What's the difference between permanent residence and citizenship?
永久居民和公民有什么区别？
A permanent resident is a foreigner who immigrated legally and has the right to live and work in another country only for a certain period of time, but he/she cannot obtain a passport, nor vote, and he/she can be deported under certain circumstances.
A citizen can obtain a passport, vote and live in the country forever.
永久居民是合法移民的外国人，有权在另一个国家生活和工作一段时间，但不能获得护照，也没有投票权，在某些情况下可能被驱逐出境。 公民可以获得护照，有投票权，并永远生活在这个国家。
