Permanent Residency

Permanent Residency

Make Canada Your Forever Home

Canada offers one of the most welcoming immigration systems in the world. As a Permanent Resident (PR), you can live, work, and study anywhere in Canada—and enjoy most of the same rights as Canadian citizens.

Whether you’re a skilled worker, student, entrepreneur, or family member, there’s a pathway to PR that could be right for you.

✅ What is Permanent Residency?

A Permanent Resident is someone who has been granted the right to live in Canada indefinitely while retaining citizenship of another country.

PR Status Includes:

Access to Canadian healthcare and social benefits
The right to live, work, or study anywhere in Canada
Protection under Canadian law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
A clear path to Canadian citizenship
