Canada is planning to come up with a new pathway to Canada Permanent Residence for international students and temporary workers. The House of Commons has mandated the Immigration Minister to come up with new pathways within 120 days. This means there is a very high probability of Canada introducing a ‘TR to PR’ program on or before this date. Also, Canada is resuming all-program Express Entry draws from July 6, 2022. This means Canada may be trying to meet its immigration targets for 2022 and 2023 by a combination of FSWP candidates outside Canada and temporary workers and international students already in the country.
Eligibility for Canada’s TR to PR immigration streams for essential workers Essential workers,
who have been critical to Canada’s ongoing management of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be eligible to apply through two different streams:
- one for temporary workers in 40 health care occupations — which has a quota of 20,000, and one for temporary workers in 95 other essential services occupations
— which has a quota of 30,000. You can view the spaces remaining in each stream here.
- French speakers have their own additional streams — the criteria are identical, except for the French-language requirement, and French speakers are exempt from the
Canadian work experience
To apply through the essential workers’ immigration streams, candidates must have at least one year of full-time work experience, or an equivalent amount of part-time experience (1,560 hours), gained within Canada in the three years prior to submitting an application. For the healthcare workers stream, the Canadian work experience must be in one or more of the eligible healthcare occupations. For the non-healthcare worker’s streams, the Canadian work experience must be in one or more of the eligible non-healthcare occupations (experience in the healthcare occupations can also be combined to apply through this stream).
Current employment in Canada
Candidates must be currently employed in Canada at the time they apply. Notably, this current employment can be in any occupation — it does not have to be in an occupation on one of the eligible occupation lists. As well, the government guidelines do not specify that the current employment needs to be full-time, suggesting that part-time employment will be sufficient.
Language Proficiency
Candidates must submit results from an approved language test in either English or French showing results consistent with the Canadian Language Benchmark of Level 4 (CLB 4). Remember, French speakers, are exempt from the program quotas.
