Benefits of Being a Permanent Resident after the immigration in Canada

 All of the advantages and obligations accessible to permanent residents after their immigration in Canada are listed below.

Where Can You Live?

A permanent resident and their dependents are free to live, work, and study in any of Canada's 10 provinces or three territories.

Education:

Permanent residents are entitled to free education in the Canadian public school system until they reach the age of 18.

When it comes to universities, tuition expenses for permanent residents are far lower than those for overseas students. For example, McGill University has tuition costs of $2,544 for Quebec residents, $7,940 for other Canadians, and $18,110-$48,747 for international students, depending on the degree of study.

Medical Assistance:

Permanent residents are covered under the province's universal health care plan.

While Medicare is administered by federal law, each province and territory has its public health plan, and some have a Medicare waiting time for new residents. Even in an emergency, if a waiting time applies, the new resident is responsible for the entire cost of medical services, including hospital expenses.

The provinces that require and do not require a waiting time are subject to change:

Six provinces now provide "immediate" Medicare coverage to newly arrived permanent residents. In order of west to east, Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador are among them. In some jurisdictions, the effective date of coverage is made retroactive to the day the new resident arrives to establish residence in the province or territory after enrolling for a health card with the required papers.

A Medicare waiting period is enforced on newly arriving citizens in four provinces (British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec) and territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut). Even new residents who are Canadian citizens are subject to the waiting period in some jurisdictions.

Tax:

You must pay taxes at the federal, provincial, and local levels. Income tax is levied based on where you live rather than your citizenship. After becoming a permanent resident after immigration in Canada, an individual's international income would be subject to Canadian taxation. A freshly arrived immigrant's assets are not taxed under Canadian law.

How to Become a Canadian Citizen?

Candidates must have three years of qualifying permanent resident status during the preceding five years to be eligible for citizenship by naturalization under current legislation.

Applicants must additionally meet the following requirements:
