Residency and Citizenship

A Canadian permanent resident is an individual who has been issued permanent resident status by immigration Canada after meeting all of IRCC’s requirements.

Permanent residents receive many of the same benefits Canadian citizens have. However, there is a distinct difference between the two; permanent residents must adhere to certain requirements known as residency obligations. Once these obligations have been met, only then, can the Permanent resident transition to Citizenship.

Canadian Citizenship awards the individual with protected civil liberties under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which means you will now be able to vote, hold a Canadian passport, run for public office, live anywhere in the world without losing your citizenship, among other benefits.
