Dear [requester],
| hope you are doing well
My name is [requester] | am an immigration consultant ([redacted licence])
| am reaching out for clarification regarding the work experience submission for permanent residence (PR) under the previous Home Care
‘Support Pilot, which ended on June 16, 2024, specifically for applicants under the Gaining Experience category.
41. 1. How many months of work experience are required to be eligible for PR? Would six months of experience be sufficient?
2. 2. Once applicants complete the required work experience(6 months), can they switch to a different job, or must they continue workingin
home care support until they receive their PR?
3. 3. What isthe process for submitting proof of work experience to IRCC for PR processing?
4.4.
Your guidance on these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
