Residency
When you become a permanent resident of Canada, you do have certain obligations to meet in order to keep your status. You need to be aware of the rules as you could lose your permanent residence status or you could be forced to remain outside of Canada as a permanent resident without the option to return to Canada. To become a PR of Canada is a great privilege but your residency renewal comes with rules and regulations to respect.
