Canada will not repeat TR2PR pathway draws in 2022   After the recent announcement of immigration levels, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), answered questions about the TR2PR pathway.   In April 2022, Canada announced a new pathway, enabling existing temporary residents and workers to convert to permanent residents.   The immigration minister stated that the current immigration levels plan did not include the TR2PR pathway repeating, which was designed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.   TR2PR was designed to help Canada reach its immigration goals and support its economic recovery.   #TR2PR, #Immigration_Levels, #Fraser, #IRCC, #Covid_19   https://www.instagram.com/p/CkiwWF7MSFC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Canada to launch a new TR2PR program   On September 20, 2022, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Sean Fraser presented a report to parliament on the government's plans to expand pathways to permanent residency for temporary foreign workers and international students.   This plan was formed in response to Motion 44, passed on May 11, 2022.   The IRCC minister tweeted this along with a photo of him and MP Randeep S. Sarai.   According to reports from Randeep Sarai's office, a technical problem is preventing them from providing information about the IRCC official's evaluation.   #IRCC, #Fraser, #TR2PR, #Randeep_Sarai, Motion_44 (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CixZjibuivR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nearly 50,000 immigrants obtained their permanent residency in Canada under the Temporary Residence to Permanent Residence (TR2PR) Pathway. The program was launched in mid-2021 to combat COVID-19 travel restrictions and allow temporary residents in Canada to acquire permanent residency. Because of the backlog of immigration applications, 51,392 applicants are waiting in the queue for their applications to be processed under the TR2PR Pathway. Many applicants apply for Open Work Permits as their temporary status in Canada expires, and their applications are not getting finalized.

On August 2, 2022, the Government of Canada published new guidelines for foreign nationals with expired or expiring post-graduation work permits (PGWP) and those applying to the temporary resident to permanent resident (TR2PR) pathways. Since the suspension of Express Entry invitations to apply for the Federal High-Skilled streams has had an impact on PGWP holders, the Government introduced the temporary public policy to allow eligible PGWP applicants to apply for an open work permit within a 6-month intake period. Those who have already applied for TR2PR pathways may also obtain an open work permit.
