A permanent resident is someone who has been issued a permanent resident visa by the Canadian government and has landed in Canada, but is not a Canadian citizen.

I tried googling it "permanent resident visa", but nothing came up.

If somebody is a permanent resident, they don't need a visa.

The permanent resident visa is issued on your passport by a Canadian Embassy so that you can land in Canada and become a permanent resident. After that you do not need it, since you will get issued a Permanent Resident Card.
