Canadian Permanent Residency

Permanent residents are immigrants who have been granted permanent residency status in Canada but are not citizens. They are citizens of other countries. A student or foreign worker who is temporarily in Canada is not a permanent resident.

Refugees who are resettled from overseas become permanent residents either through the Government-Assisted Refugee Program or the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program. When a refugee claims asylum in Canada, they do not become permanent residents. The Immigration and Refugee Board must first approve their claim before they can become one. Then they must apply for and obtain permanent resident status.
