Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about permanent residency — for anything else, our team is happy to walk you through it directly.
Are the same requirements used for every PR pathway?
No. Requirements vary by country and pathway. We use your profile to identify the relevant starting checklist and next steps.
What's the difference between this and the Immigration service?
Our Immigration service covers broader points-based pathways; Permanent Residency focuses on programs that grant PR status more directly. Your consultant can advise which fits your case.
Does permanent residency lead to citizenship?
In many countries, PR holders become eligible to apply for citizenship after a qualifying period — see our Citizenship page for that separate process.
Can I include my family in a PR application?
Most programs allow a spouse and dependent children to be included. We'll confirm the specifics for your chosen program.
Is PR approval guaranteed if I meet the basic criteria?
No. Meeting the stated criteria is necessary but not automatically sufficient — the final decision rests solely with the destination's immigration authority.
How long does a permanent residency application take?
Timelines vary widely by country, program and individual case, so we don't quote a fixed processing time. Your consultant will give you a realistic estimate.
Do I need to already be living in the country to apply?
It depends on the route — some require prior legal residency, others allow applications from abroad. We'll confirm what your chosen program needs.
