Permanent resident (PR) applicants in Canada [R207 – A70] – International Mobility Program
This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by IRCC staff. It is posted on the department’s website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
These instructions apply to IRCC employees. Given that applicants in Canada cannot submit their applications at a port of entry, the instructions do not apply to border services officers.
The instructions on this page should be reviewed in conjunction with the following:
Section 207 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) applies to applicants who have been determined eligible as members of certain in-Canada permanent residence classes and includes protected persons and family members, whether or not they have applied for permanent resident status.
An unrestricted open work permit may be issued to a foreign national who has met the requirements of section R207 under their respective class.
As per section R202, applicants who are issued a work permit under paragraph R207(c) or (d) do not, by reason only of being issued a work permit, become temporary residents.
