Strategy to Expand Transitions to Permanent Residency
This strategy sets out a range of pathways focused on increasing opportunities to transition
from temporary to permanent residence, strengthening Canada’s ability to meet a wide range
of labour needs and address long-term labour shortages, and supporting community and
regional needs. IRCC goal is to strengthen the connection between the labour market and IRCC
immigration programs, to ensure the Canadian economy has the broad range of skills needed
across all different sectors from health, hospitality, transportation, trades, and resources, IT and
engineering. IRCC is focused on helping individuals transition from temporary to
permanent residence by expanding or adjusting the existing pathways for foreign nationals who
are working in Canada and seeking to stay, including international student graduates.
