Shared consultation briefing · version 1

Shared 2026-10-26. Assessment released 2026-10-26. This saved version stays unchanged when your live assessment or saved opportunities change.

Sharing is for consultation preparation. It does not mean a lawyer has reviewed or accepted your matter.

Your goal

You’re aiming for: Permanent residence (become a permanent resident).

You’re aiming for: Permanent residence (become a permanent resident). We checked your answers against 28 requirements for your goal. Here’s what we found: 22 appear to be met, 3 may not be met, 2 need more information and 1 needs a lawyer to look closer.

Suggested pathways

• Express Entry: Canadian Experience Class: From what you told us, 7 of 7 requirements checked appear to be met.
• Express Entry: Federal Skilled Worker Program: From what you told us, 12 of 12 requirements checked appear to be met.
• Bridging open work permit (BOWP): A75: From what you told us, 0 of 1 requirement checked appear to be met. We still need to confirm: BOWP: in Canada, valid/maintained/restorable worker status, PR application at the required stage.
• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program: Ontario Workforce Priority stream: From what you told us, 0 of 1 requirement checked appear to be met. Here’s what may not be met: Ontario Workforce Priority stream: a full-time, permanent Ontario job offer (or self-employed physician).

Deadlines and missing information

• Work permit expires: to keep your status, IRCC must receive any application to extend it, or for a bridging open work permit, before it expires (online, before midnight UTC on this date): 2027-06-26
• Reported expiry of your Canadian work permit: 2027-06-26
• Language test results reach two years old (submit your PR application before this date): 2028-02-10
• Educational credential assessment (ECA) reaches five years old (complete your profile and submit your PR application before this date, or ask the organization that issued it whether it can re-issue it): 2029-11-05

• We need your permanent residence acknowledgement of receipt (or approval in principle), the program you applied under, and confirmation you hold valid, maintained or restorable worker status in Canada.
• We need to confirm that at least one year of your Canadian work earns CRS points. Under the Ministerial Instructions, it must be full-time work (at least 30 hours a week) or the same amount part-time, done in Canada within the last 10 years while you had temporary resident status, and not unauthorized or done during full-time study. It must also be TEER 0 to 3 work for one or more employers, paid by wages or commission, or work as a physician (NOC 31100, 31101 or 31102) providing publicly funded medical services, which can count even if you were self-employed. Our questions do not ask about your temporary resident status during that work, so check it, and your weekly hours, against your records. If you told us that some of the work was done without permission to work or outside Canada, count only the periods in Canada while you were allowed to work. If you told us that some of the work was done during full-time study or was self-employment, count only the periods outside full-time study and, unless it was that physician work, outside self-employment: with 2 years or more of work, those periods may still add up to a year or more. Until then, treat the Canadian work points in your score as provisional.

Selected opportunities and scenarios

Assumptions and limits

• We checked your answers as they stood on October 26, 2026, against the rules in force then. A change announced after that day isn’t included here.
• You answered "not sure" or "not decided" to 11 questions, so we treated them as not yet known rather than as a "no": Have you completed at least 6 consecutive qualifying months in this exact offered position within the 12 months before applying; Do you qualify as a recent Ontario graduate and have at least 3 consecutive qualifying months in this exact offered position within the 12 months before applying; Have you completed at least 2 years of qualifying paid experience, or its permitted part-time equivalent, within the 5 years before applying; How does all of the experience counted for that two-year alternative match the offered job's NOC; and 7 more.
• You skipped 3 questions, so nothing here relies on them: Tell us a little about your background and what you hope to do in Canada.; What Ontario Workforce Priority application submission date are you checking; On what date did you actually take the language test used for this Ontario application.
• If we couldn’t tell whether a requirement applies to you, we kept it in view. That means one requirement here may turn out not to concern you.
• We took your educational credential assessment and your language test results as valid on the day you apply. Key dates above says when each stops counting; after that date the result changes.
• 3 answers you wrote in your own words were not read by the rules: they only read the questions with set answers. A lawyer reads what you wrote.
• We used the family size you gave (1) for every amount of money a rule asks you to show.
• Selected scenarios use the rules and sources available at the capture date. They are conditional comparisons, not predictions or legal advice.
• A saved listing is not a job offer, admission decision or work authorization. Corrections below are statements for discussion and do not change the assessment.
