Temporary resident to permanent resident pathway

Become a permanent resident

As an international graduate from a Canadian institution, or a temporary foreign worker in a hospital, in a long-term care home, or on the frontlines, you are driving the Canadian economy of tomorrow and helping with our economic recovery.

In recognition of your contribution, Canada is creating a new pathway to permanent residence for over 90,000 essential workers and international graduates from a Canadian institution.

Streams

  • Health care workers
  • Essential non-health care workers
  • International student graduates

Supporting Francophone communities

To promote Canada’s official languages, 3 additional streams with no application limits have been created for French-speaking or bilingual candidates.

  • French-speaking health care workers
  • French-speaking essential non-health care workers
  • French-speaking international student graduates

Communities across Canada benefit from French-speaking and bilingual newcomers. This pathway will contribute to the vitality of these Francophone minority communities.
