The federal government has given provinces and territories until March 31, 2027, to issue tens of thousands of additional permanent residence nominations.
Key Highlights:
- Up to 100,000 additional economic PR spaces are available under the 2027 Temporary Resident-to-PR Transition Measures.
- The initiative targets eligible foreign workers already living in Canada, outside Quebec, and their accompanying family members.
- Additional nominations can be issued through both Base PNP and Express Entry-aligned PNP streams.
- Certain applicants with existing PR applications, including those under the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), Start-Up Visa Program, and other eligible programs, may also benefit.
- Applicants do not need to take additional steps to be considered under these allocations.
Important: Provinces will decide how to distribute and use their additional spaces. Further details on provincial allocations are still pending.
This initiative creates additional opportunities for eligible temporary foreign workers to transition to permanent residence.
