Permanent residency in Canada is a status granted to individuals who are not Canadian citizens but have been authorized to live and work in Canada indefinitely. Here are some key points about permanent residency:
Rights and Benefits: Permanent residents have many of the same rights as Canadian citizens, including access to healthcare, the ability to work and study in Canada, and protection under Canadian law.
Residency Obligations: To maintain permanent resident status, individuals must live in Canada for at least 730 days within a five-year period.
Pathways to PR: There are several pathways to obtaining permanent residency, including through economic programs (like Express Entry), family sponsorship, and humanitarian programs.
Citizenship Pathway: After meeting certain residency requirements, permanent residents may apply for Canadian citizenship if they choose.
Not a Citizen: Permanent residents do not have the right to vote or run for political office and can be subject to removal from Canada under certain circumstances.
