PR (Permanent Residency)

Permanent Residency (PR) is an official status that allows a foreign individual to live, work, and access certain rights in a country indefinitely, without becoming a citizen. It grants stability and legal permission to reside legally, though it typically does not include voting rights or full citizenship privileges. PR is often granted through immigration programs based on employment, family connections, or humanitarian reasons. Maintaining PR status may require meeting specific residency or other conditions. It serves as a vital step for those seeking long-term integration into a country while retaining their original nationality.
