Canada is one of the most popular places for immigrants. Due to its welcoming nature, great healthcare and social benefits, and opportunities, it’s often the first choice to immigrate for many.
Let’s learn more about the benefits of obtaining a permanent residency in Canada.
Right to work and live in Canada
Canada is among the top-ranked countries in terms of favorable living and working conditions.
It’s also one of the best places for cultural diversity, overall sustainability, entrepreneurship, economic influence, and general quality of life.
Once you receive your Canadian permanent residence, you get the right to move to any province or territory across Canada. You don’t even need to stick to one job, employer, or province.
You can easily renew or extend the visa every 5 years
Most of the PR status cards for Canada are valid for up to 5 years. However, some PR cards have only valid for a single year. In addition to this, there’s no limit to renewing your visa status.
You can sponsor your family on the PR
Once you get your PR, you can also sponsor your family members. They can pursue their studies, careers, or just live with you, given that they can cover their expenses. However, you must note that the sponsor must be 18 years or older to bring their family members to Canada.
Canada offers completely free education for your kids
If you’ve got permanent residence in Canada, your children can get their education completely free till grade 12 (or until they’re 18 years of age).
Canada offers education on three different levels: higher education, secondary, and primary level. Moreover, for permanent residents, the tuition fees are greatly reduced for graduate education at the university level.
Universal healthcare
The Canadian government and their relevant authorities also offer universal healthcare for permanent residents. For every person who has a PR visa, medical care is entirely free. It also covers all the drugs that are prescribed by the doctors, and the expenses are paid through taxes.
The immigrant can also apply for their public health insurance in Canada.
