Canada remains committed to providing opportunities for individuals contributing to its growth and development. In line with this commitment, the government has extended a temporary public policy aimed at out-of-status construction workers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), offering them and their families a pathway to permanent residence.
What is this Public Policy?
This temporary public policy enables a select number of out-of-status construction workers and their dependents to apply for permanent residence in Canada. The policy, initially introduced to address labor shortages in the construction industry, underscores Canada’s acknowledgment of the significant role these workers play in building the nation.
The program is limited to 1,000 applications and has been extended until December 31, 2024, or until all available spots are filled—whichever comes first. Given the limited spots, it is crucial for eligible applicants to act quickly.
Who is Eligible?
To qualify under this public policy, applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Employment in Construction: You must currently work or have worked in the construction industry within the Greater Toronto Area.
- Location: The policy applies specifically to individuals residing in the GTA, which includes the City of Toronto and the following regions:
- Durham
- Halton
- Peel
- York
- Out-of-Status: Applicants must be out-of-status, meaning they lack valid immigration status in Canada.
Why Apply?
- Pathway to Permanent Residence: This policy offers an opportunity to secure a stable future in Canada for you and your family.
- Limited Availability: Only 1,000 spots are available, making this a unique and time-sensitive opportunity.
- Extended Deadline: The program runs until December 31, 2024, allowing more time for preparation and submission, but early action is advised as spaces are filling up quickly.
How to Apply
- Verify Eligibility: Confirm that you meet the requirements outlined above.
- Prepare Documentation: Gather the necessary documents, including proof of employment in the construction sector, residency in the GTA, and identification for yourself and your dependents.
- Submit Your Application: Ensure your application is complete and submitted before the deadline or the program reaches capacity.
