Canada offers various residency programs. A residence permit allows you to live, work, and access education and healthcare in the country.
A permanent resident of Canada may freely enter and exit the country using their PR card. Visa-free travel to certain countries (such as Mexico and various Caribbean nations) is also possible for those holding Canadian permanent resident status.
Permanent residents have the right to work in any Canadian province without restriction, as well as to study at Canadian universities at tuition rates that are 3 to 4 times lower than those for international students.
Permanent residents are entitled to free public healthcare (Medicare)—the same coverage enjoyed by Canadian citizens. This covers doctor visits, hospitalization, and most medical services.
Permanent residents can open accounts at Canadian banks without restriction, obtain credit cards and mortgages, and access all financial services on an equal footing with citizens.
Language proficiency requirements for English or French vary depending on the specific immigration program (ranging from level A2 to B1 on the CEFR scale). For most programs, passing the IELTS or TEF exams is sufficient.
The PR card is issued for a 5-year term and can be easily renewed, provided the residency obligation (physical presence in Canada for 730 days within the preceding 5 years) has been met. Renewal is possible without leaving the country.
After residing in Canada as a permanent resident for 3 years (within the preceding 5-year period), one may apply for Canadian citizenship—either without a history exam under certain conditions, or by taking a simple citizenship test.
A residence permit is a biometric document allowing permanent residence and temporary stay in EU countries. The holder has the right to obtain permanent residency and subsequently apply for citizenship.
A student residence permit is suitable for those who plan to pursue an education and subsequently remain in the country.
To obtain one, you must:
• be admitted to an accredited educational institution;
• provide proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses;
• demonstrate a genuine intent to study.
Advantages:
• the opportunity to work up to 20 hours per week while studying;
• the opportunity to remain in the country after graduation through the Post-Graduation Work Permit program;
• a streamlined pathway to permanent residency.
The validity period of the residence permit corresponds to the duration of the study program.
Enroll in an accredited educational institution, demonstrate sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses, and prove a genuine intent to study.
Secure a job offer from a Canadian employer; in most cases, undergo the LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) process; and provide proof of qualifications, work experience, and language proficiency.
Secure support from an accredited fund or business incubator, demonstrate proficiency in English or French, and provide proof of sufficient funds to cover living expenses.
The primary requirement is the presence of a sponsor in Canada who can demonstrate the financial capacity to support the applicant.
A TRP is a special authorization allowing entry into Canada in exceptional circumstances. It is issued when formal grounds for refusal exist (e.g., a criminal record or medical restrictions), yet there are compelling reasons justifying entry.

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about obtaining residency, to quickly understand the key stages and opportunities.
The renewal procedure depends on the country and type of residence permit. Usually the renewal application is submitted 1-3 months before the expiry date. We remind clients of the deadlines and prepare all the necessary documents for the renewal.
Minimum stay requirements depend on the program. Some programs (for example, the Greek Golden Visa) do not require mandatory residence. Others (work residence permit) imply a constant presence. We will choose a program that fits your lifestyle.
The most accessible residence permit programs are: Greece (from EUR 250,000), Turkey (from USD 200,000), Portugal (from EUR 500,000), UAE (from AED 500,000). Each program has its own advantages - we will help you choose the optimal one.
It depends on the type of residence permit and the country. An investment residence permit (Golden Visa) usually does not grant the right to be employed but allows you to run your own business. A work residence permit grants the full right to be employed.
A residence permit is a document granting the right to legally reside in a country. A residence permit in EU countries provides the right of visa-free movement within the Schengen area, access to healthcare and education, and the possibility of starting a business.
Tax obligations depend on the country and your tax residency status. A number of countries (Cyprus, Malta, Portugal) have special tax regimes for new residents. We work with tax consultants and will help optimise the tax burden.
