Canada Proposes New Permanent Residency Pathway for TEER Category 4 and 5 Workers

The Canadian government is set to propose significant amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. These changes aim to introduce a new permanent economic class for workers with experience in Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) 4 and 5 occupations. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the economic immigration system, ensuring a more inclusive selection of permanent residents with diverse skills and experiences.

Targeting Fall 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) plans to pre-publish these amendments in the Canada Gazette, Part I. Following this, a full publication will appear in the Canada Gazette, Part II. This medium-term regulatory initiative underscores the government's commitment to adapting its immigration policies to the evolving economic landscape.


Potential Impacts on Canadians, Including Businesses

The proposed regulatory changes will specifically benefit foreign nationals with Canadian work experience in TEER 4 and 5 occupations. By facilitating these workers' transition to permanent residence, the amendment is expected to enhance their ability to continue contributing to the Canadian economy. Additionally, it will support Canadian businesses facing labor market needs in these occupations, ensuring a steady supply of skilled workers.



Timeline and Consultation

The government is targeting Fall 2024 to pre-publish the proposed amendments in the Canada Gazette, Part I, which will initiate a public consultation period. This will provide an opportunity for stakeholders, including businesses, immigrants, and the general public, to provide feedback on the proposed changes.
