A permanent resident is someone who has been given permanent resident status by immigrating to Canada, but is not a Canadian citizen. Permanent residents are citizens of other countries.
If you travel outside Canada, the permanent resident card is your proof that you are a permanent resident of Canada. If you leave Canada, you will need this card to re-enter the country on a commercial vehicle, like an airplane, boat, train or bus.
If your permanent resident card expires, it does not mean you have lost permanent resident status.
What you can do
As a permanent resident, you have the right to:
•get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, including health care coverage,
•live, work or study anywhere in Canada,
•apply for Canadian citizenship,
•protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
You must pay taxes and respect all Canadian laws at the federal, provincial and municipal levels.
What you cannto do
You are not allowed to:
•vote or run for political office,
•hold some jobs that need a high-level security clearance.
When you are a permanent resident, you can live outside of Canada, but must live in Canada for at least two years in a five-year period. If you live outside of Canada for longer, you may lose your permanent resident status.
. my last pc was issued on sept 2013. and submitted with the app, which reached cic on may 12th. 2014. however, they rejected my app and kept all of the docs. anyway, that pc is over one year old so, it is not valid anymore, anyway. i'm expecting my per late january, but thinking to apply for a new usa pc these days, to be a pessimist on a safer side, as you said.
