Canada PR vs. Canada citizenship benefits

A Canada PR and a Canada citizenship both allow candidates to settle and work within Canada. But they have major differences with respect to validity period, travel permit, voting rights, and more.

 

What is Canada PR?

Canada PR is a permanent resident pathway for individuals who can migrate for work, study, or to set up a business. The individuals must meet the immigration requirements to be granted a Canada PR visa. They can enjoy a wide number of benefits similar to Canadian citizens, except for voting.

 

What is a Canadian Citizenship?

Individuals are considered as Canadian citizens if they are born within the country, apply for a citizenship from a foreign country, or have become citizen via the citizenship act. They are eligible for a Canadian passport. They are not required to renew the visa as the citizenship is permanent and can stay out of the country as long as they wish to.
