Spouses and Children of Permanent Residents

Spouses and children of permanent residents are immediate family members who are eligible to apply for legal status to live in the country. If granted, they can obtain permanent residency, allowing them to work, study, and access benefits similarly to the primary resident. This process helps keep families together and provides stability. Each country’s immigration laws specify the criteria and application procedures, which often require proof of family relationship and sometimes additional documentation or sponsorship from the permanent resident. In summary, it's a pathway for family members to join their relative and enjoy legal residence rights.
