Did you know that Canada has something similar to the US Green Card? With a Canadian Permanent Resident Card, a person can live and work in Canada for as long as they want as a permanent resident.
The "Green Card" of Canada.
People often call the United States Permanent Resident Card, or "Green Card," by that name. This card lets a person legally come, live, and work in the US as a permanent resident. The Canadian Permanent Resident Card is Canada's version of the "Green Card." The Canadian Permanent Resident (PR) Card lets people come and live in Canada, just like the US Green Card does.
To be able to get a PR card, you have to apply for permanent residency in Canada. Canada is the only country in North America that takes in more newcomers per person than any other country.

The American Green Card vs. the Canadian Permanent Resident Card
The Canadian PR Card and the American Green Card are both given to people who were born outside of the country but have moved there and are not yet citizens.
The rights that come with the Canadian PR card and the American Green Card are one of the main ways in which they are different.
Permanent residents of Canada can get a PR card, which is a form of identification and a travel document. Permanent residents of Canada don't have to carry around their PR card, and the card doesn't give them any rights by itself. If you leave Canada and want to come back, you only need a PR card to get back in.
In the U.S., on the other hand, people over 18 who have a Green Card are required by law to always carry it with them. The U.S. government can stop Green Card users at any time and ask to see proof of their status.
Advantages of being a permanent resident
Having permanent resident status in Canada can be very helpful in many ways. Permanent residents have the right to live and work anywhere in Canada, according to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Permanent residents of Canada are free to move around the country and look for work in any state.
If a person has permanent residency, they can also support their family members who are already in Canada. This can be a great way to bring a spouse or child who lives in another country with you. If a person gives birth in Canada, the child will become a citizen of Canada. Permanent residents can also use Canada's free health care.
Permanent residents of Canada have many of the same rights as citizens, and they can apply for citizenship after just three years of living in Canada.
Keeping a permanent place to live
Permanent residents can leave and come back to Canada whenever they want. But it's important to remember that permanent residents must live in Canada for at least 730 days every 5 years to keep their PR status. These 730 days don't have to be in a row. They can be spread out over the 5 years.
Permanent residents have to stay in Canada for a certain amount of time. If they don't, their permanent residency could be taken away. Permanent residents must show their permanent residency card to the visa officer when they want to go back to Canada.
