Canadian Immigration Laws: Permanent Residence Status
Obtaining “permanent resident status of Canada” is also known as “immigration to Canada” or becoming a “landed immigrant of Canada”. The successful end result of the Canada immigration application process is the issuance of a Canada immigrant visa, which confers permanent status upon the applicant who, as a permanent resident, will enjoy all the same rights and privileges as those of a Canadian citizen (i.e. free health care, free elementary and secondary education, subsidized post-secondary education, the right to work in Canada) with just a few exceptions.
Unlike Canadian citizens,
- a permanent resident cannot vote;
- a permanent resident cannot hold a Canadian passport; and
- a permanent resident can be deported for certain criminal convictions.
A Canadian permanent resident is eligible to apply for Canadian Citizenship after three (3) years of receiving Canadian permanent residency. One is eligible to apply for a Canadian passport after obtaining Canadian Citizenship.
Pursuant to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of Canada, a permanent resident can remain outside of Canada for no more than three (3) years within any five (5) year period without being deemed to have abandoned his/her Canadian permanent resident status.
Persons to whom a Canadian immigrant visa has been issued must present themselves to a Canada immigration officer at one of the official ports of entry of Canada in order to become a permanent resident.
To be eligible to become a permanent resident of Canada, the aspiring resident must meet the requirements of one (1) of three (3) classes of immigration: the Independent/Skilled Worker Class, the Family Class or the Business Class and one must apply for permanent resident status through a Canadian visa office (i.e. High Commission/Embassy/Consulate).
Permanent Status - Canada Immigration Categories:
Independent/Skilled Worker Class
Family Class
Business Investors
Business Entrepreneurs
Business Self-Employed
