A Permanent Resident is a non-citizen who has been granted the right to live and work indefinitely in a country, such as the United States, Canada, or Australia. In the U.S., this status is often referred to as having a Green Card. Permanent Residents can enjoy many of the same rights as citizens, including legal employment and access to certain benefits, but they do not have the right to vote in federal elections.
