PR (permanent resident), who has lived in Canada for a long time, knows that if you want to change the maple leaf card, you need to mail the documents to the post office. It takes a lot of time to spend this time. At present, the an average time for permanent residents to replace the maple leaf card is 72 days

The average review time of the first application of Maple Leaf Card is 61 days

However, in the future, we don't have to be so troublesome!

Because the immigration department is about to start a new electronic application platform to help permanent residents apply for maple leaf cards. The immigration department will also print professional digital photos on the maple leaf card. (At present, the platform does not have a specific date to start, you need to debug. But I believe this will not be too long.)

Immigration spokesman Faith St John said the applicant must find a professional photographer to take pictures. In the first half of this year, the immigration department also contacted photographers across the country to provide them with the requirements for shooting digital maple leaves, including how photographers prove the identity of photographers.

At present, the application of Maple Leaf Card is processed within 70 days. When starting the electronic application platform, the estimated time will be shortened.
