The maple leaf card is valid for 5 years and needs to be replaced. The card replacement can be delivered to the table 2 months before the expiration date, and the old card must be sent back to the Immigration Department. If you need to leave Canada during the application period, you must apply for a large permanent resident travel certificate () before returning to Canada to apply for a large permanent resident.

Applicants are usually required to live in Canada for at least 730 days (that is, 2 years) within 5 years. In any 5 years, the total obligation of permanent residents in 730 days in Canada has a total of 730 days. If this obligation is not fulfilled, the permanent resident status may be lost.

There are five exceptions that can be regarded as living in the country to maintain permanent resident status:

Every day, you can calculate the daily permanent residents of Canada. This permanent resident must be your spouse, a cohabitant or parent (if you are a child under 22), the permanent resident spouse meets the above 2 in the above 2. Members holding permanent residence have been dispatched by Canadian companies as overseas or in Canada officials overseas. In this case, they go abroad with their families.

If you cannot meet the requirements of residents, you can still include the impossible humanitarian factors in the reasons for whether to maintain the permanent resident identity. (Immigration officials have great initiatives).

The above exceptions also need to provide evidence, indicating that they can establish a close connection and long -term plan with Canada and reflect the evidence of living in Canada and even the medium and long -term households in Canada.

For new immigrants (including children) who entered Canadians from June 28, 2002, the Canadian Immigration Department will automatically mail to you the maple leaf card. After January 1, 2004, all permanent immigrants must use Maple Leaf Card to enter Canada.

For some people, Canadian maple leaves have lost immigration status in a sense. However, there is no formal clause in the Canadian Immigration Law, and the maple leaf card is equivalent to losing immigration status. The "Immigration Law" only stipulates that Permanent residents in Canada must fulfill the residence obligations for living in the past two years.

However, it should be pointed out that, according to regulations, when all permanent residents must show the maple leaf card to prove their identity, when they arrive at Canada through a commercial aircraft or cruise ships.

Regardless of airlines, land or sea roads, officials of Canadian Border Services (CBSA) officials will ask for enough ID cards. Effective maple leaf cards are the best evidence.
