What is a Canada PR visa?
For people who travel from another country and want to settle in Canada, they obtain a public relations visa in Canada if they are qualified and approved as well. The Canadian government grants these individuals permanent resident status, which should not definitively be confused with citizenship. Due to the temporary nature of their residency, students and those with temporary employment are never eligible for this category.

What are the advantages of an immigrant visa to Canada from Saudi Arabia?
In the event that you want to obtain Canadian citizenship, you should know that obtaining a PR visa can help you as it allows you to apply for it as soon as exactly three years after your arrival in Canada. As for benefits, your whole family will get free health care, and your children will also receive free education until they reach the age of 18. You can invite family members, such as your parents or your spouse if you wish, by sponsoring them through the Family Sponsorship Program.
