Permanent Residency
A Canadian permanent resident is someone who has been granted permanent resident status by immigrating to Canada. A permanent resident enjoys many of the same benefits of Canadian citizens. However, unlike citizens, they must maintain their status by meeting certain requirements like the residency obligation.
Canadian permanent residency requirements
In order to maintain permanent resident status in Canada, a person must meet a residency obligation. The residency obligation refers to a person’s physical presence inside of Canada for a set amount of time. Canada’s residency obligation for permanent residents requires a person to be physically present inside of Canada for at least 730 days within a five-year period or to fall under one of several exceptions.
Express Entry:
Express Entry accepts applications under 4 different streams:
- Federal Skilled Worker
- Federal Skilled Trades Worker
- Canadian Experience Class
- and various Provincial Nominee Programs
We will assess your education and work experience to determine your eligibility for at least one of these streams through Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS). We assist you in gathering all the supporting documents and additional information required for Express Entry Application.
Family Class/Sponsorship:
Sponsorship applications are often turned back as incomplete so, let our immigration team navigate the family reunification system for you. We will prepare the correct application package and handle all the details, including assistance with gathering the proper documents to prove the relationship is genuine. We will also evaluate if there are options for your loved one to stay and possibly work in Canada while the PR application is in the process to minimize the time spent away from your spouse, common-law partner, child, parent, or grandparent.
Provincial Nominee Program:
This program is for workers who have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory, want to live in that province, and wish to become permanent residents of Canada.
Each province and territory have its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. For example, in any program stream, provinces and territories may target students, business people, skilled workers, semi-skilled workers. We will assess your education and work experience to determine your eligibility for at least one of these streams. We assist you in gathering all the supporting documents and additional information required for the Application.
Spousal Sponsorship:
If you are married or are in a common-law or conjugal relationship, your partner is eligible to sponsor you through the Inland or Outland Spousal Sponsorship categories – depending on whether your spouse is currently residing in Canada or not. The final decision, however, on whether to accept an application comes down to the visa officer reviewing your file.
