Canadian Permanent Residency

Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) is a status that allows individuals to live, work, and study in Canada indefinitely. PR holders are not citizens but enjoy many of the same rights, such as access to healthcare and social benefits. They can apply for Canadian citizenship after meeting certain residency requirements. To obtain PR, applicants typically go through various immigration programs, like Express Entry or family sponsorship, which assess skills, education, and work experience. PR must be maintained by meeting residency obligations, and individuals can lose their status if they fail to comply with these requirements.
