these openings allow caregivers to apply for positions that offer an hourly wage of 18 Canadian dollars. Notably, applicants aged 22 and above are not required to have prior education or experience, making this an accessible opportunity for many [89925e4e].
The responsibilities for these caregiver roles include providing personal care, emotional support, administering medications, and performing housekeeping tasks. Eligible applicants can benefit from visa sponsorship, which will facilitate their transition to working in Canada [89925e4e].
Applications for the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot programs will officially open on January 1, 2024, at 9 a.m. EST. Interested candidates are encouraged to utilize job portals and recruitment agencies to connect with suitable employers [89925e4e].
In addition to caregiver roles, six Canadian companies are now hiring foreign workers eligible for LMIA-exempt work permits, primarily in the tech sector. This update comes from a recent announcement by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), which introduced a new work permit under the Innovation Stream earlier in October 2024 [2d96b1ac].
The companies hiring under this exemption include Ada Support Inc., AlayaCare, CellCarta, Clarius Mobile Health, Clio, and Lightspeed Commerce. This initiative aims to attract talent to boost economic growth, reflecting a broader trend in the labor market that seeks to address the needs of an aging population and the growing tech industry [2d96b1ac].
As the caregiving sector continues to evolve and the tech industry expands, these new opportunities present a promising avenue for individuals seeking employment abroad, particularly for those in Nigeria looking to build a career in Canada [89925e4e][2d96b1ac].
