Immigration Minister speaks on "TR to PR" pathway for 33,000 workers
In a recent interview with the Toronto Sun, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Lena Metlege Diab said the much-anticipated program has been launched quietly, with more details to come next month.
The program was initially announced in November 2025 as part of Canada’s 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan, yet many questions still remain.
Please exercise caution when reading social media posts claiming this is the new “TR to PR”, as very little information has been shared by IRCC about the selection process. While waiting for information to be released, this is the time to gather your documents and ensure everything is in order and current. This is not the time to be idle!
Ensure you have up to date:
- records of employment history
- tax filings
- proof of language proficiency (must be less than 2 years old)
- education credential assessments (must be less than 5 years old)
- police records
Reach out today if you need assistance or require more detailed information on the required documents for a Permanent Resident application!

| | | Happy International Women's Day | | |
International Women's Day (March 8, 2026) is a celebration of the women's right movement, including gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women. During the month of March, we celebrate women's achievements and raise awareness about gender discrimination.
The beginning of International Women's Day can be traced back to the early twentieth century. It emerged from the activities of labour movements in North America and Europe and reflected a growing call for women’s equal participation in society. International Women's Day first took place on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. Other countries began to observe and celebrate this day in the years that followed.
Today, International Women's Day is a day of unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy, and action and is celebrated in many countries worldwide.
