One thing i know about this pilot is that it does not require any proof of fund. It is actually the only immigration work permit pilot with NO PROOF OF FUND.
However, you need the following things:

1) Canadian styled Resume with a Canadian Phone Number
2) LinkedIn account with a professional profile picture
3) Professionally crafted Cover Letter
4) IELTS Exam with at least 5 Band Score (#75k)
5) Qualification assessment with WES(Canada)(#65K)
6) Free Certificate exam in First Aid, CPR and AED(Optional but better). Check out www.firstaidforfree.com

If anybody is interested in Home Support Work Pilot, i can post some job links here for you to apply. Just indicate interest.

This is the timeliness for my prospective employee.
- Her application was received in Edmonton March 2020.
- She received her temporary application number by email April 2021.
- She received AOR and permanent application number August 2021 and she has been able to link her application to IRCC online account through GCKey.
One thing is sure, this pilot HCCP program processing is damn slow. 2019 and 2020 applicants are still awaiting approval so if you are just applying know that you have to be patient. As it stands it seems 2.5 years is the average processing time.

Even though they didn't specify the minimum earning for employer applying to hire a nanny, there is a guideline for this on CIC website. What the IRCC agent will use to determine your eligibility as an employer with respect to your earning is LICO - Low Income Cut Off. You will need to go through the LICO list and determine your household threshold based on thr total number of person living with you. Let me give you an example calculation:
- Your total declared household income based on your T4 - assume $60970
- LICO for 5 (i.e 5 people in your household) - $43,791
- Projected annual salary of caregiver based on the contract your are offering - assume $20,592
To determine if IRCC agent will approve your nanny sponsorship application based on your earning:
$60970 - $43791 - $20592 = - $3414

You application will be refused based on your earning - you have a shortfall.

To get accurate LICO thresholds based on year and population of your location, visit the link below:

As per your last question, yes as employer you must have business account with CRA. This is how you will be able to remit deductions from your nanny salary to CRA.

@Twinkleberyl @Ope4Christ @Pleasant19

Thanks all for you contributions. I think Twinkleberyl is right though as the Caregiver Pathway is essentially an immigration pathway with fees for PR paid upfront.

What concerns me though is proof of financial ability to maintain a family of 5 based on a caregiver minimum wage which is usually between 13 and 16 CAD per hour. Will the VO give approval if there is no proof of other funds apart from the wages associated with the Caregiver job one already has?
