More than 30,000 temporary foreign workers who live in small, remote and rural communities will be able to apply for a fast track to permanent residency, under an initiative announced Monday by Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will accelerate permanent residency, or PR, for up to 33,000 temporary foreign workers in “in-demand sectors” such as agriculture and natural resources, trades and transportation, and health and caregiving.
