What Is Permanent Residency?

Permanent Residency is a legal immigration status that allows a person to live in a foreign country on a long-term or permanent basis, even if they are not yet a citizen of that country.

A permanent resident usually gets the right to live, work, and study in the country, subject to the conditions of that country’s immigration rules. In many countries, PR can also become a pathway to citizenship after meeting residence and eligibility requirements.
