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.
