Care work: aim at institutions, not households

Household caregiver employers are excluded from the public register (personal names are removed), and IRCC's Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots are closed — our caregiver guide documents both facts from the official sources. The care hiring that is visible and verifiable runs through institutions: nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates (NOC 33102) at care facilities, listed in the nursing and health support directory. Early childhood educators (NOC 42202) are another real category — 318 approvals in this window — and were added to the CMA-refusal exemptions on November 6, 2026.

Food service: the other deep bench

Cooks, food service supervisors and counter attendants together account for thousands of approvals per window, and Filipino kitchen workers are a long-established part of that workforce. The cook facet and the food service directory carry the employer lists.

Live vacancies

Approvals show who can hire; live postings show who is hiring now. Search Job Bank — Temporary Foreign Workers for current postings from employers who have obtained or applied for an LMIA, then cross-check the employer against this register.

Frequently asked questions

Can Filipinos still come to Canada as caregivers?

Not through the caregiver PR pilots — they are closed to new applications. Institutional care roles (nurse aides at facilities) and other LMIA sectors remain open through the normal employer process.

Why can't I find caregiver employers on the approved list?

ESDC excludes personal names from the published list, and households are the main caregiver employers. The absence is structural, not a sign the hiring never happens — but it means no public list can verify a household employer for you.

Which jobs do Filipino applicants most often get through LMIA?

Institutional health support, food service and cooking, and early childhood education show the deepest approval benches relevant to Filipino applicants in the current data.

An agency in Manila offers a caregiver job for a placement fee. Is that allowed?

Employers cannot charge workers recruitment fees or the LMIA fee under the program's rules, and the caregiver pilots are closed. Treat paid-placement caregiver offers as high risk and verify everything on canada.ca.
