No education or experience is required
The country’s demand for care workers shows its focus on improving the quality of life of needy individuals.
According to the job details, care worker positions in the country are open to candidates aged 22 and above.
The report said no specific experience or educational requirements are needed, making the roles accessible to many candidates.
The report also stated that caregivers can expect an hourly wage of 18 Canadian dollars, which is N21,000 per hour, reflecting the essential nature of the work.
Job roles available
The report stated that responsibilities include providing personal care and emotional support, administering medications, assisting with mobility, and performing housekeeping tasks.
It also stated that while prior experience is essential, it is not mandatory.
Candidates with strong communication skills, empathy, and a commitment to improving the lives of others are highly required.
The report also stated that visa sponsorships are available for eligible applicants, allowing them to work in Canada.
Per the report, competitive salaries show the importance of the role, and many positions offer flexible working hours to accommodate different lifestyles.
Additional benefits and application links
Also, caregivers would be given access to training and professional development opportunities, letting them enhance their skills.
Furthermore, job portals and websites dedicated to caregiver positions feature listings that specify visa sponsorship availability.
Recruitment agencies specialising in caregiver placement can also help candidates find suitable employers to sponsor their visas.
The development comes as Canadian authorities extended the two-year ban on foreigners’ ownership of houses due to affordability challenges.
The ban, previously set to expire on January 1, 2025, has now been extended to January 1, 2027.
Before the extension, non-Canadians, including Nigerians, were not eligible to own houses in the country.
Also, the country, through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), has ended a temporary public policy that allowed visitors to apply for a work permit from within the country, effective immediately.
IRCC confirmed this in a statement shared on its website on Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
