Hi Sania,
What exactly do you mean by "change the TFW status" ?
Do you mean if your cousin can apply for immigration and become a Landed Immigrant after he come to Canada as TFW ?
-Yes, if he comes to Canada as a TFW, he may apply for his immigration under CEC program where he has to work for 2 years and then he/she will be eligible to apply for immigration under this program. There might be some restrictions on the job type but he is eligible to apply under this category after he/she accumulates 2 years of full time Canadian work experience.
If you are asking if he/she can extend his/her stay and continue work in Canada, as per current rules and regulation of CIC he/she can apply for extension but the employer has to obtain LMO (Labor Market Opinion) from HRSDC deptt. in Canada that they need this worker for another (x) years. After this approval reapply for extension and this can be renewed. But there might be some more requirements.
Also keep in mind that these are the current rules. After 4 years there could be different rules.
I hope this helps and answers all of your questions.
Regards,
James
