What is the new immigration rule in Canada?

Will TR to PR open again in 2023?

TR to PR program was a golden opportunity introduced by the Canadian Immigration Deparment to meet the annual permanent resident targets during the pandemic since they were unable to admit new immigrants from outside Canada.

Temporary residents in Canada should not put their hopes or expect a new TR to PR program similar to what we saw in 2021.
