Canadian permanent residency is the legal status that allows individuals to live and work in Canada permanently. To apply for permanent residency in Canada, an individual must first choose a program under which to apply and meet the eligibility requirements of that program. There are several different programs through which an individual can apply for permanent residency in Canada, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Provincial Nominee Program.
To apply for permanent residency, an individual must submit an application online or by mail, along with the required documents and fees. The required documents may include proof of identity, proof of education and work experience, and proof of language proficiency. The applicant must also undergo a medical examination and may be required to provide a police clearance certificate.
The processing time for a permanent residency application can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the location of the applicant, the volume of applications being processed, and the completeness of the application.
Once the permanent residency application is approved, the applicant will be issued a permanent resident visa, which allows them to enter Canada as a permanent resident. The applicant must then land in Canada within the validity period of the visa and meet the requirements for landing, including presenting the original documents and fulfilling any other requirements that may apply.
