At Karden Law, we help you navigate the complex PR process, ensuring you meet the eligibility requirements and choose the best program for your situation.

Can You Apply for PR While on a Work Permit?

Yes! If you’re working in Canada, you may already be on the path to permanent residency. Several PR programs consider your work experience, job type, and income level when assessing eligibility. We’ll help you determine which PR route is best for you, whether you:

  • Have a valid work permit
  • Have been working for a specific period
  • Are employed in a high-demand sector (like construction)
  • Have a Canadian family member who can sponsor you
  • Meet the requirements for special immigration programs

PR Pathways for Work Permit Holders

Canada offers multiple immigration programs for workers looking to get PR. These include:

Express Entry – The Fastest Route for Skilled Workers

If you have skilled work experience (NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3), you may qualify for Express Entry under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).


Your eligibility depends on factors like age, language proficiency (IELTS), education, and work history.


A higher CRS score improves your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Get PR Through Your Province

Each province has its own PNP streams for workers with local job experience.


Some PNPs prioritize occupations in demand, including construction, healthcare, and tech jobs.


If you receive a provincial nomination, you get 600 extra CRS points, making PR almost guaranteed!

Family Sponsorship – Get PR Through a Relative in Canada

If you have a spouse, partner, or parent who is a Canadian citizen or PR, they may be able to sponsor you for PR.


This is a great option if you have family ties in Canada but don’t qualify for economic immigration programs.

Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Grounds – Special Considerations

If you have been living and working in Canada without legal status (undocumented), you may still qualify for PR under H&C grounds.


This program considers factors like family ties, length of stay, community contributions, and hardship if forced to leave.
