By supporting every stage of the process, WorldGate Immigration ensures caregivers can focus on providing high-quality care while legally establishing themselves in Canada.
Open Work Permit Applications for Caregivers : Many caregivers qualify for Open Work Permits, which allow employment without being restricted to a single employer.

Our team provides guidance on labor laws, workplace rights, wages, and reporting obligations. We also assist in maintaining compliance throughout the caregiver’s employment period. By supporting both employers and caregivers, we ensure a smooth, legal, and compliant work arrangement that benefits all parties involved.
Caregiver Program Appeals and Restoration : If your caregiver application is refused or your immigration status requires restoration, we provide expert assistance to address the issue. Our team reviews refusal reasons carefully, identifies errors or missing documentation, and prepares appeals or reconsideration requests.
