With 33,000 spots allocated for 2026, this pathway is expected to fill quickly based on high demand from eligible temporary residents across the country.

Temporary residents currently in Canada with valid status are eligible. This includes post-graduation work permit (PGWP) holders, work permit holders, and those on implied status. You must have Canadian work experience and meet the minimum language requirements of CLB 4 or higher. You must also be physically residing in Canada at the time of application.
There are 33,000 spots available for the TR to PR 2026 program. This is a capped program and is expected to fill quickly based on the high demand from temporary residents across Canada. Early application is strongly recommended to secure one of the limited spots before the cap is reached.
Processing times are similar at 6 to 12 months, but the eligibility requirements are significantly lower than Express Entry. There is no minimum CRS score needed, and CLB 4 is sufficient for most streams compared to CLB 7 or higher typically needed for competitive Express Entry draws. This makes the TR to PR pathway accessible to many applicants who would not qualify through Express Entry.
If your work permit is approaching expiry while your PR application is being processed, you can apply for maintained status (also called implied status) or a bridging open work permit. This allows you to stay and continue working legally in Canada while IRCC processes your permanent residency application. We assist with these extensions as part of our service package.
