Do you even know what "permanent residency" means? They don't have to be 'anything' in this country and they can do what they want with any privilege of a Canadian citizen short of voting. Big deal.
My best friend is going out with a person from the Netherlands who went to several universities in Canada, top grades but taking Canadian jobs because they are.....permanent residences who could care less about this country. They get all the privileges that I would get except...they can't vote...big fucking whoop. Feels great to be a Canadian sometimes eh?
...and your point??

If they leave the country for more than 1 year they also lose that status.
wrong
you need to be in Canada 2 or 3 out of 5 years... I gotta look it up exactly, but one year is not correct.
Yeah, I am wrong on that one..
A permanent resident must live in Canada for two years out of every five or risk losing that status.
Regardless, it's just like holding a green card in the United States, you can't vote, but you have the rights as a citizen.
In Canada, I am not sure you can join the military unless you're a citizen. Maybe some military buff and enlighten us on that one.
