Foreign workers in Canada planning to apply for permanent residence through the new Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident (TR to PR) pathway can start preparing documents now.

The pathway is still not accepting applications.

According to Canada’s immigration minister, more details are expected in April 2026.

For now, immigration experts suggest preparing the following documents in advance:

Key Documents to Prepare

2. Criminal background checks
- Police certificates

5. Employment history

- T4s (for Canadian work)
-Employment contracts

6. Proof of current employment in Canada

Important Tips

1. Language tests: Results are valid for 2 years and must still be valid when you apply.

2. Police certificates: Usually required for every country where you lived 6 months or more since age 18.

3. ECA validity: Educational Credential Assessments are valid for 5 years.

4. Employment documents: Job duties should accurately reflect your role and align with the National Occupation Classification (NOC).

5. Passport: Make sure it remains valid during your stay and when applying for PR.

6. Translations: Any document not in English or French must be translated.

Other Important Requirements
- Declare your spouse or common-law partner, even if they are not immigrating with you.
- Provide proof of a common-law relationship if applicable (shared address or finances).
- If using an immigration representative, you must submit a Use of
Representative form and disclose them. Failure to do so can lead to refusal or a 5-year immigration ban.

Final Reminder:

Make sure your application is complete and accurate. Missing documents, incomplete forms, or gaps in timelines may result in your application being returned as incomplete, with no guarantee you’ll be able to reapply.

I’m super excited to go Live this Saturday! I really miss chatting and brainstorming with my daughter. Come hang out with us—we’ve got lots to talk about, especially with all the changes happening in immigration right now.

Ever since I came to Canada, immigration has basically been my whole world. Helping thousands of temporary foreign workers and caregivers opened the door for me to join different Immigration Ministers for roundtable talks, all the way up to Marc Miller.

And I have to say, my all-time favourite immigration critic is Michelle Rempel. I just love how she handles things, and I still enjoy watching her in Parliament!

I’m really happy to be getting back to what I love doing most. So please join us this Saturday at 7:00 PM!

We are LIVE this Saturday at 7PM Toronto Time (EST)!

Join our Marketing Director Ms. Judith Gonzales and Senior Immigration Consultant April Gonzales as they break down the latest immigration changes in Canada — what’s included, what’s excluded, and what it could mean for you.

Your questions are welcome during the live session!

For the information of international students!

Foreign work experience can significantly boost your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence through Express Entry.

It is especially valuable under the Skills Transferability section of the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), where it can contribute up to 50 additional points—often the difference between being invited or not.

What counts as foreign work experience:

- Work is considered foreign when it is gained outside Canada, regardless of whether your employer is Canadian or international.

Work done inside Canada only counts as Canadian experience if it is for a Canadian employer and part of the Canadian labour market.

Canadian vs. foreign work experience – key differences
1. CRS impact
- Canadian work experience can add up to 180 CRS points in total.
- Foreign experience can add up to 50 CRS points under Skill Transferability.

2. Work done as a full-time student
- Canadian student work does not count.
- Foreign work experience can count, if it meets all eligibility criteria.

3. Self-employment
- Typically does not count for Canadian experience.
- Self-employed foreign work experience can count.

4. Program eligibility
- Canadian experience helps qualify for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
- Foreign experience does not qualify you for CEC directly but increases CRS scores.
Requirements for both types of experience

To be eligible, work must:
- Be paid and full-time (or equivalent part-time)
- Be skilled (NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3)
- Have been completed within the last 10 years

Why foreign work experience is important
- Without foreign work experience, candidates are limited in the number of transferability points they can earn.

Combined with strong language scores and/or Canadian experience, 3+ years of foreign work experience can unlock the full 50 CRS points.

It is also possible to have both Canadian and foreign work experience at the same time, such as working remotely for a foreign employer while working locally in Canada—if each role independently meets the Express Entry criteria.

Benefit of Canadian work experience
- Canadian experience not only boosts CRS but can make you eligible for the CEC, which often leads to faster draws and removes settlement fund requirements.
