Florence Academy certificates may not fulfill this primary educational requirement, as they are often considered supplementary training rather than a recognized post-secondary education. These courses can still be valuable in demonstrating your skills and dedication to caregiving, but they would likely be viewed as additional qualifications rather than a replacement for the required formal education. If your goal is to use these courses to meet specific requirements of the caregiver program (like proving your ability in first aid or CPR), they might help, but they cannot replace the need for a post-secondary credential that WES can evaluate.
Hi. I researched this and here’s what I found For a BSN and Diploma-Experienced RN 1. Educational Credential: If you have a BSN from outside Canada, you will need an ECA to demonstrate that your education meets the Canadian standard. 2. Work Experience: Your experience as an RN may qualify, provided it aligns with the NOC codes for eligible caregiver occupations. 3. Language Proficiency: You will still need to take an approved language test to demonstrate your language proficiency, even if you have professional experience and education. 4. Certifications: While additional caregiving-specific certifications might not be necessary for the immigration process, they might enhance your employability and ease the transition into caregiver roles in Canada. Conclusion A BSN and diploma-experienced RN may not need to pursue additional caregiving certifications specifically for the immigration process, provided they meet the educational equivalence and work experience requirements. However, ensuring compliance with all requirements, including language proficiency and possibly provincial licensing or certification for specific jobs, is essential. For precise and personalized guidance, consulting with an immigration advisor or checking the latest details on the official Government of Canada website
Hi Uche I have a certificate in caregiving,cpr and first aid and certificate in nursing studies and patient care through Alison, so my question is do I qualify. Other certificates I have are from Florence Academy the likes of Basic Life Support, Duty of Care etc though they have expired. Those that have expired do I have to include them on my CV or what,thank you regards
Hi. Include them on your CV because they are part of the trainings you’ve had in the past. Yes you qualify but there are other requirements as well. Do you know know them?
Hi. Personal Support Worker (PSW) programs might indeed be listed under different names depending on the platform or institution. Here are a few alternative names and terms you can look for: . Coursera • Search for “Caregiver Training,” “Healthcare Support,” or “Patient Care.” 2. edX • Look for “Healthcare Support Worker,” “Nursing Assistant,” or “Patient Care.” 3. Alison • Search for “Caregiver,” “Home Health Aide,” or “Patient Care.” 4. FutureLearn • Try searching for “Caregiver Training,” “Home Health,” or “Patient care By using these alternative names and search strategies, you should be able to find relevant online training programs that align with the Personal Support Worker role.
But also you need to start verifying your credentials with WES. You will find more information on this here 👉th-cam.com/users/liveu08hcA5IuBE?si=0v1gLby4NR2vJ8ZV
What if these courses are course outlines in the programme you are running? CLI college here in Lagos runs a care giver program and most the courses you mentioned are part of their module. Do someone still needs to study these courses again?
Hi, does a Nigeria registered nurse (diploma) still need to do these courses or she only need to evaluate her nursing certificate? Thank you for all you do.
I recently had a diploma in caregiving and certificate in CPR, AED and first aid from Alison. I didn't have the money to obtain my diploma and certificate so i downloaded the learner's verification. Is this enough proof that i am certified?
Hi. Thank you for watching. You can start with the basic caregiver certification courses 1. Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate Program 2. Home Support Worker (HSW) Certificate And anymore you can
Hello Uche, will they employment from aside Canada? Because they wants someone who is already in Canada. Or how and what are tips to get employment directly from aside Canada? Please regly I am interested
Yes, the Canada Caregiver Pilot Program does allow for the employment of caregivers from outside Canada. The program is designed to help families in Canada hire foreign caregivers for children, elderly persons, or individuals with high medical needs when qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are not available.
@UcheAgoh please sorry for inconveniecing you. Which of the province in Canada do you reside? Can you please give me your email address for personal discussion with you? I am Idoma but live in Jamaica. Thanks God bless you
Good morning uche i have done all this courses two years ago but i found it difficult to get my certificate, what should i do please counsel me, and can i still use it.
Hi. The duration of courses can vary widely depending on the specific course and your pace of study. Basic Caregiver Courses: • These can often be completed in a few hours to a few days, depending on the depth and complexity of the material. 2. Comprehensive Caregiving Programs: • More in-depth courses might take several weeks to a few months to complete, especially if they cover a broad range of topics or require practical assessments. The best care job? I would say the one you have passion for? Elderly care? Child care? Etc
Yes as long as you meet the eligibility requirements. These requirements can be found here th-cam.com/users/liveu08hcA5IuBE?si=nF9jfujOxIAo59V5 OR check IRCC website
