After the Canadian Maple Leaf Card expires, if you apply to waive your immigration status, you can apply for a tourist visa in Canada. If you did not give up your immigration status before and now, you will need to return to Canada to replace your new maple leaf card, and you will need to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)).

If you want to apply for another visa to enter Canada after the Maple Leaf Card expires, you will need to follow the following procedures:

1. The Maple Leaf Card has expired for many years and wants to give up its identity and enter Canada under the name of travel:

If you are an immigrant or permanent resident who is logged in but thinks you have lost your identity, please refer to this section:

1. You will still be considered a permanent resident until the visa officer conducts a formal evaluation. Even if you do not meet the requirements of your residence obligation, this is still correct. Therefore, in order to re-enter Canada, you must submit a permanent resident travel document (PRTD) application so that the visa officer can assess your residence status. Although you may not wish to get a PRTD, we still need a complete application to assess your residency status.

2. If you also need a visa or license, you can submit a full PRTD application using the visa/license application. You only need to pay the visa/license application fee without paying the assessed residence status.

3. If the visa officer determines that you have not met your residence obligations, you will notify you that you are no longer a permanent resident of Canada. After that, if you apply for any temporary access, you will need to meet the corresponding entry requirements.

How to operate:

Step 1: You need to prepare a document to apply for a return certificate, which is commonly referred to as the application document for the permanent resident travel documents, and attach the statement of voluntary abandonment of identity to the document.

Step 2: Prepare a complete set of information to apply for a Canadian tourist visa.

Step 3: Mail the two applications together to the Canadian Visa Centre, with only one application fee.

Step 4: Wait for the result. Since the return certificate is processed for a relatively long time and there is also an application for a visit visa, the review time will be longer. Please wait.

2. Meeting living conditions, I want to return to Canada to replace the new maple leaf card:

In this case, you can apply for Canadian permanent resident travel documents to return to Canada at one time even if the Canadian maple card expires.

Required Bill of Materials:

1. Original passport.

2. A white background photo with a dimension of 3.5x4.5 cm, and the top of the chin is 3.1*3.6 cm.

3. 1 front and rear copy of ID card.

4. Applicants have permanent resident identity certificate in Canada.

5. If you always accompany him as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, please refer to the documents on who you accompany him.

6. If hired by a Canadian business outside of Canada, a statement issued by a Canadian employer is issued.

7. Humanitarian and mercy reasons.
