Canada Permanent Resident Application

An individual who gets permission for permanent resident status by migrating to Canada is known as a Canadian permanent resident.

A permanent resident can enjoy a few of the same advantages as Canadian inhabitants. However, they can maintain their symbol of status by meeting certain requirements like the residency obligation.

Benefits of Canadian PR status

Here are 5 of the major benefits you'll experience once you become a Canadian permanent resident:

1 – The ability to live and work anywhere in Canada

Canadian permanent residents have the legal right to live and work anywhere in the country. If a new PR starts in Montreal but finds a better job in Toronto, they will have every right to move. Permanent residents aren't tied to a specific employer or province.

Additionally, Canadian permanent residents can leave and enter Canada's borders using their Canadian permanent resident card or permanent resident travel documents (PRTD).

2 – Access to universal healthcare and social services

Canadian healthcare is universal, which means access to free medical care. Once an individual becomes a permanent resident, they can access Canada's healthcare and social services.

3 – Family sponsorship

Permanent residents can apply to sponsor their spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children to join them in Canada. That said, if you immigrate through Express Entry, you can include your family on your initial application so you won't have to sponsor them later.

4 – Free education for children

Children of Canadian permanent residents can study for free up until secondary school. After graduating, post-secondary school is also much cheaper for permanent residents than for international students.

5 – Can transition to Canadian citizenship

Becoming a permanent resident is the first step to becoming a Canadian citizen. After residing in Canada for three out of five years, PRs are eligible to become citizens. Once a PR has transitioned to Canadian citizenship, they can vote, apply for a Canadian passport, and no longer need to renew their status there.

6 – Protected rights

The rights of Canadian permanent residents are protected under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Canada Permanent residence cards

Once a person becomes a Canadian permanent resident, they can apply for a Canadian permanent resident card (PR card). This card indicates a person’s PR status in Canada. Permanent residents can use the PR card to travel in and out of the country.

Canada Permanent residence card renewal

Most permanent resident cards are valid for five years, though PR cards are occasionally only valid for one year. The Canadian government encourages permanent residents to keep track of their expiration date and apply to renew their Canadian permanent resident card within six months of expiring.

Canada Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)

Suppose a permanent resident is without a valid PR card and has gone to an outer country from Canada and wants to come back to Canada in this situation. In that case, a person must apply for a permanent resident travel document.

Canadian permanent residency requirements

An individual must meet a residency obligation to maintain permanent resident status in Canada. The residency responsibility refers to a person’s physical presence in Canada for a fixed time. Canada’s residency commitments require a permanent resident to be physically present inside of Canada for nearly 730 days within five years or to fall under several exceptions.
