TR to PR pathway 2025

So you know that your work permit extension will be approved. You need to research provinces that are still inviting IT NOCs. Many are focused on healthcare, trades etc. Without a job offer in the province where you are eligible then chances are low. Or high wage LMIA where employer cannot hire a Canadian/PR.

With the increasingly restrictive policies, I really don't know if my WP will be renewed or not. Until then I have throttled the business back significantly, in case I am asked to leave.

You are right about the NOC and provinces. I have 30 years in IT in healthcare environment. My EE profile has Ontario, Alberta and BC on it, in case I get picked up from there. Looking for LMIA jobs too but not a single opportunity in 2 years !!

BC and Alberta require job offers. Only Ontario is a possibility without a job offer but hasn't been an IT draw in years. LMIAs are very hard to secure especially with the crack down on fake LMIAs.

I understand.
Will be grateful if you have any other possibilities to share.

Thank you indeed for your time and guidance. You have shared more than a few consultants that I went to !
