Heron Law Offices’ Urgent Call for Special Immigration Measures after the Lapu Lapu Day Tragedy

In 2025, IRCC’s Home Care Worker pilot programs crashed at launch, locking out many caregivers. Immigration lawyer Will Tao, who previously litigated the 2019 PGP program crash, highlights how these recurring system failures raise serious concerns about fairness and access—and shares next steps for legal and advocacy responses.

IRCC has announced the program eligibility requirements for the new Home Care Worker Immigration pilots, Workers in Canada stream which is set to open March 31, 2025 at 10 am ET. At this time, the Applicants Not Working in Canada stream is closed.

Beginning March 25, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will introduce a new photo identification document for refugee claimants called a Refugee Protection Identity Document (RPID).
