In-Canada Applicants Favoured
33,000 skilled TFW holders transitioning to PR in 2026-27. Those already living and working in Canada have a significant advantage.
French Proficiency Pathway
French-language proficiency target rises from 9% (2026) to 10.5% (2028) of all PR admissions, with frequent dedicated draws.
