Permanent Resident(PR)

A permanent resident (PR) of Canada is one that has been granted permission to live, work, and settle in Canada for the rest of their lives as long as they maintain their status. As a permanent resident of Canada, you have the right to benefit from the same social benefits as Canadian citizens if you pay your taxes and follow all government and standard law regulations.

To become a permanent resident, one must apply to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through one of Canada’s many immigration programs.
