Three years. But you must then live in Canada for the next two years without leaving for even one day.

You must live in Canada two out of every five rolling years to keep you PR status.

You need to land in Canada to apply for your PR card mate. it will take approx. 52 working days to get your PR Card.

Dear mythestic

as i will be the new immigrant and as per my understanding, since June 2002, all new permanent residents automatically receive their first PR Card as part of the immigration process.

could you please tell me how it will work and how much time will be required for this PR card if i suppose to be receive automatically.

thanks in advance.

PR card will be applied automatically at arrivals on the immigration counter you will have to fill a form.
After 52 working days you will get the card at the Canadian address you have provided in the form, but anyone on that address can receive it
