What is a permanent resident in Canada?

- Obtain the majority of social advantages available to Canadian citizens, such as health care coverage
- Can work, study, and live anywhere in Canada.
- Can seek citizenship in Canada
- Obtain legal defense under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Canadian permanent residence via Express Entry
The next step is to apply for Canadian PR now that we are aware of what it requires. As previously noted Express Entry is the most well-known and fast procedure. The following is a quick, step-by-step guide to the Canada PR process:
First, check your eligibility.
The first step is to check whether you are eligible for any of the three Express Entry-managed programs, which include:
- Federal Skilled Workers Program
- Federal Skilled Trades Program
- Canadian Experience Class
For this, you must understand the specific requirements for each program in full before you can take a free online profile evaluation. You must respond to a few questions during the profile review in order to determine whether or not you match the minimum eligibility standards.
Step 2: Gather all required documentation.
The next step is to obtain all the required paperwork, such as a certified copy of the language test result or identification documentation. To initially demonstrate your eligibility for entry into the Express Entry pool, all of this is needed. It is advisable to obtain certain documents in advance because they could take longer to obtain in some cases.
For the initial stages of your Canada PR process, you require the following papers to create your profile:
- Valid travel document or passport
- Results of a valid language test
- Report on the evaluation of educational credentials for degrees obtained outside of Canada (If applying via the Federal Skilled Workers program or want to gain points for the education gained outside of Canada)
- Territorial nomination (not mandatory, only if you have)
- An employment offer from a Canadian company (not mandatory, only if you have)
- You will receive an invitation to apply for Canada PR if you are selected from the applicant pool and move up among the top candidates. In this situation, you must also submit the supporting paperwork listed below with your final application:
- Police certificates
- Medical exams
- Proof of funds
Step 3- Submit your Express Entry profile
The following step in your Canada PR procedure is to make and submit your profile and give the IRCC information about you (Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada). The IRCC will add you to the candidate pool if you are qualified. Your profile will be evaluated and given a score inside the pool based on many criteria, such as age, education level, work experience, language ability, etc.
You will be rated in the pool based on your evaluation using a reliable points-based system, such as CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System).
Please note that submitting an Express Entry profile and joining the pool does not ensure that you will receive an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
