Canada announces a permanent residence boost: extra nominations planned for use by 31 March 2027
Canada announced extra provincial and territorial nomination places for workers already living there and their families. The places are intended to be used by 31 March 2027 for permanent residence in 2027. This is not a new application window or a reopening of closed routes.

This is an announcement, not a law. Nothing has changed yet, announced plans are often changed or dropped, and there is nothing to apply under until it is in force.
