Temporary Policy Extension Allows Foreign Workers on Closed Permits to Change Jobs

Foreign nationals in Canada on closed (employer-specific) work permits can continue benefiting from a temporary public policy that allows them to switch employers or occupations before receiving a new work permit. This COVID-era policy, renewed effective May 27, 2025, permits eligible individuals to request interim authorization from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to start a new job while their new work permit application is pending. To qualify, applicants must have valid temporary resident status, have submitted a new work permit or extension application, and have been authorized to work at the time of submission. Applicants must also plan to work for a new employer or in a new occupation listed in a job offer. Authorization from IRCC, usually received within 10–15 days, is required before starting the new job. The updated policy removes the previous exemption from biometrics and remains in effect until further notice.

Can You Keep Your Original Citizenship After Becoming Canadian?


Canada recognizes dual citizenship, allowing you to retain your original nationality after becoming a Canadian citizen—if your home country permits it. Each country has its own rules:


Dual citizenship status by country:

  • India: Not allowed; must renounce Indian citizenship.

  • China: Not allowed; citizenship is lost automatically.

  • Iran: Not recognized; considered solely Iranian and subject to restrictions.

  • Philippines: Allowed under conditions (e.g., by descent or marriage).

  • Nigeria: Allowed if citizenship is by birth or descent; not if by naturalization.

  • Pakistan: Allowed with countries like Canada; no renunciation required.

  • United States: Allowed; must use a U.S. passport to enter/exit the U.S.

  • Brazil: Fully allowed; no renunciation required.

  • France: Fully allowed; no restrictions.

  • Syria: Allowed, but Syrian law takes precedence within Syria.

To naturalize in Canada, you must meet residency, tax, language, and testing requirements, and take the citizenship oath.

Yukon Outlines 2025 PR Nomination Allocation Amid High Demand and Limited Quota

Yukon has revealed how it will distribute its 215 permanent residence (PR) nomination slots for 2025—half the number it received in previous years. Of these, 152 are set aside for new invitations to apply, 55 for 2024 carryover applications aligned with territorial priorities, and 8 reserved for regulated healthcare positions. Due to increased demand from employers, Yukon adopted a new Expression of Interest (EOI) system this year, requiring employers to submit EOIs on behalf of foreign workers. The territory confirmed that it received more eligible EOIs than available spots, meaning no further intakes are planned in 2025. Priority is being given to workers with temporary letters of support, those already in Yukon, Yukon University graduates, and French-speaking candidates. The shift to the EOI system was prompted by federal cuts to nomination allocations and aims to ensure the most critical labor needs are met with the limited number of nominations available.
