I’m finally sharing with you my journey to permanent residency here in Canada. I came to Canada as temporary resident (tourist) at first, then submitted my application for PR. We hired a lawyer to help us out with the process from the very beginning. It is not necessary that you hire a lawyer when you apply, but if you need assistance like us and you have the budget for it, I recommend that you hire one.
