If you want to immigrate to Canada and get permanent residency you will need to not only meet the requirements of your chosen immigration programs but also be considered eligible to enter or be admissible to Canada. This usually requires having a clear criminal record, being in good health, having enough funds to support yourself and your family, and being able to settle in Canada with ease.
If you wish to travel abroad, you must take your Permanent Resident Card with you. You can use it to provide proof that you are a Canadian permanent resident and it can be used to re-enter Canada’s borders. If you have lost your Permanent Resident Card, you will need a document called a Permanent Resident Travel Document to return back to Canada. This document can only be used once to enter Canada.
This, firstly depends on the immigration program you've chosen, for example, processing times for Express Entry ranges from 6 to 8 months whereas other programs such as Family sponsorship can take up to a year. It also depends on whether Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have all the necessary documents required to complete the application process. On average, it takes about 45 days to process PR cards for new applicants once IRCC has received everything that they need to process the application
Yes, you can as long as your status remains legal. Those with temporary residence status are permitted to stay in Canada fr a specified time only. This needs to remain valid while you are waiting for your Canada PR status to be approved.
No. You can enter Canada without an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or visitor's visa. It is, however, recommended that you always carry your PR card with you when traveling.
