Canadian PR Visa Overview

A PR status can be granted to an individual for a period of five years. It is a multi-entry visa based on the education, work experience, language proficiency and a few other factors. The PR visa is generally processed within the time frame of six to nine months and under this visa the candidate can live and work anywhere in Canada. To keep your permanent resident status, you must have been in Canada for at least 730 days during the last five years. These 730 days don’t need to be continuous. Furthermore, after staying in Canada for a period of three years, the candidate can apply for a Canadian citizenship.
