Canada continues to make immigration more accessible for qualified applicants, offering opportunities to transition from temporary residency (TR) to permanent residency (PR). With the recent extension of the temporary public policy for open work permits (OWPs) under the TR to PR pathway, many aspiring immigrants have a renewed chance to secure a brighter future in Canada. If you’re looking to take advantage of these opportunities, Mansory Immigration Consultants is here to guide you every step of the way.
The TR to PR Pathway: An Overview
The TR to PR pathway, introduced as a limited-time program in 2021, aimed to provide PR opportunities to foreign workers in essential sectors, healthcare professionals, and recent graduates of Canadian institutions. Though the pathway itself closed, its impact continues, as applicants still in the process can now benefit from extended open work permits. This policy has been extended until December 31, 2026, offering applicants and their families additional flexibility and support during the PR application process.
For many, understanding the eligibility criteria and meeting all requirements can be daunting. Mansory Immigration Consultants specializes in simplifying this complex process, ensuring applicants are well-prepared and have the best chance of success.
What Does the Open Work Permits Policy Mean for You?
The open work permits (OWP) policy allows applicants to continue working in Canada while their PR application is under review. This extension also applies to the spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children of the principal applicants, enabling families to stay together and build a life in Canada.
Eligibility Criteria for Principal Applicants
To qualify for an OWP under this policy, principal applicants must:
- Hold temporary resident status or be eligible to restore it.
- Have a valid work permit with less than four months of validity remaining.
- Submit an OWP application through an IRCC secure account.
- Indicate which TR to PR public policy they initially applied under.
- Provide proof of valid language test results and authorized work at the time of their PR application.
- Have received an Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) from IRCC.
Applications rejected or withdrawn before the OWP submission will not be eligible.
Eligibility Criteria for Family Members
Family members of the principal applicant may also qualify for an OWP if they:
- Submit their application online and include the Unique Client Identifier (UCI) of the principal applicant.
- Are genuine family members (spouse, common-law partner, dependent child).
- Reside in Canada at the time of application.
- Have valid temporary resident status or eligibility to restore it.

Benefits of the Extended Open Work Permit Policy
The extension of this policy offers several advantages to TR to PR applicants and their families:
- Job Security: Applicants can continue working in Canada, maintaining financial stability while waiting for PR approval.
- Family Unity: Spouses, partners, and dependent children can stay together and even work in Canada.
- Flexibility: With the policy extended until 2026, applicants have ample time to gather necessary documentation and meet eligibility requirements.
- Reduced Costs: While applicants must pay the work permit processing fee, the usual open-work permit holder fee is waived.
With these benefits in mind, it’s crucial to submit a complete and accurate application. That’s where Mansory Immigration Consultants comes in, offering expert assistance to help you make the most of this opportunity.
Language Requirements for TR to PR Applicants
Language proficiency is a critical factor for TR to PR applicants. The required levels vary based on the applicant’s stream:
- Workers in Canada (Health Care/Essential Non-Health Care): CLB/NCLC Level 4.
- International Graduates: CLB/NCLC Level 5.
- French-Speaking Workers/Graduates: NCLC Levels 4 and 5, respectively.
Meeting these requirements can be challenging, but Mansory Immigration Consultants provides valuable resources and guidance to help you achieve the necessary language benchmarks.
