Obtaining a Canadian permanent resident status can open up an entirely new world of opportunities. Still, this can be a challenging task. Let us look at some common questions and provide the answers. These can make the process itself much easier from a short- and long-term perspective.
Will I always need to posses my permanent residency card?
Should you travel outside of Canada, it is critical to have this card in your possession. This is proof that you are a Canadian resident. If you do not present this card, you will be required to obtain a permanent resident travel document.
What benefits will a permanent residency (PR) card provide?
Some of the primary advantages that you will enjoy include (but are not limited to):
- Obtaining social security and health care coverage.
- The opportunity to work, study or live anywhere in the country.
- The potential to apply for eventual Canadian citizenship.
- Your rights will be protected under Canadian law.
What happens if I live outside of the country for an extended period of time?
Permanent residents are able to live or work outside of Canada for a maximum of two consecutive years. If you exceed this limit, you may lose your permanent resident status and be required to apply once again.
These are three common questions which are important to address. Permanent resident status is an excellent means to enjoy all that Canada has to offer. Still, obeying the rules and regulations is essential.
