Canada vs Portugal

Three key differences

• Different status types: Canada grants permanent residence, Portugal grants long-term residence — usually not the same decision.
• Indicative total: Canada runs $473,375 below Portugal.
• Upper timeline: Portugal is 18 months shorter than Canada.

● Numerically favourable on that line. A number, not a recommendation — no program wins every line.
