He has (or had) permanent resident status. On a path to becoming a citizen. I think ‘foreigner’ does not accurately reflect that.

- carlosjobim 2y agoI think the word "foreigner" is perfectly correct. The difference is that as a foreigner, you have chosen to come to another country – among hundreds to choose from. As a native citizen, you haven't made any such choice and you might not be able to even if you wanted to.
