What is the PR? What are its advantages?

Hi, When you go out of India and study / work in another country. You go on, either student visa or on work permit. But, if you want to settle down in that country you need PR (citizenship), so that you can enjoy the privileges of being a citizen of that country. You get benefits of voting, pay local fees for school colleges for your children, medical facilities given by government etc. Permanent residency refers to a person's visa status. The person is allowed to reside indefinitely within a country of which he or she is not a citizen. A person with such status is known as a permanent resident. Permanent residency itself should be distinguished to right of abode, which waives the immigration control for such persons. Persons having permanent residency still requires immigration control if such persons do not hold a right of abode. However, a right of abode automatically grants persons a permanent residency. This status also gives permission to work in most cases.
