Some updates/changes to be aware of regarding the temporary resident to permanent resident pathway are:
- Applicants no longer need to remain in Canada during the processing of their applications.
- Those who apply for open work permits while waiting for their permanent resident application to be processed will qualify to obtain valid work permits until the end of 2024.
- Immediate family members outside Canada who were included in the original application will be able to qualify for an open work permit.
Stay tuned for more information once this takes effect in a couple of months.
