FAQ
Do student years count fully toward the 5 years?
Often they count partially. We calculate your real count based on your exact visa history.
Can I travel while my PR is processing?
Usually yes if you keep a valid bridging status and follow MOI rules. We advise on safe travel timing.
Do I get free labor market access?
Yes - permanent residence removes work-permit restrictions.
Is Permanent Residence the same as citizenship?
No. It’s the highest residence status, and a common stepping stone toward citizenship if you want it later.
