Perhaps most surprisingly, either by design or implication, the government has introduced a two-tier Permanent Residence system, in which a number of individuals, including children, will be adversely affected. The recent Amendment Act introduces new transitional provisions under what is to become Section 83A of the Caymanian Protection Act, designed to address the status of permanent residents (PRs) under the revised immigration framework. The Transitional Provisions protect a limited group of permanent residents. A close review indicates that they may inadvertently exclude several longstanding categories of lawful permanent residents, which will mean that they are not protected (“Tier 2”). What is not clear is why the government has decided to include some groups of permanent residents and not include other permanent residents, hence what appears to be a two-tier system.
