Canada TR to PR 2026: Essential Documents You Must Prepare Early
Expert Immigration Consultant Guide from MyWorld Immigration
Canada’s new Temporary to Permanent Residence (TR to PR) pathway is generating huge interest among temporary residents. History has shown that these programs fill up extremely fast—in 2021, the first TR to PR pathway reached its intake cap on the very day it opened. Many eligible applicants missed their chance simply because key documents were not ready.
To maximize your chances when the new TR to PR pathway launches, it’s critical to prepare your documents in advance. At MyWorld Immigration, our expert consultants have outlined a complete guide on the essential documents you need to organize now.
