The temporary public policy for Iranian nationals in Canada is set to expire on February 28, 2025. These measures have allowed Iranian temporary residents in Canada to extend their stay, switch visa categories, and apply for work or study permits without paying fees.
With the deadline approaching, there’s no word yet on whether the Canadian government will extend these policies again or let them expire. However, given Canada’s recent crackdowns on temporary residence, study permits, and permanent residence pathways, an extension would come as a surprise.
For those eligible, now might be the time to act—while the policy is still in effect. Whether another opportunity like this will come again remains uncertain.
