Temporary workers - Canada.ca

The page restructures the "Processing" section's priority-processing guidance. The former generic "Priority processing (14 days) of work permits under the Global Skills Strategy" entry is now scoped explicitly to "TEER 0 and 1 occupations," and the explicit 14-day timeframe is dropped from the label. A new separate entry, "Priority processing – Temporary workers in essential occupations," is added, pointing to a new apply page. Several section/link labels were also reworded (Step 3, Step 4, employer non-compliance list, work permit issuance heading, open work permits link) without changing substantive content. Consultants should verify which occupations now qualify for GSS priority processing and check the new essential-occupations priority stream for client eligibility.

When a change lands, the engine re-checks the files it affects

Navisa is an AI file-prep engine for Canadian immigration firms. It reads the documents on a file, cross-checks them, runs the eligibility analysis against retrieved official sources, and flags what an officer would — citations attached. It does not replace the judgment of a licensed immigration professional; a consultant reviews and approves the work.

Navisa Prep is document-preparation software for individuals — cited comparisons and options, never advice. The Navisa platform is the case engine for licensed firms.
