PR questions

[ganesankalyanasundaram]

Hi AnilS/Inders99,

   I have a few questions regarding Canadian PR. can you please clarify..
   for how long is a permanent residence provided for? i heard that when you hold a PR you have to be in canada for 180 days a year for your PR to be valid? is this correct? normally how many years after your receiving your PR do you apply for a citizenship? how easy is to get one? Can you please also provide some info regarding the TN visa? is it only for canadian citizens or for PRs also? in what way is it different than a h1b? etc.,

   I know that the questions above are one too many... sorry about that .. would be really glad if you could take the time to answer...Thanks a lot for the remarkable job you guys are doing on this thread....

FOR EVER IF YOU DO NOT LOOSE IT
 i heard that when you hold a PR you have to be in canada for 180 days a year for your PR to be valid? is this correct?
YES IT IS CORRECT 183 DAYS NOT 180
 normally how many years after your receiving your PR do you apply for a citizenship?
YOU SHOULD COMPLEATE 3 years
 how easy is to get one?
IT DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS,EDUCATION,EXPERIENCE,YOUR INTENDED JOB IN CANADA, YOUR AGE, ENGLISH SPEAKING/WRITING ABILITY ANY MANY OTHER FACTORS, cant write in few lines.
Can you please also provide some info regarding the TN visa? is it only for canadian citizens or for PRs also? in what way is it different than a h1b? etc.,
TN VISA IS FOR CANADIAN CITIZENS NOT FOR PR
