Yes, a Canada work visa can lead to permanent residency (PR). The steps include obtaining a valid work permit, legally working in Canada to gain Canadian work experience, and meeting eligibility criteria for immigration programs. Key programs include:
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
After qualifying, foreign workers can apply for PR. It’s important to maintain valid status and comply with work permit conditions throughout. Consulting immigration experts or government resources can help ensure a smooth transition from a temporary work permit to permanent residency.
