Permanent Resident

A Permanent Resident is a person who has been granted the right to live and work in a country indefinitely without obtaining citizenship. This status often allows individuals access to many benefits, such as healthcare and education, similar to citizens, but they may not have the right to vote or hold certain government jobs. Permanent residents must uphold residency requirements, avoid criminal activities, and can eventually apply for citizenship if they choose to do so. This status is common in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia as a pathway for immigrants.
