Permanent residency has been increasingly easy to get in the past few years, and can be had in significantly less time than citizenship.

One year of residency is enough if you’re young enough and make enough money. Three years if you just miss those standards, or if you’re married (I think).

> if you're young enough and make enough money

I'm a little facetious about this because I find it a little galling that the solution is "but if you're rich, it's okay". Yep, everything is much smoother when you have money. I'd sure enjoy it more haha.

But yes, it is becoming much easier over time compared to the old system.
