A Canadian permanent resident is an individual granted permanent resident status through immigration to Canada, distinct from Canadian citizenship. Permanent residents retain citizenship of their home countries. Temporary visitors to Canada, such as students or foreign workers, do not hold permanent resident status.
The requirements and procedural steps for obtaining permanent residency vary based on the chosen pathway, underscoring the importance of acquiring comprehensive knowledge and considering consulting with an immigration expert. Upon approval or invitation to become a Canadian permanent resident, recipients are issued a PR Card.
While anyone can apply for permanent residency in Canada, only qualified individuals are accepted. Eligibility is assessed based on 4 human factors: age, education, work experience, languages + adaptability.
Express Entry is the most popular immigration pathway to Canadian Permanent Residence, which has a processing time of up to 6-12 months. To qualify for Express Entry you will need to know your CRS score.
Family sponsorship serves as a means to bring families together in Canada. Canadian citizens and permanent residents have the option to sponsor their relatives for immigration to Canada through various sponsorship programs.
The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is a program designed to assist temporary foreign workers and international students already residing in Canada in utilizing their work experience and educational background to pursue permanent residency in Canada.
PNPs are programs that have been designed by provincial governments in cooperation with IRCC to facilitate the process of settling, finding work, and adapting in specific provinces in Canada for specific groups of foreign nationals. Within these programs, each province decides based on its requirements what groups of foreign nationals would do better and help boost the local economy.
Obtaining permanent residency through a work permit is a common route, achievable through programs such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
International students in Canada typically follow a pathway similar to those with work permits, starting with the Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) program before applying for permanent residency.
