PR Overview

Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) is a legal status that allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada on a long-term basis. PR holders enjoy most of the rights of Canadian citizens and may apply for citizenship after fulfilling residency and other requirements.

Each year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) admits over 400,000 new permanent residents through a variety of federal and provincial immigration programs

Becoming a Canadian permanent resident offers several key benefits:

●  The right to live and work anywhere in Canada

●  Access to universal public healthcare

●  Subsidized post-secondary education for children

●  The ability to sponsor eligible family members

●  Legal protection under Canadian law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
