Permanent Residence
| Permanent Residence allows an individual to legally reside in
Canada without any conditions on the time they can remain or
restrictions on their ability to work. People who are settled in
Canada are also free to travel out of and into Canada provided, generally, they do not stay out of
Canada for more
than three years in a five year period. This is known as the returning residents rule.
There are a number of means to secure permanent residence in Canada that are normally dependent on the person's existing status and length of residency in Canada to date, or their ability to qualify for programs available through Citizenship and Immigration Canada. For example, a spouse of a Canadian citizen or resident, with permission to remain in this country on the basis of their marriage, would be eligible under the In-Canada Spousal class and therefore could apply for permanent residence in Canada under that program. In general, to apply for permanent residence, an application needs to be made to Citizenship and Immigration Canada on an official application form and include all relevant supporting documentation. There are many ways in which one can apply for permanent residence in Canada. The Immigration Professionals are able to advise you on the immigration regulations pertaining to permanent residence and determine how you could lawfully acquire residency. Our staff will, free of any charge, gladly examine your present immigration status and advise how and when you would be eligible to apply.
