Your Path to Permanent Status in Canada
Permanent residence can provide individuals and families with the ability to live, work, and build their future in Canada on a long-term basis, as well as sponsor relatives for permanent residence. For eligible permanent residents, Canadian citizenship may later represent the final step in their immigration journey.

Every case is different, and understanding the requirements that apply to your circumstances is an important part of developing the right immigration strategy.
