What are the benefits of becoming a permanent resident of Canada?

Permanent residents enjoy almost all rights and privileges of Canadian citizens. They can live, work, or study anywhere in Canada and access free healthcare, education, and social services. PR holders are protected under Canadian law and can apply for citizenship after fulfilling residency requirements. They can also sponsor family members for immigration. PRs benefit from Canada's strong economy, low unemployment rates, and multicultural society. After a few years, they can become full citizens, enjoying voting rights and a Canadian passport - one of the most powerful in the world.
