Frequently Asked Questions
How long does PR status last?
PR status is indefinite as long as you meet the residency obligation (2 out of every 5 years in Canada). You must renew your PR card every 5 years.
What are the benefits of PR vs. work permit?
PR grants the right to work for any employer, access provincial health insurance, sponsor family members, and apply for citizenship after 3 years. Work permit holders are restricted by their permit conditions.
Can I lose my PR status?
PR status can be lost if you don't meet the residency obligation (2 years in 5), are convicted of serious crimes, or voluntarily renounce it. Quitno helps maintain your PR status with compliance reminders.
