Hi everyone, my name is Marilene Quintana ,I'm a regulated Canadian immigration
consultant and in this video i'm going to talk about
the five benefits to become a permanent resident
of Canada
so first let's talk about what is Permanent Residency
in Canada so becoming a permanent resident of canada it is a status that allows you
to live and work anywhere in canada when
you become a partner president of canada you are recognized as an immigrant
that has the same rights as a canadian citizen
the only two rights that it won't have it is the
the right to vote and the right to obtain a passport
but you also become eligible to apply for citizenship
once you have lived in canada as a permanent resident for at least
three years a good way to to understand the benefits
is to compare with the green card in america so
a lot of people knows about the green card in canada we call it
pr card permanent resident card or permanent resident status
so the first benefit that we're going to talk today is about the
right that you have to go live and work anywhere in canada so even if you apply
indicating one specific province as your desired destination
you have the freedom the mobility freedom to move
and work and live anywhere of course there are some problems that
you have demonstrated the intention to live in that province
so you have at least to comply with that requirement
meaning trying to make a living on that province that you showed the intention
but still you have the mobility right and if you don't adapt for any reason
you have the freedom to move and live anywhere you like
another great benefit to become a permanent resident of canada
is to have access to the universal health care
and canadian social services most cases without a cost as you may know
in several countries it is very expensive to have access to healthcare
services you have to pay for your own pocket and
some countries even though they offer the services for free the quality
of the services are not as good as should be forcing the
citizens to apply for uh medical services from their
own pocket in canada the universal healthcare it is
for everyone it has quality it has access it has technology and is one of
the great benefits of becoming a permanent resident of canada
the third benefit that i want to discuss with you guys today
is once you are permanent president of canada you also have the ability to
sponsor your spouse your children your parents
your grandparents and you can also provide
extra points for your siblings and family members
so it's a great opportunity for you to not be
in canada by yourself but also help your family members to join you
and take advantage of the benefit of living and working
in canada the fourth benefit that i want to discuss with you guys today is
actually a sum up of a lot of great things that
we have in canada here in canada we have security we don't
have high rates of criminality for example and you
feel very safe walking and going anywhere here in
canada you also have a very accepting and inclusive society so it
doesn't matter your religion your sexual orientation
your political opinions you'll be respected for
who you are in canada and people will accept you accept your
culture you accept your accent and you accept your differences without
discriminating you and that's very important the sense of
belonging when you are in a new country in this quick summary i also want to
highlight that canada is one of the strongest economy in the world
and this for example allowed the government to support the citizens
and residents in canada during the covid-19
very well for example the government of canada is offering two thousand dollars
for everybody who lost their jobs they are
offering to companies 75 percent of subsidy for their wage
so they don't have to fire people even though they had a loss in business
and this is one of the things that make me so proud of being canadian because
i know that in the hard times and the hard moments i could count
on my government on the superiors there to take care of us and it's
important to say that comparing to other neighboring
nationalities our dollar is cheaper for you to make your canadian
dream come true the fifth benefit that i brought to you
guys is that once you become a permanent resident of canada
all the hard work that you put together pays off
because this cannot be easily taken from you
in order for you to lose your permanent residency you must
be outside canada for over three years within the five years
of the period that you are granted or you have to commit like a very serious
crime in order not to be eligible to renew
your permanent resident status in canada so
most cases it is totally fine for you to to have a normal
life in canada and feel yourself at home and once you put the hard work
you just have either to renew which is a very simple
application or you can always qualify and apply for
citizenship so it's definitely a great thing for you
to to pursue because once you achieve you can make
canada your home forever so that's all guys that i brought for
