Maple leaf cards are different from Canada. Obtaining Maple Leaf Card does not mean that it is a Canadian citizen.

The specific differences are as follows:

First, the meaning of the two is different. Maple Leaf Card is a certificate issued by the Canadian government to Canada with permanent residence. The nationality is still the nationality of the mother country. Canadian nationality refers to joining the Canadian nationality, voluntarily abandoning his mother's nationality, and becoming a Canadian passport.

Secondly, the right to enjoy is different. Maple leaf cards can enjoy most equal treatment of Canadian citizens, such as social welfare and medical security, but they do not enjoy special treatment, such as election rights.

Third, maintain different ways of identity. Canadian citizens live overseas and will not lose their status throughout their lives. Maple leaf cards should not live overseas for too long, usually not more than a year or two, otherwise they may lose their permanent residence status.
