Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident (TR to PR)

TR to PR is a temporary public policy pathway that permits some temporary residents who are currently working in Canada, as well as their families, to apply for permanent residence for a limited period of time.

The temporary resident to permanent resident pathway is a limited-time option for obtaining permanent residency. It is for select temporary residents and their families who are currently working in Canada.
