in Israel they have a similar distinction

Da das eine Definition von kanadischen Ausdrücken ist, die den Status von Einwanderern in das Land beschreiben, würde ich das genauso stehen lassen wie das auf einschlägigen Websites geschieht, die Ratschläge für die Einwanderung nach Kanada geben. Der neue Ausdruck wie der alte beschreibt den Umstand, dass jemand als "Einwanderer" gilt, der diesen Status hat, und nicht nur seinen zeitweiligen Wohnsitz dort hat. Wollte man das zur Erläuterung unbedingt übersetzen, könnte man das wörtlich schon mit "Person mit permanenter Aufenthaltsgenehmigung" oder "Person mit permanentem Wohnsitz" in Kanada wiedergeben, der Ausdruck gibt aber im Deutschen nicht genau wieder, dass dieser Status jemandem eben den Status eines "Einwanderers" zuspricht.

\"residen*t*!

(wie Ivo)
anscheinend ist "landed immigrant" der alte Name fuer "permanent resident"

Landed Immigrant is a formerly official classification for a person who has been admitted to Canada......A landed immigrant is allowed to live and work in Canada without restriction, and he holds most of the same rights as any Canadian citizen, the biggest exceptions being that landed immigrants cannot vote in Canadian elections, run for elected office, hold Canadian passports, or work in certain government jobs. A landed immigrant also cannot remain outside of Canada for an indefinite period without risking the loss of his status.

Given the absence of a Canadian passport a landed immigrant is issued a permanent resident card, which is a plastified wallet-sized proof of status meant to facilitate entry back to Canada. It incorporates several state-of-the-art security features.

oops, I was going to cut all that canadian-history-stuff out. Sorry it\'s so long!

I don't know what the original means without context, but in Germany a foreigner who is considered a "permanent resident" by the state has what is called "eine unbefristete Aufenthaltsgenehmigung" or "eine Unbefristete Aufenthaltserlaubnis".

I asked my hubby to look on his and it is officially called (on the document you have) Aufenthaltserlaubnis. The German one that is, of course.

unbefristet, that is. So, the German equivalent of this is exactly and officially \"eine Unbefristete Aufenthaltserlaubnis\".

wäre mein Vorschlag.
