Canada Immigration Updates
Program information reviewed October 9, 2026. Use the linked guides and official government pages to check the rules that apply when you prepare an application.
Family visits and sponsorship
Explore our new Super Visa and Visitor Visa guides. These provide temporary status; permanent residence sponsorship has different requirements. Check the current Parents and Grandparents Program status before planning a new sponsorship application.
Express Entry
The former additional 50 and 200 CRS points for job offers were removed on March 25, 2025. Job offers may still affect eligibility. Category-based selection criteria and invitation rounds can change; review Express Entry and the current IRCC instructions.
Study and work
Review current study permit, PGWP and spousal open work permit requirements. Language, field-of-study, family eligibility and permit conditions depend on the applicant’s category and dates.
Provincial and community programs
Visit our PNP directory and RCIP guide. Ontario’s official page now lists its Workforce Priority stream and states the other streams are closed. Saskatchewan’s Entrepreneur and Farm pathways closed in March 2025.
Paused and closed pathways
Start-Up Visa and Self-Employed Persons intake are paused. Home Care Worker Immigration pilot intake is closed to new applications, and the Yukon Community Pilot closed June 30, 2025. Existing applicants should follow the instructions for their submitted files. These statuses do not create new application eligibility.
Our Windsor team can review your circumstances and documents and explain the services available under an agreed retainer. Government authorities decide applications; eligibility, invitations and approval are not guaranteed.
Official information: Check the latest program requirements. Intake, fees and processing times can change.
