Dear with so many Ks....PR stands for PERMANENT RESIDENCY. Once acquired, u can live and work in Canada in any part of it. Citizenship is the next stage..meaning CANADIAN PASSPORT. With Permanent residency, one is recognized as an Immigrant and with Citizenship, becomes Citizen of Canada / Canadian. While being in Canada only, u can not vote unless citizen. Except that right, rest remains same.

PR remains valid for 5 years from the date of landing. For renewal, u need to be personally residing in Canada for atleast two (2) years out of five years to become eligible for renewal of residency for next five years. For citizenship, 1095 days should be spent (out of five years of PR) to apply for Canadian passport. It is not necessary to spend 1095 days but after every five years, u will be appying for renewal of PR with applicable conditions.

For complete insight, visit CIC website
cheers

Right, at long as you live in Canada for at least 730 days every 5 years and don't commit any crimes, your PR status is valid forever although the PR card proving your PR status is only valid for 5 years. The PR card is easy to renew as long as the residency requirements are met. As a PR, you have almost all the same rights as a Canadian. You can not vote and there are certain government jobs that are off limits to you.
