(portuguese)

If you and your eligible family members are issued a Permanent Resident (PR) Visa to Canada, you will be authorized to live and work in Canada long-term, receive free basic healthcare (after an initial waiting period), and have access to various Canadian educational programs. Canadian permanent residents and citizens enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world, plus they live in one of the most beautiful countries on Earth. After living in Canada at least three years during a five-year period as a Canadian permanent resident, and meeting other eligibility requirements, there is also an option to apply for Canadian citizenship. These are just some of the many benefits you and your family could receive if you are issued a PR Visa to Canada!
