Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you are encouraged to submit the [RCC Web forrn. Please see our response to your question. Re the future job offer letter and employer form that is required to be submitted with a PR application. 1L.)Does IRC require that the 6 months of work experience be in the same NOC code as the job offer letter and employer info form? For the Home Care Worker Immigration pilots, the applicants work experience OR training a must be in the NOCs relevant (see below) the pilot they apply for and the job offer must also be in the in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) of the pilot they apply for. An applicant applying to the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilot: Child Care needs to provide a job offer under the home child care NOC (44100), not the home support NOC (44101). Similarly, the applicant must have 6 months of work experience or training in the specified child care-related NOCs (44100 and/or 42202, with exceptions). An applicant applying to the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilot: Home Support needs to provide a job offer under the home support NOC (44102), not the child care NOC (44100). Similarly, the applicants must have 6 months of work experience or training in the specified home support-related NOCs (44101 and/or 33102). 2.) If my client only has 5 months of work experience at the time of PR application filing, will she be able to apply for PR under NOC 44101? Work Experience: Six months of eligible full-time work experience is required at the time the client submits the application. This experience must be continuous, relevant, and completed within the past 3 years. As indicated on our website: “Any experience they gain after applying doesn’t count. They must complete all the work experience before applying, or their application will be refused.”

Training: Applicants can qualify if they have completed a relevant training credential for a program of at least 6 months within the past 2 years, as indicated on our website. This credential must align with eligible National Occupational Classifications (NOCs) for the Child Care or Home Support pilots. Short-term courses that did not lead to the acquisition of a post-secondary credential or a training program completed after applying would not qualify as eligible training. 3,)Since my client will have had more than 6 months of in Canada work experience in NOC 44100, can she apply for PR under NOC 44100? Is this still true if the job offer and employer form will be in NOC 44101 (as per your answer above) ? Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements in order to apply for the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots.

s.19(1) FFD erccepcress Semone conse As stated above, the applicants work experience OR training must be in the relevant NOCs (see above) as the pilot they are apply for and the job offer must also be in the in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) of the pilot they apply for. Therefore, an applicant cannot use a job offer for Home Support (NOC 44101) to apply for the Home Care Worker immigration Pilot: Child Care (NOC 44100) If an applicant resides in Quebecat time of application, they must submit documentation that demonstrates they plan to reside and work in Canada, outside of [requester] job offer should be for employment outside of Quebec to support an officer's assessment of whether the applicants plans to reside and work in Canada, in a province or territory other than [requester] job offer must be included in the initial application, or the application may be considered incomplete and returned.

[requester] you for the below reply. Your answer to me below did not address my actual questions. Your answer simply pointed me to what is on the website. Please see my full email below seeking clarification and understanding of the pilots requirements An email sent to Ms Elizabeth Kennedy of IRCC and to Ms Suzie Racine of IRCC Further understanding as to IRCC methodology would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you again. From: Sent: [requester] Subject: seeking clarification from IRCC website re homecare pilots for 2025 Importance: High Hello My name is [requester] of CICC. | was given your name froma colleague and [redacted licence]

member of the Quebec law society. —_ : He informed me that you are the right person to speak with regarding the homecare pilot programs in 2025.

| have left several messages on your voicemail. | am not trying to be a bug, and | am not sure if you are in the office this week or away on leave, but seek some clarification before the launch of the program on March 31. 2025.

In particular the requirement for a job offer letter in Canada, outside Quebec.

| have 2 concerns:

1, 1. Certain applicants who are about to file for the PR are already working in Canada (outside QC) with a specific work permits issued by IRCC in NOC 44100 or NOC 44101. Why would they need to provide a job offer letter?

2. 2.For applicants in QC, in the past 5 years, they have applied without a job offer letter and only when they receive a follow up letter from IRCC, at the time a case officer started to assess the file, will they present their intention to leave QC, very often after they receive an open work permit, thus providing them with the working doc/tool that they require to work —in any industry, not necessarily in the caregiver field. We do not believe that it is IRC intention or policy to restrict individuals with an open WP or PR to have to work ina specific industry.

We feel that, by now asking for a job offer letter, it is 1. Redundant in case (1) above, and 2. restrictive in case (2) above.

Weare seeking clarification.

We feel, in our gut, that IRCC was unclear on the website. We also feel that due to IRCC reducing in Canada work experience as a requirement, that the new doc checklist (imm0270) and that the job offer requirement, is necessary for out of Canada applicants only which said program is currently frozen and not open until further notice. The job offer requirement may also be required for an applicant who currently does not have 6 months of continuous work in this industry. Either way, we feel it should not be required for applicants who hold a work permit as a homecare provider. Can you please confirm |RCC intentions and clarify this point.

3. 3.1f IRCC is now absolutely requiring a job offer letter, We are also unclear about whether an applicant currently under NOC 44100 can provide a job offer letter under NOC 44101, and vice versa.

We respectfully request an immediate answer to the above emails so that we can guide our clients

accordingly.

| am sure you can truly appreciate the urgency in this matter.

| would also greatly appreciate a written reply and am gladly open to a verbal conversation with you. 00278
