What is a Canada PR Visa?

A Canada PR Visa (Permanent Residence Visa) allows you to live in Canada permanently, work, study, and enjoy almost all the rights of a Canadian citizen. With PR, you are not just a visitor; you are a long-term resident who can build your life and career in Canada. Many people choose to apply for a Canada PR Visa because Canada offers high living standards, world class education, quality healthcare, and a safe environment for families.
