New information on PR for people who were in care
Steps to Justice has information on the new permanent residence pathway for people who were in care as children. It lets them apply for permanent residence if:
- they came to Canada under the age of 19,
- a child protection agency or authority, such as a Children’s Aid Society in Ontario, was legally responsible for their care for at least 1 year because of a court order, and
- they meet other conditions.
People must apply by January 21, 2027. Read our new information to learn more about:
