Every year, Canada welcomes thousands of new residents. Coming to Canada as an immigrant is an exciting opportunity, but can also be a great challenge.
According to Canada Immigration law, "Permanent Residents" are individuals who intend on residing in Canada on a permanent basis.
Permanent residents of Canada have the right to live, study and work in Canada for as long as they maintain their Canadian Permanent Residency status. Permanent Residents are entitled to most of the social benefits accorded to Canadian Citizens. However, Permanent Residents also have the same legal obligations as Canadians, such as paying taxes and respecting all other laws. If you or your dependants commit serious crimes while in Canada, you or your dependents may be deported from Canada.
Once Permanent Residents have met the requirements under Canada's Citizenship Act, they are entitled to apply for Canadian Citizenship.
