Recently, it is reported that the Canadian Federal Government Maple Leaf Card (Card) update needs to wait longer. At least 10,000 permanent residents are affected, and some people even wait for two years to successfully update the maple leaf card. Many applicants have entered the second round of censorship. Relevant lawyers believe that the law should now be amended to make the residents of Maple Card entering the country smoothly.

On Tuesday, the Vancouver Sun reported that Edris and his family from Sri Lanka and his family obtained permanent resident qualifications through investment immigrants in 2009. Explanation is to take care of her parents and family. But after applying for the update of the maple leaf card, she still did not get a response. Edris also said that because there is no maple leaf card, she will encounter problems when applying for a bank account or flying in Canada.

Relevant lawyers said he believed that most permanent residents who encountered this stage were from China. Because Chinese immigrants are unwilling to abandon Chinese nationality, they are forced to become "astronauts" and fail to meet the residence time of Maple Leaf Card. When they update the maple leaf card and return to Canada, the move will encounter trouble.

The lawyer also said that in fact, in the same case, some permanent immigrants can use free visa visas to enter Hong Kong and Taiwan passports to enter the country. However, if permanent residents come from China, they will encounter trouble. Because if the application of travel documents is successful, the immigration department needs to retain the applicant's permanent resident status; if the travel file is rejected by the Immigration Department, it is believed that the applicant has lost the permanent resident identity.

The lawyer suggested that he believes that the immigration department should revise relevant laws and allow permanent residents to allow permanent residents to take the maple leaf card and enter Canada by plane in addition to entering the country. In addition, other methods should be found to reduce the backlog of maple leaf card updates.

According to the official website of the Canadian Immigration Department, the maple leaf card update is only 82 days. In fact, many permanent residents wait longer.
