What about Temporary Residents?
Temporary resident in Canada can extend their stay during Canada’s coronavirus response.
If you are a temporary resident looking to extend your stay, visit the IRCC website for more information. This applies to residents who want to stay in Canada for:
- Study
- Work
- Visitor Permit.
If you have submitted an extension application, it is under review. You can continue living in Canada as you wait for a response.
Steps to Take Your Immigration Application at the Meantime
The IRCC expects some delays for the time being.
As a result, candidates interested in submitting their Express Entry applications should expect disruptions.
However, this should not sway them from preparing their documents to the best of their ability.
For example, candidates awaiting to get their language test results might have to wait longer. However, this is a great chance for candidates who are waiting to do the test. Disruptions mean that they have more time to practice for their tests.
Good scores in the language test increase the chances of getting big points for Express Entry candidates.
As a future resident, an Express Entry Candidate can also use the time to collect all the complementary documents.
Canada to Welcome Over One Million Immigrants in the Next Three Years

This plan shows that the IRCC is open to welcoming even more migrants.
Once the Covid-19 concerns come to a halt, you might get a chance to become a permanent Canadian resident. Keep in touch.
