Recently, the Canadian media "Toronto Star" broke out. The Immigration Commission composed of more than 500 immigration lawyers submitted the latest immigration policy reform plan to the Canadian Immigration Department.

One of them is directly related to the interests of millions of permanent residents in Canada!

The plan is: Canada should amend the "Immigration and Refugee Protection Law", allowing Canadian permanent residents to apply or renew the maple leaf card outside Canada!

If this reform proposal is adopted, it means that all permanent residents in Canada, including Chinese immigrants, do not have to worry about the maple leaf card that will be updated every 5 years in the future. Instead, they can enter and exit the Canadian border at any time. China is directly suitable for maple leaf cards to update it without tolerated various uncertainty.

According to reports, after the Canadian immigration lawyer handles a large number of cases, after the Canadian immigration system was promulgated in 2001, many places did not maintain synchronization with the times, could not resolve time, and could not be resolved. The problem of increasingly complicated immigration in system design. As a result, Canadian immigrants face many incredible but helpless issues.

The biggest pain point is that Canadian permanent residents must update the maple leaf card once within 5 years, and the average maple leaf card will take 65 days. If an accident occurs, it will be dragged to more than 100 days or even longer.

During this period, permanent residents did not dare to enter and exit the Canadian border, because the old card had not yet arrived, which was a big trouble when returning to Canada.

Canadian immigration lawyers believe that permanent residents should enjoy "the right to live in Canada", but the update system of Maple Leaf Card limits their freedom. Although every five years, if you encounter the main problems, such as the death of your loved ones, the permanent permanent resident is a very painful choice.

"At present, many explanations and application methods have a significant impact on people's lives. Considering the complexity of the immigration law, many people's lives may be unexpectedly destroyed. "

According to reports, the population of Canada is rapidly changing society and economic priority. It's time to carefully review the Canadian immigration law to abolish those outdated, limited use and continuous discrimination clauses; modify some terms to solve the inconsistency of laws in the law. nature

The principle of modification is: within possible scope, immigration regulations should avoid unnecessary trouble for people's lives. The biggest question is whether the Canadian permanent residents should be allowed to obtain a maple leaf card and renewed the maple leaf card outside Canada.

Immigration lawyer Hane said the current legal interpretation is that applicants must apply or renew the permanent resident card in Canada, and the actual role of the card is equal to the "permanent resident visa." Considering the legal status of permanent residents, the Canadian government should actually have many solutions, such as allowing maple leaf cards or updating maple leaf cards around the world. nature

Data show that at present, the average trial time for new immigrants to get the first permanent resident card is 79 days, and the trial time for updating or replacing the maple leaf card is 68 days. During this period, emergency or delay may occur, causing someone to leave Canada without a valid maple leaf card.

When encountering a maple leaf card but returning to Canada, all parties must apply for a travel certificate to return, but this cannot guarantee that they can enter smoothly.

Immigration lawyer Hane believes that people should be able to obtain permanent resident cards from overseas as a passport because this is a travel proof.

In addition to permanent residents, temporary Canadian residents are also facing the same dilemma. They need to be updated after maturity, but if they leave Canada during the renewal period, they will fail.

This is actually caused by the loopholes of the immigration law, and its principle is similar to the problems encountered by permanent residents.

According to the above reasons, the report recommends that the Canadian Immigration Department amend the law and allow applicants to leave and retain their identities so that they will not be trapped here for a few months because they are waiting for the pass of the new visa.

The report also recommends that those who lose legal identity due to inadvertent errors (such as missed deadlines) are allowed to maintain their identity during the recovery application processing process.

In addition to the above problems, the report also pointed out that the current law stipulates that if the health status of foreigners is expected to lead to excessive demand for medical or social services, it can be prohibited from entering the country due to health. In 2018, the then immigration minister Ahmed promised to abolish these regulations in response to the suggestions reported by the parliament. But this promise has not yet been fulfilled.

The report also suggested that the Canadian Immigration Department set up an immigration application director. The reason is that the application of Canada has a serious backlog of application. Many applicants must seek help from members and courts, or ask immigrant officials to ask immigrant officials, but immigration officials usually have no effective response to their applications.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a public supervisor that can improve the immigration system and reduce the workload of the presidential office and the federal court.

Other suggestions also include: cancel the five -year entry ban on any false applicant; stipulate that the Immigration Bureau must be completed within 30 days after application integrity inspection; given the advancement of video technology, for some applications (such as spouse immigration application) The spouse party will not exist in person.

In fact, if these reforms are proposed by an institution without weight, we will complete it as a view, but according to the report of the Star of Toronto, the report will be submitted to the Canadian federal government for review. Once amended, the "Immigration and Refugee Protection Law, which means that in the near future, Permanent residents of Canada can apply for an updated maple leaf card in anywhere in China.

This is definitely good news for millions of Chinese immigrants.
