1. Maple leaf card and login paper (INM 1000 or INM 5292) are two main identity certificates of Canadian permanent residents. When the Canadian permanent residents travel abroad in Canada, when they bring commercial transportation (such as ships, trains, airplanes, buses and rental) to Canada, they must show the "maple leaf card" to Canadian customs personnel to enter the country.

2. All data (including time in Canada) contains the identity of permanent residents. Only authorized officials can read these data. Therefore, it has the effect of protecting the privacy of cardholders.

3. Each maple leaf card is valid for 5 years. After five years, a new maple leaf card must be updated;

4. The condition for changing the Maple Leaf Card is "I have lived for two years within five years (accumulated 730 days)." "At the same time, a new maple leaf card must be submitted in Canada (that is, to return to Canada to submit an application. For Canadian applications, the Canadian Immigration Department will not accept it)

(2) Full -time employees stationed by Canadian companies overseas, or official full -time public officials stationed overseas;

(3) Canadian companies have dispatched family members with permanent residence as full -time employees overseas, or they are stationed overseas as official Canadian public officials. In this case, they go abroad with their families.

Finally, let's talk about the common misunderstanding of Maple Leaf Card

1. The maple leaf card has expired and does not apply for update. It is considered to be a cardholder to automatically give up permanent resident identity.

As a guarantee for permanent resident status, even if it expires, it does not mean losing the identity of permanent residents.

However, it should be pointed out that according to regulations, in the port of Canada, new immigrants need to provide an address to receive the maple leaf card, which is to prove the nature of its identity

2. Before the maple leaf card expires, a new card application has been submitted. Is it illegal?

This is not illegal, you can even choose not to renew the new card. However, if permanent residents plan to go abroad and return to Canada, the most proposed method for the immigration department is still applying for maple leaf cards to prove its permanent resident status at any time.

3. After the maple leaf card expires and does not apply for a new card, you will be unable to leave or enter Canada.

You can still go abroad, but before you return to the country, you must apply to the Canadian Visa Office for "permanent resident travel documents" () () to return to Canada.
