Who is a permanent resident in Canada?

A permanent resident is a citizen of a different country, who has been granted permanent resident status upon immigrating to Canada. A permanent resident is not a Canadian citizen. A permanent resident must live in Canada two years out of five, or risk losing that status.

Canadian permanent residents

Each year, more than 200,000 people can enter Canada as permanent residents. They complete an application process that gives them the opportunity for a new life in Canada. Once approved to enter Canada as a permanent resident, a person receives a Permanent Resident Card (formerly the Landed Immigrant form) and enjoys almost all of the same rights as citizens of Canada (with the exception of voting privileges and unlimited stays when traveling outside of Canada) . The process to obtain permanent residence in Canada is complex and tedious. It is also in a state of constant flux due to different foreign policy initiatives and regulatory changes.

Canada green card evaluation

People outside of Canada often refer to Canada Immigration, also called a Permanent Resident Visa, as Canada Green Card. General immigration, business immigration, family sponsorship and parental sponsorship are four diverse sectors, an immigration application form will be evaluated.

General Immigration

Also called Express entry, this General Immigration form is provided for professionals and workers. Express Entry is a new way to manage the application with immigration programs such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canada Experience Class. Provinces and territories will also be able to recruit candidates from the Express Entry pool for a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) to meet the needs of the local labor market. Through Express Entry, individuals who meet the criteria for one of these programs will be placed in a candidate pool. The Government of Canada, provincial and territorial governments and Canadian employers may select individuals from this group.

business immigration

A Business Immigration form is provided for individuals with management experience or for high net worth business owners. Canada’s Business Immigration Program also seeks to develop new business opportunities and improve access to growing foreign markets by welcoming people who are familiar with those markets and their special requirements and customs. Individuals with business/managerial experience and relatively high net worth may apply for a Canada Immigration Visa (Permanent Resident) under the Canada Business Immigration Program in one of the following three subcategories:
