Hello,
I am planning to move to Winnipeg from the UK with my Canadian partner (Common Law Spouse) on a Family Class Visa. I am unclear about one essential detail:
Is the Family Class Visa the same thing as permanent residency? Or is permanent residency something that I apply for when I arrive? Is Permanent Residency something which I receive after a probationary period on the visa? Or is that citizenship?
Basically, I need to know how I exactly I get permanent residency. Is it something I receive before or after I arrive in Canada? And is there a time scale attached to it?
Thanks in advance for any help you can supply.
