The Canada TR to PR Pathway is set to open exciting new doors for temporary residents already living and working in Canada. As part of the 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan, the Canadian government has introduced a one-time initiative that allows eligible work permit holders to transition to permanent residency. This marks a significant opportunity for those contributing to Canada’s economy and communities. (Learn more)

What is the Canada TR to PR Pathway?

The Canada TR to PR Pathway is designed for temporary residents, particularly work-permit holders, who have been living and working in Canada. This program allows eligible candidates to transition to permanent residency without leaving the country. Under the upcoming 2026–2028 plan, up to 33,000 temporary workers will have the chance to apply for PR between 2026 and 2027. (Learn more)

Key Features of the 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan

  • Stable Permanent Residency Targets: Canada aims to admit 380,000 new permanent residents per year between 2026 and 2028.

  • Reduction in Temporary Residents: New temporary resident admissions, including international students and foreign workers, will decrease, emphasizing long-term immigration strategies.

  • TR to PR Pathway for Work Permit Holders: Up to 33,000 eligible temporary workers can apply for permanent residency over the two-year period. This measure focuses on individuals who have established roots, contribute to taxes, and support the Canadian economy.

No Specific Date Yet – Stay Tuned

It is important to note that the government has not yet announced an exact date in 2026 when applications for the TR → PR program will open. While the initiative will run in 2026 and 2027, IRCC has not provided a calendar month or day. Applicants should stay tuned to official updates to ensure they are ready to submit as soon as the program is launched. (Learn more)
