Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada allows you to live, work, and study indefinitely, but you cannot vote, run for office, or hold a Canadian passport. Citizenship, granted after meeting residency and other criteria, gives you full rights, including voting, political participation, and a Canadian passport.
