The curiosity, excitement and desire of new immigrants are self-evident. I've experienced it myself, too. After a long wait for immigration, I finally arrived at the node of this stage, but the efficiency of the Immigration Bureau does make people love and hate.

In fact, to be honest, this so-called method of querying the progress of the maple leaf card is more mastered, hope and thought, because its progress display is too simple and basically spends most of the time in the middle. It finally became.

Therefore, the best way to survive this waiting pain is to despise it strategically and pay attention to it.

Strategic contempt means not to take it seriously, because the true proof of your identity is the signature immigration documents you get, and the Maple Leaf Card is just a "access card" to enter and leave Canada.

If you are logged in for a long time, you will not leave Canada in the short term without a maple leaf card, it will not affect your various programs and daily life. If you have a few weeks of short login time, you will usually have one in the fastest time unless you are full of luck. It's been about a few months, so it's best to prepare in advance to arrange for your friends to bring it back to China after receiving it.

At the same time, we should not be interfered with by information from others in the immigration team. After all, everyone’s situation, application and processing time, and even the immigration officer who handles your case are different. You can use it as a reference, but don't be too serious. Otherwise, you will be anxious, unable to figure out, or even complain about why you log in with others at the same time, even earlier than others, and why are you much slower than others?

Tactical attention means not to ignore the truth. You can check it regularly, for example every half month or monthly. The main purpose is to check whether any important information is missing, such as photos not eligible and ask you to provide the photos again. If you find that the waiting time is indeed long and longer than the formal average processing cycle and there is no news, you can try to communicate with the Immigration Bureau.

Once we understand this, we can learn to gradually adjust our mindset. Let's talk about the specific query methods you refer to, which are mainly divided into three steps.

The first step is to create and log in to your own GCKEY account.

For more information on how to create it, see "How to register your GCKEY and MYCIC Account online".

The second step is to update the submitted application to your MyCIC account.

Click the link to apply your account to your account.

After entering the relevant page, select the card (permanent residence card) under the Application Category drop-down. After selection, the system will automatically fill in the application identification information that needs to be filled in. There are four ways to identify. After selecting one of them, the identification information that needs to be filled in under the corresponding method will appear red after it, and other information will be grayed out.

Usually, you have the option to use UCI numbers for identification. If you really don't remember, you can also use the date of birth. This method is indeed very simple.

After filling in the application identification information, you also need to fill in some required auxiliary information, including the applicant's birth, country of birth, date of first login (i.e. the date when the immigration official stamps next to the immigration visa when he first enters), nationality , current marital status. After filling in all, click Search to apply for mine.

When the system searches for a maple leaf card application that matches the information you filled in, click the link again to apply the link to complete the connection.

The third step is to check the progress of the application regularly.

Once the connection is complete, return to the home page, and you can check the progress of the application through your MyCIC account.

Click Check Complete to view the full application status.

If there is new status change information, please view it in the information bar at the bottom of the full application status page. Changes to the status or progress of the application will usually send an email to your registered email address, but sometimes it may not be received for a variety of unknown reasons. Therefore, we can also log in to check regularly.

After the final approval is completed, you can view relevant information about the maple leaf card, including the approximate mailing time, the validity period of the maple leaf card, the approval completion date, etc. The system cannot be found for specific email information. The official gives the longest mailing time (such as 6 weeks here), but usually you can receive it within a few days of your application approval.

The application of Maple Leaf Card is actually based on everyone. Although we rely on the address of the main applicant when we fill out the maple leaf card address, we add each agent applicant one by one. Finally, when we receive the maple leaf card, there is one for each family member too. Separate envelope.

Therefore, each family member's respective progress also requires each person to create their own GCKEY account, then link their own maple leaf card application separately, and then query their own progress separately. Everyone’s progress may vary, that is, it’s normal if some people in the family receive it first and some will receive it later.

OK, after seeing this, you should be clear about how to check the progress of the maple leaf card. Of course, more importantly, I hope everyone can adjust their mindset and enjoy a wonderful life after immigrating!
