  • Entered Canada as a temporary resident but currently has no status. Failed refugee claimants or those with pending refugee claims are ineligible
  • Lived in Canada for at least 5 years continuously
  • Have worked for at least 4680 hours in the past 5 years in one of the eligible construction trades in the GT
  • Have extended family in Canada who are Canadians or permanent residents or have a spouse, common-law partner, or child in Canada (they don’t have to be Canadians or permanent residents
