					<description><![CDATA[On March 20, 2026 the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that new income calculation rules for Canada's Super Visa program will take effect starting March 31, 2026. This update will make it easier for Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their parents and grandparents to Canada as long-term visitors. The Super Visa program allows parents and grandparents living abroad to obtain visas to Canada and authorizes them to stay for five years at a time as visitors. This five-year period is also extendable by two years after arriving in Canada. In exchange, Super Visa applicants must meet certain income and medical insurance requirements, since visitors are not allowed to work in Canada and are not eligible to receive provincial or territorial health coverage.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last November 2025, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Lena Diab, introduced the annual levels plan which featured an “In-Canada Focus” for permanent residence including a repeat of the popular “Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident” pathway specifically targeting 33,000 applicants. The TR to PR pathway was originally introduced in 2021 in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic which saw increased numbers of temporary residents in Canada and provided them with an opportunity to transition to permanent residency. See the Minister’s announcement here: CIMM – Temporary Residence to Permanent Residence Pathways. With the levels of workers and students remaining at relatively high levels, IRCC’s “in-Canada focus” is good news for aspiring immigrants already working in Canada.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The past year has not been a year of good news in our blogs. Since at least December of 2024 our messages have been about restrictions, delays, limitations and refusals. However, three cases that we have had in our office in the past few months demonstrate that sometimes Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does show compassion in times of crisis reuniting family members together in Canada. Let’s look at the circumstances of these cases and the steps that applicants took to earn IRCC’s trust to bring their family members to Canada.]]></description>

This substantial change took effect immediately and applies to all EE candidates who have not already received an ITA. Given the current uncertain immigration environment, permanent resident hopefuls must now re-evaluate their chances of receiving an ITA and proactively plan their next steps.
