The MA MA card is a certificate of identity of a Canadian permanent resident and an effective identity certificate for Canadian residents to enter the country. It is equivalent to the "green card" in the United States, which is usually valid for five years (personal situation is one year).

For some reasons, some applicants forgot the expiration time of the maple leaf card and missed the opportunity to renew the maple leaf card. Does this mean that everything is abandoned, and the permanent resident status will be canceled?

The answer is not necessarily! Maple leaf card is mainly a document. Permanent residents go to Canada after traveling abroad to visit relatives or business activities. Therefore, the expiration of Maple Leaf Card is not exactly the loss of permanent residents.

This is a guide for maple leaf renewal!

Maple Leaf Card Qualification

• Applicants must have become a permanent resident of Canada. Be careful not to be Canadian Canadian citizens or indigenous peoples.

• Maple Leaf Card will expire within the next 9 months

• It has not been fired by Canada, and it can not be convicted of criminal conviction

• In five years, it has lived for 730 days, that is, two years

How to calculate "immigration supervision"?

The most important project of the updated maple leaf card is to check whether the applicant meets the living conditions, and the calculation of living conditions is to promote 5 years to meet the two -year residence when the applicant submits an application for application.

For example, the applicant officially obtained a permanent residence status in July 2013, and Maple Leaf Card expired in December 2018. The applicant lived in Canada in 2013.7-2014.1, 2017.1-12, and 2018.5-2019.2. Theoretically, it has met the living conditions for two years. But calculate again.

This is because when applying for a card in 2019.2, the living conditions will be advanced for 5 years, that is, the stay time starts from 2014.2.

How is the third obligation to be regarded as "immigration"?

1) The spouse of Canadian citizenship in Canada

2) Full -time employees who have been employed by Canadian companies and are assigned overseas

3) Together with a spouse hired by a Canadian company and stationed overseas, she lives abroad

The fourth place is overseas, what should I do?

Maple leaf cards cannot return to Canada. Therefore, applicants need to go to a nearby Canadian visa center to apply for a permanent resident travel visa, and then return to Canada to sign a maple leaf card.

Other No. 5 prevention measures

1) During the application period, immigration officials can call on the application form, or send someone directly to the address filled in the application form to verify your address or verify whether you are in Canada. Once you find that immigration officials, during your application, you are not in Canada, and your application will be terminated. Although there are few cases, the applicant may pay attention.

2) In order not to affect the use of maple leaf cards, the applicant should start updating within 9 months before the maple leaf card expires!
