Canadian Immigration Laws: Permanent Residence Status

Obtaining “permanent resident status of Canada” is also known as “Immigration to Canada” or becoming a “landed immigrant of Canada”. After emigrating from United Arab Emirates, a successful Canada Immigration Application will be issued a Canada immigrant visa, which presents permanent status upon the applicant who, as a permanent resident, will receive all the same rights and privileges as those of a Canadian citizen (i.e. free health care, free elementary and secondary education, subsidized post-secondary education, the right to work in Canada) with just a few exceptions.

Unlike Canadian citizens,

  1. a permanent resident cannot vote;
  2. a permanent resident cannot hold a Canadian passport; and
  3. a permanent resident can be deported for certain criminal convictions.

Once a Canadian immigrant visa has been issued, one must present themselves to a Canada Immigration officer at one of the official ports of entry of Canada in order to complete their permanent resident status.

When to Apply for Canadian Citizenship After Emigrating From United Arab Emirates

After you have emigrated from United Arab Emirates and have resided in Canada for at least a total of 1095 days within any consecutive four (4) year period of time after receiving Canadian Permanent Residence, you are eligible to apply for Canadian Citizenship. Once a Canadian Citizenship is obtained, you may apply for a Canadian Passport.

In accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of Canada, a permanent resident must reside in Canada for a total of at least 730 days within the five (5) years prior to the date of expiration on his/her Permanent Resident Card in order to renew the Permanent Resident Card, subject to certain exceptions.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we manage your personal information and safeguard your privacy.
Abrams & Krochak is responsible for the personal information we collect, use, maintain and disclose. To ensure this accountability, we have developed this policy, and trained our lawyers and support staff about our policies and practices.
What is “Personal Information?” Personal information is any information that identifies you, or by which your identity could be deduced. It does not include the name or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.

In determining how we obtain your consent, we will take into account the sensitivity of the personal information about you that we are collecting, using and/or disclosing.
Use of Your Information When we use your personal information to provide legal advice and services to you, including for billing purposes and when we use your personal information to include you in any direct marketing activities, we will assume that you have consented to such use unless you specifically advise otherwise.

  • where it is necessary to establish or collect fees;
  • if we engage a third party to provide administrative services to us (like computer back-up services or archival file storage) and the third party is bound by our privacy policy; or
  • if the information is already publicly known.
Updating Your Information

  • denial of access is required or authorized by law (for example, when a record containing personal information about you is subject to a claim of legal professional privilege by one of our clients);
  • information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings against you;
  • when granting you access would have an unreasonable impact on other people’s privacy;
  • when to do so would prejudice negotiations with you;
