Am I Eligible to Immigrate to Canada?

Permanent residents must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within every 5-year period to keep their PR status. Time as an accompanying spouse of a Canadian citizen abroad, or working full-time abroad for a Canadian employer, can count toward the 730 days. Failing the residency obligation can lead to loss of PR status, particularly when applying to renew the PR card. Citizenship requires 1,095 days within 5 years.

Canada can remove permanent residents for serious criminality (sentences of 6 months or more), organized crime, security threats, human or international rights violations, and misrepresentation in their original PR application. PRs found inadmissible receive a removal order from CBSA or the Immigration Division. Some grounds allow appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division. Failing the residency obligation does not lead to deportation but can cause loss of PR status.

Targeted pathways for healthcare, French speakers, and trades may expand, but no general TR to PR program is open.
