PR in Canada

PR or permanent residence in Canada is granted to all those who have successfully completed the immigration process and received approval under one of the immigration programs.

With Permanent Residency, you will have access to the same social benefits as Canadian citizens, with a few exceptions: you won’t be able to vote, run for public office, or hold positions requiring a high level of security clearance. Over time, you will also become eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship – that is, a Canadian passport.

Citizenship, Immigration and Refugees Canada (IRCC) has specific requirements for the set of documents needed for each type of immigration program. The documents required to enter the country may vary and depend on different stages of the immigration process.

Successfully completing the process of obtaining permanent resident status in Canada is marked by receiving a special visa.

A Canadian immigrant visa (PR) is a visa issued for the purpose of entering the country and obtaining permanent residency.

On average, the process of obtaining a permanent resident visa in Canada takes from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the initial data of the applicant.
