Canada has traditionally been seen as a safe, welcoming place for immigrants. As we transition into 2025, we are wrestling with significant international challenges and uncertainties in the arena of conflict, displacement, and economic instability, which are contributing to unprecedented numbers of people looking to move abroad. At the same time, Canada is facing labour shortages in important sectors of the economy, including healthcare, construction, and technology.

With rising labour shortages in Canada, they realize that it is difficult to find skilled workers, and workers who are already in Canada on temporary work visas, are focused on potential permanent residency (PR). This is a major change in policy direction and it is throwing open doors for thousands of foreign workers wishing to build a permanent life in Canada. Why Temporary Residents Are a Priority in 2025 Temporary foreign workers are an important part of Canada’s economy. Many industries depend on international best talent, including the healthcare, construction, technology and agricultural sectors.
