However, this opportunity is time-limited and currently scheduled to end on August 31, 2026.

Family Members and Settlement Planning
This public policy also allows applicants to include family members as part of their permanent residence application.
The program supports:
- Inclusion of spouses or partners
- Inclusion of dependent children
- Immigration options for family members outside Canada
This makes the pathway particularly valuable for individuals planning long-term family settlement in Canada.
Why Timing Matters
This program is temporary and currently valid until August 31, 2026.
Because the pathway operates under section 25.2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, proper documentation and timing are essential.
Applications may also involve:
- Approval in Principle (AIP)
- Medical examinations
- Criminality checks
- Security screening
Submitting a complete and well-structured application significantly improves processing efficiency and reduces risks.

A Time-Sensitive Opportunity for Hong Kong Residents
Canada’s Hong Kong permanent residence pathway is designed to retain talented individuals who have studied or worked in Canada.
For eligible applicants, this policy provides one of the most accessible pathways to permanent residence currently available.
However, the opportunity is temporary and deadline-driven.
If you are a Hong Kong SAR or BN(O) passport holder currently living in Canada, now is the time to assess your eligibility.
