Canada Invites 250 Senior Managers With Canadian Work Experience for PR
Canada has issued invitations to 250 senior managers with Canadian work experience to apply for permanent residence through its Express Entry immigration system.
The invitations were issued on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, as part of a targeted Express Entry selection conducted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Applicants selected in the latest draw were required to have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 389.
Unlike a general Express Entry draw, the latest selection was aimed specifically at candidates with Canadian work experience in senior management occupations.
The development offers eligible foreign workers already in Canada another opportunity to transition from temporary status to permanent residence, provided they meet the relevant immigration requirements.
Foreign nationals who have submitted a permanent residence application through Express Entry may also qualify for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP).
The permit is designed to help eligible applicants continue working in Canada while they wait for a decision on their permanent residence application.
Applicants whose existing work permits expire while their BOWP applications are being processed may, in certain circumstances, benefit from maintained status. This can allow eligible individuals who remain in Canada to continue working under the conditions of their previous permits while awaiting a decision.
Eligible family members may also qualify for work permits, depending on their circumstances and the applicable immigration rules.
The latest Express Entry draw highlights one of the routes available to experienced senior managers with Canadian work experience seeking permanent residence in Canada.
