Permanent Residency
Canadian Citizenship
Once you become a permanent resident of Canada, you will have the right to get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive (local tuition fees, health care coverage, etc…) and may be able to apply for Canadian citizenship after living several years. To keep your status as a permanent resident, you are required to meet certain residency obligations. You can also keep your original citizenship after becoming a permanent resident or a citizen of Canada as Canadian law allows you to hold two or more citizenships if your country of citizenship also accepts dual citizenship!
