The Canadian Immigration Department is about to launch a new electronic platform to promote the public application of maple leaf cards. Different from the past, the public only needs to upload professional digital photos when applying, and no documents are required. The date of the new platform is temporarily uncertain, but I believe it will not wait too long.

At present, the application of Maple Leaf Card will be processed within 70 days. The new online service is expected to accelerate the trial speed.

Note: The conditions for applying for Maple Leaf Card:

1. In the past five years, permanent residents have lived in Canada for at least two years;

2. Maple leaf card has expired or within 9 months;

3. The application must be submitted in Canada.

In addition, if you are abroad, you need to apply for a permanent resident travel certificate. After returning to Canada, you can apply for a new maple leaf card. The application fee is $ 50.
