A. Canadian Landed Immigrant status requires a person to live in Canada a certain number of days and obtain a Canadian Permanent Resident Card (“PR”) or risk losing the status. Canadian Citizenship is a step higher than Canadian Landed Immigrant status. After you have obtained Canadian Landed Immigrant status you can apply for Canadian Citizenship. With Canadian Citizenship status you have benefits: no longer required to live in Canada or lose status; PR Card not required; can get passport; and can vote. An application must be made to obtain a PR Card. An application must be made to obtain Citizenship.
