Of all the countries on the planet, Canada is well regarded as a “heaven for immigrants.” That’s primarily because the maple syrup capital of the world continues to attract immigrants due to its culture, better work opportunities, and friendly faces.

Canada’s welcoming behaviour towards the global community, growing economy, and simple immigration procedure have made it an ideal choice for people to apply for permanent residency in the country. Getting your hands on Canada’s permanent residency comes with many perks!

Ability to Live and Work

Once you have obtained permanent residency in Canada, you have the flexibility to migrate to any territory or province in the country. You are not compelled to stay with a firm or a job, or even within a province and can move around the country as you please. With Canada being ranked as the second-best country to live and work in, who wouldn’t want to move there right away.

Ability to Renew Your Visa

The majority of permanent residency cards in Canada are valid for five years. However, some permanent residency cards are only valid for one year. Furthermore, there is no limit or restriction to the number of times your visa status can be renewed. Officers will assess your purpose and history to determine whether you have a good reason to stay or not.

Every child (up to 18 years of age) in Canada is entitled to free education up to Grade 12. Furthermore, tuition expenses for permanent residents are significantly lower than for nonpermanent residents or international students when it comes to higher education.

Free Healthcare

As part of the Canadian immigration process, all permanent residents are entitled to receive healthcare from the Government of Canada. All permanent resident visa holders in Canada are entitled to free medical care, which includes all prescription medications paid for by taxation.

The Path to Citizenship in Canada

You can live in Canada for five years after obtaining permanent resident status. You are eligible for Canadian citizenship if you have physically lived in Canada for 1,095 days (three years).
