Key Steps to Prepare for the New Caregiver Program

Even though we’re waiting for the complete program guidelines, there are two crucial steps you can take to get a head start:

1. English Language Test

A minimum Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 4 is required to apply for the Caregiver Program. Accepted tests include:

• CELPIP: CELPIP-General

• IELTS: IELTS General Training

• PTE: PTE Core

Make sure your English test results are valid when the program opens. If you haven’t taken a test yet, now is the perfect time to schedule one!

2. Education Assessment

You must have at least the equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma to qualify for the new program. This requires an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), which verifies the equivalency of your foreign education in Canada.
