  • Sponsored permanent residents may face restrictions on accessing certain government services if not reimbursed by the sponsor.
  • Permanent residents have different travel requirements and documents compared to citizens.
  • Conditions of permanent residence include meeting the 730-day residency requirement within five years.
  • The PR status does not expire at the same time as the PR card.
