A temporary resident is a foreign national who is legally authorized to enter Canada for a defined period.
A foreign national has temporary resident status when they legally enter and/or remain in Canada as a visitor, student, worker or temporary resident permit holder.
A permanent resident or landed immigrant, also known as PR, is a person who has legally immigrated to Canada but is not yet a Canadian citizen.
There are various ways to obtain permanent residence in Canada under the economic or non-economic class.
If you plan to travel to Canada, you need a valid visitor visa OR a valid Electronic Travel
Authorization (eTA).
The one you need depends on:
• the type of travel document you will travel with.
• the country that issued your travel document.
• your nationality; and
• how you will travel to Canada.
Most people need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada – not both.
Some people may only need their valid passport. To find out which one is right for you, visit:

Most visitors can stay for up to 6 months in Canada. If you are allowed to enter Canada, the border
service officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months. If so, they will put the date
you need to leave by in your passport. They might also give you a document. If you don’t get a
stamp in your passport, you can stay for 6 months from the day you entered Canada or until your
passport expires, whichever comes first.
Canadian permanent residents and their dependents are entitled:
• To receive all social benefits that Canadian citizens are entitled to.
• To permanently live, work and study in any province or territory without worrying about maintaining legal status in Canada.
• To eventually apply for Canadian citizenship
• To protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) opens once a year. It lets citizens and permanent residents of Canada sponsor their parents and grandparents to come and stay in Canada permanently.
First, you will have to submit an online interest to sponsor form. After that, IRCC will randomly select an invite potential sponsors to apply. If you are selected, you will then must submit a complete application package by the deadline stated in your invitation.
Why Consult An Immigration Lawyer?
The Canadian Bar Association lists the many benefits of consulting with an immigration lawyer as part of a successful immigration process. We understand that dealing with your own immigration matters can be exciting, yet stressful and confusing. That is where we step in.
Shawar Law is a law firm which primarily deals in all types of immigration matters. So, whether you are looking to immigrate to Canada or want assistance while dealing with immigrational affairs in Canada, reach out to us.
We can help! It is imperative to note that an immigration consultant is different from an immigration lawyer. While both would be able to represent you while dealing with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, immigration lawyers respect and guarantee client confidentiality, have specialized training and education, and are regulated by the law society to ensure competent, professional and ethical behaviour. Apart from the fact that a consultant would typically undergo less schooling than a lawyer, the main difference between the two is that only a lawyer can represent the matter in federal court if your application is rejected and you wish to appeal the decision. Consultants cannot represent you in court.
They are permitted to represent you but still do not have the same level of experience or expertise as lawyers and often fail to acquire clients’ desired results. At Shawar Law, we have the qualifications, knowledge, and experience to assist you as we have successfully helped thousands of clients who faced difficult circumstances with immigration in our 15-plus-year history!
