It gives the grantee the right to live and work in Canada without any time limit on their stay. For a foreigner to become a Canadian permanent resident, they must apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), formerly known as Citizenship and Immigration Canada, under any of their several programs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Canadian permanent resident gets a valid permanent resident card or a permanent resident travel document (PRTD) from the Canadian government. They must always make it available to present during all travels to and around Canada. Take note: becoming a Canadian permanent resident does not mean that you are already a Canadian citizen; you may still be a citizen in a different country &#8211; usually your country of origin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, are you thinking of applying for permanent residency in Canada and don\u2019t know where to start?
