Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about permanent residency and our services

While both permanent residency (PR) and citizenship offer long-term rights to live in a country, there are important differences:

  • Permanent Residency:
    • Allows you to live and work indefinitely in the country
    • May have residence requirements to maintain status
    • No voting rights in most countries
    • May have some restrictions on benefits and employment
    • Can be revoked under certain circumstances
    • Travel on your original passport with PR card/visa
  • Citizenship:
    • Full membership in the country with all rights and privileges
    • No residence requirements to maintain status
    • Voting rights and ability to run for public office
    • Full access to all benefits and government jobs
    • Cannot typically be revoked (except in cases of fraud)
    • Right to hold the country's passport

Most countries allow permanent residents to apply for citizenship after a certain period of residence (typically 3-5 years).

Processing times for permanent residency applications vary significantly by country, pathway, and individual circumstances:

  • Canada:
    • Express Entry: 6-8 months from Invitation to Apply (ITA)
    • Provincial Nominee Programs: 12-18 months
    • Family Sponsorship: 12-24 months
  • Australia:
    • Skilled Independent Visa (189): 8-14 months
    • Employer Nomination Scheme: 9-12 months
    • Family Stream: 12-24+ months
  • New Zealand:
    • Skilled Migrant Category: 12-18 months
    • Residence from Work: 6-9 months
  • United Kingdom:
    • Indefinite Leave to Remain: 6-8 weeks (after qualifying period)
    • Qualifying period: Typically 5 years in a relevant visa category

These timeframes are general estimates and can vary based on application volumes, policy changes, and individual case complexity. We'll provide current processing time estimates specific to your situation during your consultation.

If your permanent residency application is rejected, you have several options depending on the country and specific circumstances:

  • Appeal or Review:
    • Many countries offer formal appeal processes or merits review
    • Time limits for appeals are strict (typically 14-60 days)
    • Appeals require addressing the specific reasons for rejection
  • Reapplication:
    • Submit a new application addressing the previous refusal reasons
    • Some countries require waiting periods before reapplying
    • Include additional or improved documentation
  • Alternative Pathways:
    • Explore different immigration programs within the same country
    • Consider other countries with similar opportunities
    • Pursue temporary visas that may lead to PR in the future

Our consultants can help analyze rejection reasons and develop a strategic response plan, whether through appeal, reapplication with strengthened evidence, or exploring alternative immigration pathways.

Yes, most permanent residency programs allow you to include immediate family members in your application:

  • Eligible Family Members:
    • Spouse or common-law/de facto partner
    • Dependent children (generally under 18-22 years, depending on the country)
    • In some cases, other dependent relatives (parents, disabled adult children)
  • Requirements for Inclusion:
    • Proof of relationship (marriage certificate, birth certificates, etc.)
    • Evidence of dependency for children over age limits
    • Health and character requirements for all family members
    • Additional processing fees per family member
  • When Family Members Can't Be Included:
    • Some programs may restrict certain types of relatives
    • Relationships formed after application submission may require separate applications
    • Adult children who are not dependent typically need separate applications

Including family members in your initial application is generally more straightforward than sponsoring them later. We'll provide guidance on the best approach for your specific family situation.

Permanent residency offers numerous advantages compared to temporary visas, though specific benefits vary by country:

  • Stability and Security:
    • Right to live indefinitely in the country without visa renewals
    • Freedom from employer sponsorship requirements
    • Protection from changing immigration policies
  • Work and Business Freedom:
    • Unrestricted work rights (any employer, position, or self-employment)
    • Ability to start and operate businesses
    • Equal employment rights and protections
  • Social Benefits:
    • Access to healthcare systems (varies by country)
    • Educational benefits including domestic tuition rates
    • Social security and retirement benefits (after qualifying periods)
  • Family Benefits:

    • Education rights for dependent children
    • Family member work rights
