There is no dearth of those who wish to become a Canada permanent resident even while majority of the candidates wish to get hold of the nation’s prized PR status so that they may eventually acquire citizenship, besides a passport for the nation, and, of course, other accompanying benefits.

Through a variety of easy-to-follow immigration schemes and ways one may file a visa petition to get the PR status, such as:

Family Class Sponsorships: Family reunification continues to be a key platform of the Maple Leaf Country’s immigration structure, and obtaining this target is mainly achieved, via the Family Class Sponsorship arrangement. With a view to make the cut through Family Class Sponsorship, it’s vital that the person getting sponsorship for a PR permit is a member of the family category as described by the Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC).

• An offer of employment from a national recruiter/company.
• Skills & employment experience in requirement in the country.
• The aim to come-up with an assured investment with a national bank of Canada.
• The aim to launch or invest in a firm in the country.
• An expertise or trade which the aspirant plans practicing as a self-employed person.

Post a submission has been duly presented and sanctioned even as the foreign nationals get their PR Permit, one may shift to the nation and enjoy several of the parallel rights as the proud citizens of the Maple Leaf Country. The PR residents have a right to benefit from the national healthcare, set-up their residence, besides do a job in any of the provinces, get protection, via the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms, and also submit a submission for the much sought after citizenship once the conditions have been duly fulfilled.

The only key difference between a permanent resident and a citizen is the authority to hold public office, enlist for the defence forces and cast votes. Acquiring a PR status in Canada is a BIG advantage even while the same may be taken back, in case the holder n is found guilty of a serious crime and consequently is exiled.

An additional way in which a PR resident may lose his position is by not being able to fulfill his residency conditions. It’s mandatory that the person, who enjoys PR status, spends not less than 2 years out of every 5-year time-frame in the country.

With a view to cater to the residency condition, the Canada permanent resident should have spent 730 days inside the previous 5 years doing either of these, namely, living and remaining in the Maple Leaf Country, accompanying his Canadian citizen partner out-of-the-country, or working overseas for a national firm of Canada.
