WHAT IS PERMANENT RESIDENCY?
​
Permanent residency in Surrey, Canada, means holding permanent resident (PR) status while living in Surrey, British Columbia. As a permanent resident, you can live, work, and study anywhere in Canada, including Surrey. PR status allows individuals to access healthcare, social services, and other benefits, but permanent residents are not considered Canadian citizens.
​
To obtain PR, you must meet the eligibility requirements through programs like Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), humanitarian and compassionate grounds or Family Sponsorship. After maintaining PR status for a few years, you may become eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.
