Australia PR and Australian citizenship are two different entitlements that an individual can receive based on his preference. An individual can hold an Australian PR and reside there for five years. Later, based on his eligibility, the individual can apply for Australian citizenship.

 

Australia PR offers many options for applying for a PR visa. An Australia PR visa allows an eligible candidate to become a permanent resident in Australia.
