A Permanent Resident of Canada is someone who has applied for and been approved for Permanent Resident status within Canada. A Permanent Resident is not yet a Citizen. A Permanent Resident is still considered a Citizen of another country. Permanent residency allows an individual to work and live in Canada without being a citizen of Canada yet.
A Permanent Resident does not have a time limit on how long there are allowed to stay. A Permanent Resident has many of the same obligations as a Canadian Citizen.
When an individual obtains a permanent residence, they are allowed to live outside of Canada as well. However, this individual must live in Canada for a span of at least two years within a five year period. If the individual does not oblige, they are at risk of losing their Permanent Resident status.
