what is the difference between landed immigrant and permanent resident
Permanent residency in Canada The term "landed immigrant" (French: immigrant reÃ§u) is an old classification for a person who has been admitted to Canada as a non-Canadian citizen permanent resident. The current official classification for such a person is simply "permanent resident". The term "Landed immigrant" has been in use for so long that it is still (15 years later) part of the Canadian vocabulary and still appears in some government publications and forms.
