Canadian Citizenship and Permanent Residency entail some differences that impact on the rights and duties. The rights are given to Permanent Residents; for example, they can access healthcare and education; on the other hand, Permanent Residents cannot vote or hold top government positions, and they risk deportation when certain conditions are met. Canadian Citizens on the other hand enjoy full rights such as voting, running for office, and holding top government jobs, and they are less vulnerable to deportation. Citizens can travel using a Canadian passport with wider accessibility to the government’s benefits. Permanent Residency is often chosen for those people who want to keep their original citizenship or are not yet ready to meet all the requirements for the issuance of citizenship
