Do you want to settle abroad, but not sure which visa category would be appropriate?

Well, it’s the question of most of the people who want to live and work in an overseas country, as they often remain confused about the right visa option for them. It’s a well-known fact that you cannot get direct citizenship in other countries, particularly if you are a skilled professional. You have to first find a way or visa category to enter in your destined country and then only, you explore the pathways to get citizenship.

However, countries like Canada and Australia offer you the permanent residence(PR) visa, which provide the visa holder several rights and privileges, similar to a citizen.

What does Permanent Residency (PR) mean?

Permanent residency in Canada, Australia, etc. countries, allows you to live and work in any part of that country on a permanent basis. You get most of the rights and privileges similar to a citizen except the few. In Canada and Australia, hundreds of families from countries, like India, China, Philippines, etc. are living on a permanent basis.

However, they need to meet the conditions attached to their Permanent residence (PR) Card. Today, Canada and Australia are the countries, which perhaps have the easiest Permanent residency process.
