Status as a Worker with permanent residency

[marlaANDmateh]

Hi again everyone

 OK i have another question about Permanent Residency via spousal sponsorship in canada.

 Say everything works out and i get my permanent residency , which i should do hehe , does anyone know what happens with regards to work from then on?

 Do i have to also apply for work permits even though im a permanent resident?

 Or does PR mean that i can work without a permit ?

 Or even worse case scenario can i work at all for the first three years of PR ?

 Thanks in anticipation for your response and also thanks to Thaiguy fro your last reply regarding the passport question

 Regards

 Mateh

When you have permanent residence, you can do pretty much everything (work, go to school, run a business, etc.) except vote or obtain a security clearance.  No further permits are required.

Oops .. let me clarify.

If you run a business, of course you'll need a business license, etc.  But the PR card does let you work.
