Is TR to PR coming back?
Not as a new program, for now. In May 2026, IRCC announced the In-Canada Workers Initiative, which fast-tracks permanent residence (PR) applications that temporary workers have already submitted. It does not open a new intake like the 2021 TR to PR pathway.
- IRCC plans to grant PR to up to 33,000 workers in smaller communities in 2026 and 2027, with 20,000 targeted for 2026.
- You must already have an active PR application through one of these programs: the Provincial Nominee Program, the Atlantic Immigration Program, the community immigration pilots, the caregiver pilots or the Agri-Food Pilot.
- You must have lived in a smaller community for at least two years. The initiative excludes Census Metropolitan Areas, a classification that covers Canada's largest urban centres.
- There is no application portal, no new fee and no document race. You cannot apply to it directly. If you don't have a PR application yet, the only way in is to qualify for one of the eligible programs first.

What are the latest Express Entry updates in 2026?
In 2026, IRCC updated category-based selection with five new categories and stricter work experience rules. Here are the main changes:
- New categories: Physicians with Canadian work experience, researchers with Canadian work experience, senior managers with Canadian work experience, transport occupations (such as pilots and aircraft mechanics), and skilled military recruits.
- Renewed categories: French-language proficiency, healthcare and social services, STEM, trades, and education.
- Longer work experience required: The minimum work experience for renewed categories increased from 6 months to 12 months.
- Cooks removed: Cooks are no longer part of the trade occupations category.
- First physician draw: IRCC held the first draw for medical doctors with Canadian work experience in February 2026.
- Other draws continue: IRCC also continues to hold general and program-specific draws, such as Canadian Experience Class and Provincial Nominee Program draws.
