By Agnes Dickson


If you become a permanent resident of one country, it would mean that you may live and may work around that country. Still, you are not allowed to vote or to occupy a post. You also could not live outside the country for years. You may also go to school and, for other countries, receive their health benefits.

You may have all that benefits by the time you become a Canadian resident. There are just some things on how to apply for Canadian residency. You must follow those things for you to get the status.

First, you should understand that you may be a resident but you are still not a citizen of that country. You also have to pay taxes and obey the law. If you are a resident, you may apply for citizenship after living there for a number of years.

You are required to get a Permanent Resident Card. This card is your proof that you have a Canadian residency. If you leave Canada, you will be needing this card to be able to enter back to Canada. This card is a plastic card just like those health cards or a license. You will receive it in the mail when you have Canadian residency. It is valid for about five years. After five years, you should renew that one.

To have one, you must first have all the needed documents. You should have one primary identity papers like a passport or a travel document. You should have another identity papers. You may place a copy of the driving license you have or a student ID or you tax document. You may submit more for added proof. If you are below 18, you must place a birth certificate or some papers from a guardian.

Place two of your pictures in a tiny envelope. Those pictures are those taken within the twelve months of your application. Write down your name on the envelope. The picture should show your face clearly. You look must be neutral. You could wear glasses or any accessory but check that it does not disguise you.

If you have papers not written in English or in French, you must include the English or the French translation of that. You must also submit an affidavit from the one who made the translation. See to it that it is certified. It should not be certified by any family member. It is a must that you have it certified only in Canada.

Fill up their application form. See to it that all info is written and accurate. If there is information lacking, the form will be returned and cause delay. Pay for their fee. It currently costs 50 US dollars. Print its receipt for proof. Have the forms mailed to the processing center.

Having Canadian residency gives you lots of benefits. Your rights and benefits would almost be like be a citizenship. You will also be protected by their law. If you want to become one, just be sure that you are qualified to apply.
