Great video! I admire your passion to help people with Canadian immigration matters. 1. Unlike a US green card and as per CIC, you do not NEED a PR card to be a permanent resident of Canada, nor do you need it to retain your PR status. Although PR cards do expire, it won't affect your PR status like an expired US green card would. You can live in Canada for the rest of your life without your PR card but as the vlogger mentioned, it's still better to get citizenship or keep your PR card valid. 2. Believe it or not, before I became a Canadian citizen, and as a Jamaican passport holder who needs a VISA to enter Cayman, I was able to use my PR card at the time to enter Cayman. In other words, you can travel to some other countries on your valid passport and PR card but always check that country's travel requirements before making travel plans. 3. Another main difference between citizenship and PR is not jeopardizing your PR when you leave Canada for extended periods . As a PR, you can only remain outside of Canada for maybe up to 2/5 years. As a citizen, you can remain outside of Canada indefinitely without jeopardizing your ability to return to there. 4. Lastly, as a PR, you risk deportation if you're convicted of certain crimes and lack Canadian government protection if you're in trouble in other countries. As the vlogger had previously mentioned, if you intend to set up shop in Canada for a while, get citizenship, as it will benefit you in many other ways.

Also as a PR if your passport expires, that has to be renewed back home. Normally take awhile for you to get it back

[@zigmiss1]

PR card can expire but not pr status ... 3 difference is that as citizen u dont have to be present in Canada to keep your status.... As citizen u can go back to Jamaica and live there for 10 years or whatever and still be citizen of canada... If you do so as PR you will loose your PR

[@abbylx]

One more difference, could be common sense. If you travel, a citizen is protected by the Canadian Embassy. If you have a PR, you cannot contact the Canadian Embassy. You have to contact the Embassy of your home country.

I like your energy. I didn't wanted to subscribe since I'm not really looking to immigrate in near future. But your energy compelled me to subscribe. Looking forward to more videos.

[@samuelogah4895]

Nice videos. It could also make sense to renew your PR if your country of origin does not permit dual citizenship, and you want to maintain that citizenship status. Keep doing a good job. Beginning my application soon!!

[@Shawnjames777]

You don't lose your PR unless it is revoked. If your PR card expires you are still a Permanent Resident. The Card is mainly for the purpose of traveling. You can choose to be a PR for the rest of your life without ever having to renew your card if you never travel.

[@jobsucks]

You forgot one more benefit of being Canadian. You can enlist in the Canada armed forces.

[@HarleyQuinn_93]

I was born in the US and want to emigrate to Canada to live there but not lose my US citizenship. How can I become a dual citizen?

[@philliploco5037]

Yes. Permanent Residents can work for the Government of Canada in certain roles. According to the Government of Canada’s website, those with PR status cannot: vote or run for political office, hold some jobs that need a high-level security clearance

[@jackolantern7342]

One thing I enjoy about these videos (apart from the lively and laidback Jamaican vibe :-)) is how genuine and un-scripted they are. Very fun and informative.

[@carolinelunglo8421]

Buddy wah ! Iam deeply touch by your body language ya !

[@DarlingtonFEgbu]

The Citizenship process is easier because all the information you gave the Immigration for the/during the Permanent Residency Interview is what is carried over to your citizenship process. The major issue during the citizenship interview is simply for the Immigration to go back to your records, since you have been in the country, to make sure that you do not have any kind of criminal and/or fraudulent record; which include paying your taxes, having Police records, etc.

[@omarwellington4194]

Your permanent residence is different from your PR card. Your permanent resident never expired. your PR card expired which is permanent resident card that’s all I’m not your permanent resident status

Can a tourist that extends their visits long enough to have an overall more than 3 years in Canada over 5 years able to apply for citizenship? Or do you have to be a permanent resident first?

[@thepizzaelf]

The time only starts counting after you u become a permanent resident. So you have to become a permanent resident first and then stay for 3 years

[@AsToldByCanadianImmigrants]

HI there thanks for watching! to my knowledge you cannot get loans in Canada unless you have landed immigrant status. They hardly want to give credit cards. It may be more beneficial to get a loan from your home country or apply for an international student scholarship. Have a look at this link. Hope it helps. Student Loans International students with study permits: you are not eligible for bank or government student loans in Canada. Plan to apply for landed immigrant status: you could become eligible for loans once status is granted. Emergency loans: some colleges and universities offer 1-time emergency loans for international students. You will need to contact a school’s financial aid office directly for more information. www.ontario.ca/page/study-ontario-international-students#section-9

[@AsToldByCanadianImmigrants]

The Canada First Party I suppose if one were to compare it to what they would be getting in their home country... they’d likely be happy.

[@paulita0012]

@@AsToldByCanadianImmigrants can you get a loan if you are a permanent resident? even if you have been living there few years?, for example only one or wo years?

[@trishtanadecunha329]

Just to reconfirm, if you’re a PR and you would like to apply for your spouse you would be able to do so? Is the PR spousal application process slower compared to if your spouse is a citizen? (Does it matter of your spouse is PR or Citizen) Because I’ve heard one process is faster, I’m not sure how true this is.

It's not true , time frame is no different regarding the 2 statuses

Sorry I don’t watch the whole video but my Q? For example: Me and my wife both immigrant PR in Canada but i have born a child in Canada is it possible my child atomaticaly a citizenship in Canada? Ur same as both parent PR status?

[@AsToldByCanadianImmigrants]

hI THERE! Thanks for stopping by. Yes i believe once a child i born in Canada they are citizens.... unless there are some unusual circumstances. I have a child now, i am a citizen but her dad is a PR and she is a Citizen has a Canadian birth certificate and passport, But if i was a PR she would still be a citizen. Hope this helps!

If your parents are citizens you are Canadian automatically.

True, but you have to claim it before a certain age.

[@firewatermoonsun]

Not always. If the parents were born outside of Canada and when the child born outside of Canada would not inherit canadian citizenship via parents automatically. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/father-stunned-citizenship-won-t-pass-on-to-children-1.3997606
