Permanent Residence Visa
Permanent Residence Visa
A "PR visa" or a "Permanent Residence visa" means a category of a permit granted by the government to the foreign workers and investors. This visa is granted to skilled professionals like Engineers, IT professionals, Health care specialists etc. In some countries, a Permanent Residence is granted upon investment in Real Estates, bonds, infrastructure projects.
Canada is known as the most ideal country to obtain Permanent Residency Visa, in view of its soft immigration policies, high employment rate, and perfect settings to raise family. There are different immigration programs in Canada, which offer Permanent Residency Visa to the highly skilled and talented overseas workers and professionals, i.e. Express Entry System, Quebec Skilled worker Program (QSWP), Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), etc.
However, most of these programs follow a point based immigration system and hence, your selection for PR visa depends on the total points you score based on your education, age, language skills, work experience, etc. factors. The permanent residents of Canada are given the Permanent Resident Card (PR Card) as a proof that they are Permanent Residents of Canada (in case the card holder travel outside Canada). The card holder would require the PR Card if re-enters Canada after leaving it once.
