Thanks computergeek! You're right..Though I havent had a chance to exercise my new set of rights as a PR, I probably could feel the change unconsciously at that moment after i signed the paper . It definitely was a great relief as well!computergeek said:Your legal status in Canada has changed. Once you are a PR you have most of the rights of citizens, like the right to enter Canada (which for PRs is a right as a matter of law, while for Citizens it is a right guaranteed by the Charter). You have the right to live and work anywhere in Canada. You can't vote, though, and there are some jobs which are restricted to citizens.
Congratulations!
Cheers,
