Important NoticeIRCC has announced a pause on application intake for the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots. Read the official notice.
CDWCR was established in August 1992 by 10 women who immigrated to Canada under the Foreign Domestic Movement Program and the Live-in Caregiver Program, and by two community activists. We remain a 100% volunteer-run organization — proud of over 30 years working and coming across with over 500 care workers in BC.
