Canadian Permanent Residency
Do you want to settle in Canada permanently? If yes, file a permanent residency application. This allows immigrants to live and work in Canada on a permanent basis. With PR visa applications, the government gives a pathway to select potential immigrants who are experienced in a trade that is in demand in Canada and have the zeal for adjusting to the lifestyle of the country.
With a PR visa, an individual is allowed to live and work anywhere in Canada for a duration of five years. An application is applied to the Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to get permanent residence status.
Once an individual gets the Canada PR visa, he/she can apply for citizenship after the time period of 3 years of living and working here. After getting Canadian citizenship, they avail the rights of being a Canadian citizen

- Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
New Rules For Canada PR Visa
Whether you want to apply via Express Entry Program or Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), the rules and the guidelines are different for both. Some of the general rules to be followed include:
