Good day,

| am writing to seek clarification regarding the eligibility criteria for the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots, with specific reference to the work experience and training requirements outlined on the official website. The details provided under the work experience and training sections appear to contain ambiguities, particularly concerning roles classified under NOC (Early Childhood Educators and Assistants). | respectfully request your assistance in resolving these uncertainties.

1. Work Experience Requirements https://ww.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/caregivers/home-care-worker- immigration-pilots/child-care-home-support/eliaibilitywork-experience-trainina htmi#twork-experience

The website states that applicants must have "at least 6 months of work experience, gained within or outside Canada" in occupations such as Early Childhood Educators and Assistants (NOC 42202). However, it further specifies that "experience as an early childhood educator, daycare teacher, or supervisor doesn't count," which raises questions about the eligibility of specific roles within this NOC code.

* * Question: Does this exclusion pertain to all work experience gained in a daycare setting, or is it limited to the roles of early childhood educator, daycare teacher, or supervisor? For instance, since Early Childhood Education Assistants (ECEA) share the same NOC code (42202), does this mean that experience as an ECEA is eligible, whereas experience as an Early Childhood Educator (ECE) is not?

2. Training Requirements httos:/hwaw.canada.calen/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/caregiversIhome-care-worker- immigration-pilots/child-care-home-support/eligibility/work-experience-training htmi#training

Similarly, the training requirement indicates that applicants must have "received a credential for a relevant training of at least 6 months, within or outside Canada," with Early Childhood Educators and Assistants (NOC 42202) listed as eligible. However, it also states, "This does not include early childhood educators, daycare teachers and supervisors," creating uncertainty about which training credentials qualify.

© * Question: Does this imply that a training credential from a program for Early Childhood Education Assistants (ECEA) of at least 6 months is acceptable, while a credential for an Early Childhood Educator (ECE) is not?

Your guidance in clarifying these points would be greatly appreciated to ensure accurate compliance with the program's eligibility criteria. Thank you for your time and assistance in addressing this inquiry. Sincerely,
