Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced plans to increase “domestic draws” for temporary residents already in Canada who are candidates for permanent residence (PR). What does this mean for newcomers? Let’s break it down:
What Are Domestic Draws?
Domestic draws refer to PR selection rounds for candidates already in Canada.
These draws target individuals with work or study permits who reside in the country.
Why the Shift?
The move aims to ease pressures on critical support sectors like housing and healthcare.
During the pandemic, Canada rewarded candidates already in the country with lower CRS scores in Express Entry draws.
What Can You Expect?
If you’re in Canada on a work or study permit, keep an eye out for potential PR opportunities.
While policy specifics remain uncertain, this shift could benefit those already integrated into Canadian life.
