What is the Procedure to get Canadian PR for Indians?

Permanent residency is guaranteed by a Canada immigration visa, which also provides qualified applicants with nearly identical rights and obligations to those of Canadian citizens. After three years of residence, the PR visa can be renewed for another five years.

One of the most popular categories of visas is Canada Permanent Residency, which offers skilled workers and students visas good for five years and numerous entries.
