The TR to PR (Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident) pathways refer to various immigration programs and initiatives that allow individuals who are already in Canada on a temporary basis to transition to permanent residency status. These pathways provide opportunities for temporary residents, such as international students, temporary foreign workers, and visitors, to establish roots in Canada and become permanent residents. Some common TR to PR pathways include:

Express Entry: Certain categories of temporary residents, such as skilled workers with Canadian work experience, international graduates of Canadian educational institutions, and certain types of temporary foreign workers, may be eligible to apply for permanent residency through the Express Entry system.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Many provinces and territories in Canada operate PNPs that allow them to nominate candidates for permanent residency based on their specific labor market and economic needs. Some PNPs include streams or categories that target temporary residents who are already working or studying in the province.

Canadian Experience Class (CEC): The Canadian Experience Class is an immigration program specifically designed for temporary residents who have gained skilled work experience in Canada. To be eligible, candidates must have at least one year of full-time skilled work experience in Canada within the last three years and meet language proficiency requirements. Successful applicants under the CEC can apply for permanent residency through the Express Entry system.

Quebec Experience Program (PEQ): Quebec, as a province with its own immigration system, offers the PEQ for temporary residents who have studied or worked in Quebec and wish to settle permanently in the province. The program has separate streams for graduates and workers and typically requires candidates to demonstrate intermediate proficiency in French.

These are just a few examples of the pathways available for temporary residents to transition to permanent residency in Canada. Each pathway has its own eligibility criteria and requirements, and individuals should carefully review their options a
