A new pathway to permanent residency is set to launch in April 2026, allowing 33,000 foreign workers currently in Canada to apply for permanent residency.
What we know so far..
The program was originally announced in the federal budget in November, 2025. It was confirmed in the Federal Government’s Annual Immigration Levels Plan which was launched later in November 2025.
The program will be run over a two-year period, and will target in-demand sectors and also give priority to those living and working in rural areas.
What to prepare in advance…
Proof of language proficiency – We recommend at this time that potential applicants prepare their language tests
Proof of education – We recommend getting your education credential assessments (even if you only have high school).
Proof of background check – You can prepare police certificates which can be used in any application for the purposes of clearing security, providing that you do not travel back to your home country and stay in Canada.
Proof of travel history – Keep a travel log for the last ten years, and ensure that all trips are noted, as well as stamps in your passport
Proof of employment – For any PR application, it is required that reference letters be provided as well as additional evidence such as a T4 and employment contracts
Proof of identity – Required documents are your passport, marriage certificate, common-law statutory declaration, PR photos, birth certificates, adoption certificates
Translation – Don’t forget to ensure that all translations are provided for documentation that is not in English or French
