  Canada's immigration framework is experiencing a tremendous renewal in 2025, and one of the most prominent alterations within it is the increasing preference for applicants already living in Canada. Internationals, temporary foreign workers, or graduate students with post-study work permits situated in Canada will become a new focus for the IRCC over other applicants overseas. This is changing how individuals plan their path to Canadian permanent residency (PR), and it's generating a new approach for newcomers to adapt to. Reasons Why Canada Favors Applicants Already In Canada There are a number of reasons why Canada has an increasing preference for applicants who are already living, studying or working in Canada: Greater Speed of Integration When a person is already in Canada, they have already adjusted to the culture, working environment or lifestyle. This mitigates integration issues, and therefore speeds up their efforts to contribute economically. Demonstrated Experience...

  In 2025, Canada’s Express Entry program will see significant changes. Instead of solely looking at the highest candidates, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will use category-based draws more often than not. These draws will be geared towards people with particular skills and/or high French-language proficiency – a change that aims to address Canada’s labour needs and support Francophone communities. What Are Category-Based Draws? Category-based draws, as opposed to traditional Express Entry rounds that simply select people based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores, invite candidates who meet specified criteria. The invitation categories for 2025, according to the IRCC, are:  Strong French-language skills - to support the increase of Francophone immigration outside of Quebec.   Work experience in priority sectors, such as health care and social services (i.e., nurses, dentists), skilled trades (i.e., plumbers, carpenters), and education ...

In October 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) published the new multi-year Immigration Levels Plan 2025-2027, which indicates a clear shift in Canada's immigration plans. The plan proposes low admissions for permanent and temporary residents over the next three years. What are the main reductions? The overall target for permanent residency is 395,000 in 2025, and then it will decrease to 380,000 in 2026, and 365,000 in 2027.  This is the first time IRCC is producing targets for temporary residents (international students + foreign workers). The target for 2025 is about 673,650. Important note: for 2026 the targets will approximately be 516,600; 2027 will be about 543,600.  The focus is shifting to "in-Canada" immigration; more than 40% of permanent resident admissions for 2025 will be from people already in Canada (students/workers) and seeking to stay here.  The plan also emphasizes economic streams (skilled workers, trades, health care); approxim...
