Update: The pathway from temporary residents to permanent residents closed on 5th November 2021. But for a certain period, the temporary to the permanent resident pathway is open and it is for those who are working in Canada and have their families with them. They are planning to open the window again for 2022 and also are willing to complete 1.3 million new permanent residents by the period 2022-2024. However, no official announcement in this regard is yet out.
For those who are interested in migrating to Canada, the immigration department of Canada has recently released six new immigration streams for international graduates and essential workers. They are taking this initiative because immigrants make their workforce and skilled labor mostly.
