Explained: How Canada’s new immigration plan helps students and skilled workers living in the country gain PR
Canada’s 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan prioritises permanent residence (PR) for temporary residents already living in the country. The plan focuses on skilled workers, students, and Protected Persons, providing pathways through Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). IRCC will fast-track up to 33,000 skilled foreign workers in in-demand sectors and grant PR to 115,000 Protected Persons. With 64% of 2026 PR spots allocated to economic immigration, the plan strengthens local labour markets while supporting education and workforce integration.
