Citizenship

Canada Citizen / PR Dependent Visa

For people wishing to immigrate to Canada, the PR visa is a popular option. After all, why not? Many people have attempted to move to Canada because of the country's immigrant-friendly policies and the government's encouragement of migrants to come and establish here.

Aside from that, settling down in Canada promises a nice lifestyle and suitable living conditions. There are several job options available, as well as the prospect of personal liberty.

Obtaining a Permanent Resident (PR) visa is one of the ways to migrate to Canada. You will be granted permanent residence status with a PR visa. A PR visa has a five-year validity period and can be renewed.

The PR visa does not make you a citizen of Canada; you are still a citizen of your native country. As a PR visa holder, you can enjoy the following benefits:

• Can apply for Canadian citizenship in the future
• Can live, work and study anywhere in Canada
• Eligible for healthcare and other social benefits enjoyed by Canadian citizens
• Protection under Canadian law

If you are a student or a worker from another nation, you must apply for a PR visa separately; it does not immediately make you a permanent resident of the country.

Refugees from another nation are not automatically accepted as permanent residents of the United States. The Immigration and Refugee Board must approve their status as refugees. Following that, they can apply for and receive PR status.
