Regardless of which country you immigrate to, there are certain residency and citizenship requirements to maintain your status. If you want to maintain your permanent residence status, you need to accumulate a certain period of time. If you want to apply for citizenship, you need to have a longer period of residence, which is also known as immigration supervision.

Residency requirements vary from country to country, so I have consolidated the residency requirements for citizenship and permanent residence of the four most popular countries for immigrants, such as the UK, US, Australia and Canada.

Immigration detention lasts for years, is there any way to get a PR status and re-enter the country to avoid the inconvenience of being detained in immigration detention for too long? Of course, there are, for example, the SUV Entrepreneurial Immigration Programme in Canada, which allows you to re-enter Canada with PR status, and the EB-3 Unskilled Worker Immigrant Programme in the US, which allows you to obtain a green card in just 12 to 18 months, and then land in the US to work.
