Canadian Permanent Residence VS Work Permit Visa

Foreign nationals who have moved to Canada but have been given the government's status of permanent residents receive a PR. Students who are only temporarily in the country do not obtain a PR because the two words are completely at odds with one another.


Here, we'll go through the key distinctions between obtaining a Canadian work permit (WP) and permanent residency (PR) by way of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). It's important to keep in mind that selecting the programme that best satisfies your immigration needs is a personal choice that should be extensively addressed with a knowledgeable immigration lawyer or adviser. So let's begin by understanding what a work permit actually is.


What is a "Work Permit"?


Using a work permit, as the name implies, a person from another country is given permission to work in Canada for a specific amount of time. The only time someone is eligible to apply for a work permit is after they have been engaged to work in Canada by a Canadian business.


PR for immigrants coming to Canada on business


If you are travelling to Canada on business, you are only eligible to apply for permanent residence if you make a considerable economic contribution to the nation. Such individuals are cordially welcomed in Canada.

Work Permit to PR in Canada


Although transferring from a work visa to permanent residency might be time-consuming and disruptive in some cases, it is achievable. If you work in Canada, you can apply for PR through various programs.

 

The most well-known is the CEC or Canadian Experience Class. Before applying for PR under this system, applicants must have at least two years of work experience in Canada, a postgraduate degree from a Canadian university, and one year of work experience.

 

“Quebec Experience Class” is another program similar to the CEC. If you have worked as a skilled worker in Quebec for at least a year and speak French at an intermediate level, you are eligible to apply for this program.
