Maple leaf card is not a Canadian nationality, and Canadian citizens are Canadian citizenship. Maple leaf card means that you have gained a permanent residence in Canada, saying that you have become immigrants, you are still Chinese, holding Chinese passports, and Chinese nationality.

If you only have maple leaf cards, then you are Chinese living in Canada. You have no right to vote or be elected. I think this is a common sense. Only when you really become a Canadian citizen can you have the right to vote and be elected. Having Maple Leaf Card represents your right to live in Canada, so you can live in this country, but this does not mean that you can go to all Canadian visa countries.

The validity period of the Canadian Maple Leaf Card starts five years from the date of the spontaneous card. However, in some exceptions, if the identity of a permanent resident is ultimately determined by the final judgment due to failure to perform their residence obligations abroad, the applicant can apply for a one -year maple leaf card. The application of Maple Leaf Card must be proposed in the country. Applicants must provide guarantors living in Canada. The guarantor must be a Canadian citizen and has known the applicant for more than two years.
