TR to PR · Prior status and immigration pathways

Explore permanent resident admissions with prior study, IMP, TFWP or PGWP permit status, by intended destination and immigration category.

Counts of people admitted as permanent residents

Not applications, approval rates or an individual’s chance of immigration.

Prior statuses can overlap, so the four cohorts must not be added. Province means intended destination at PR admission, not prior study or work location.

IS: prior study permit; IMP: prior International Mobility Program work permit; TFWP: prior Temporary Foreign Worker Program work permit; PGWP: prior post-graduation work permit. Periods refer to permanent resident admissions. TR to PR is the statistical topic, not solely the named TR-to-PR pathway. Prior-status cohorts can overlap and provide no longitudinal denominator for a conversion rate. -- denotes suppression; other counts are rounded. 2026 covers January–July and is not comparable to a full year.