Hie Uche how are you ,im new here,please i want to know something,i have ,the diploma in caregiver, food safety and hygiene in catering and assistant chef but my secondary level results are poor on passed English and i also i dont have a driver's license will i qualify in this caregivers program
Hi there. You need either a secondary school certificate or university degree or Diploma certificate because you would use any of these for your Credential Evaluation. For not having a Drivers License, that’s okay
@@Fidel67 Thank you so much for the clarification. When I started the training it was giving me free courses. I didn’t complete it as I wanted to be sure it will give free courses before adding to my video 👏👍
Omo, and all these courses UC listed aren't free OOO. The CPR AED and first aid I did on Allison I paid $11 for the digital certificate OOO. The Florence academy 15 care courses I did 2022 have all expired, then it was free but now I heard the certificates require money.
Hi, at least the basic ones like First Aid and CPR. I have also searched online and here’s the response I found: ⬇️ Internationally trained nurses (ITNs) typically have a strong background in healthcare and caregiving, which can make them well-suited for the Canada Caregiver Pilot Programme. However, there are some key considerations and additional steps they may need to take: 1. **Credential Assessment and Recognition:** - ITNs should have their credentials assessed by recognized agencies such as World Education Services (WES) or International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES). - Ensure their nursing qualifications are recognized and meet the Canadian standards for caregiving roles. 2. **Relevant Courses:** - Even with a nursing background, ITNs may need to take specific courses to align their skills with Canadian standards for caregiving, particularly in home settings. - Courses in Canadian-specific healthcare practices, child development, elderly care, and home support might still be beneficial. 3. **Licensing and Certification:** - Depending on the province or territory, ITNs might need to get additional certifications or licenses, especially if they intend to work in roles that require specific healthcare skills. - For caregiving roles, this may include courses or certification in Home Support Worker, Early Childhood Education, or Personal Support Worker. 4. **Language Proficiency:** - Proficiency in English or French is crucial. ITNs might need to take language courses or exams like IELTS or TEF to meet the language requirements. 5. **Additional Training:** - First Aid and CPR certification, if not already obtained. - Courses in communication skills, cultural competence, and Canadian healthcare standards can be valuable. 6. **Work Experience:** - Documented work experience in nursing or caregiving roles will be important. - Gaining Canadian work experience, if possible, can further strengthen their application. While internationally trained nurses have a solid foundation, they should ensure their qualifications are aligned with the specific requirements of the Canada Caregiver Pilot Programme. Taking additional courses in child care, home support, and relevant certifications can enhance their application and better prepare them for caregiving roles in Canada.
Hi, The American Caregiver Association (ACA) is a recognized organization in the U.S., known for providing caregiver certification courses. However, whether its certifications can be used for the Canada Caregiver Pilot Program depends on several factors: 1. Recognition in Canada: While the ACA is recognized in the U.S., its courses need to be evaluated for Canadian equivalency. This involves an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) by an authorized organization like World Education Services (WES), International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS), or others designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). 2. ECA Process: An ECA will determine if the ACA certification meets the Canadian educational standards required by the Caregiver Pilot Program. If the certification is found to be equivalent to at least a one-year post-secondary credential in Canada, it can be accepted. 3. Additional Requirements: Besides having the ECA for the ACA certification, you will need: • A valid job offer from a Canadian employer in a caregiver position. • Relevant work experience in caregiving. • Proof of language proficiency in English or French. • Meeting other criteria set by the IRCC for the Caregiver Pilot Program.
You can add it if there’s option after adding your Educational qualifications For ECA, submit Required Documents: • Provide official transcripts and diplomas from your educational institutions. • Some organizations may require that documents be sent directly from the educational institution. Get Your Credentials Assessed: • The chosen ECA organization will evaluate your education and issue a report indicating the equivalency to Canadian standards.

Thanks for this update, is Florence academy certificate relevant for this caregiver job?

Please ma'am, does a BSN and diploma experienced RN still has to do all these certifications to become eligible to apply.
Hi. I researched this and here’s what I found
For a BSN and Diploma-Experienced RN
1. Educational Credential: If you have a BSN from outside Canada, you will need an ECA to demonstrate that your education meets the Canadian standard.
2. Work Experience: Your experience as an RN may qualify, provided it aligns with the NOC codes for eligible caregiver occupations.

Hi.
The duration of courses can vary widely depending on the specific course and your pace of study.
Basic Caregiver Courses:
• These can often be completed in a few hours to a few days, depending on the depth and complexity of the material.
2. Comprehensive Caregiving Programs:
• More in-depth courses might take several weeks to a few months to complete, especially if they cover a broad range of topics or require practical assessments.
