Permanent Residency

Permanent residency is a legal status granted to non-citizens that allows them to live and work indefinitely in a country. Permanent residents enjoy many rights similar to citizens, such as access to jobs, education, and healthcare, but they do not have the right to vote in elections. To obtain this status, individuals typically go through an application process that includes meeting specific eligibility criteria, such as having a job offer, family connections, or refugee status. Permanent residency can be a pathway to citizenship, but it requires adherence to certain obligations, such as maintaining residency and complying with laws.
