Hello i want to become a permanent residence in Canada not a citizen and wanted to know how easy it is to do this i know you have to live in Canada for 2 years but would i have to emancipate myself from my parents. I'm not able to do this because of medical reasons and i don't want that to stop me. I am very serious about moving. Thank you for your time

For Quebec:
See link in my sig.

At 19, Canada (and Qc) would consider you as an adult. No need for "emancipation".Whether you would meet the minimum requirements for immigration....: see links.

However, if you are considered (have been declared by a court) mentally incapacitated for some reason which means your parents still have medical poa/make decisions for you, you would need to have that court order/poa removed.

Just to be clear, living in Canada for two years does not qualify you for permanent residency (some people mistakenly believe this is the case).

You'll need at least one year of full time and paid work experience (likely in a skilled profession) to qualify to apply to immigrate. And even that most likely won't be enough. It's quite likely that it will be a few more years before you can apply and be selected. During that time, I would focus on continuing your education and gaining as much work experience as possible (either in a skilled profession or in a trade). Note that you will have to pass a medical in order to be accepted as a permanent resident of Canada. Good luck.
