New instructions are available for a temporary public policy (TPP) to support Quebec in its objective of transitioning a greater proportion of eligible temporary residents to permanent residency under its provincial program. IRCC is proposing to facilitate access to employer-specific work permits under the International Mobility Program (IMP) for select temporary foreign workers via a time-limited public policy.
