What is a maple leaf card?

The maple leaf card itself is valid for a period of time and needs to be replaced every five years. Maple Leaf Card Application must be submitted within the territory and the applicant must provide a guarantor who resides in Canada, who must be a Canadian citizen and have known the applicant for more than two years.

Don't worry about life without a house

In order to "make the poor and poor in the world a happy place to become a sanctify", the Canadian government allocates funds every year to build a large amount of government housing, and the government entrusts the government to manage it. In a sense, this is a benefit specifically for the poor! If you have a "maple leaf card", you can apply for government housing!

Raising a baby is easy

If you immigrate to Canada and get a maple leaf card, you don’t have to worry about not being able to support the twelve zodiac signs! Parenting subsidies: In Canada, preschool education for 6-year-olds is self-financing. Children's monthly care costs are $600-800, so the government has specially allocated childcare subsidies. Milk Gold: Every child can be born from birth to 18 every month. The purpose of establishing this subsidy is to help families with low incomes and to encourage everyone to have more children.

Ensure employment

If Canadian residents (hereafter referred to as Canadian permanent residents and citizens) continue to work for half a year and are unable to continue working due to unemployment, illness, childbirth or adoption of children, they can earn temporary income through the National Employment Insurance Program. That is, receive regular subsidies over a period of time to reduce the impact of unemployment. The amount of subsidy an applicant receives depends on the length of his working hours and the local unemployment rate. To apply for subsidies, you must go to the Canadian Government Employment Center (), the institution that applies for a social insurance card ().

Can enjoy medical insurance

Every province in Canada has a health insurance plan that provides cheap and high-quality health care. The Canadian government allocates about CAD$4.8 billion per year to achieve health care benefits. Insurance plans include medical services, medical expenses, hospitalization and surgery costs, but do not include medical expenses. If your family doctor believes you need hospitalization or even surgery, all costs are subject to a health insurance plan regardless of the size of the surgery. During hospitalization, patients do not have to pay for their own meals, medical expenses, etc. Most prescription drugs are provided for free for older people over 65 years of age, and prescription drugs that receive social relief are provided for free.

Don't be afraid of retirement

In addition to Quebec, Canadian provinces have implemented Canadian retirement plans. The Canadian retirement plan is a public insurance plan. Canadian residents deduct a certain amount of pension contributions from their monthly income and can receive subsidies through this program after retirement or after a long-term physical disability. Pensions must be paid taxes and can be obtained by applicants wherever they are in the world.

Can apply for social welfare

Social welfare funds are the cornerstone of the Maple Leaf Card system. They are used to ensure the basic living standards of every Canadian resident. If a Canadian resident has no income and deposits less than $1,000 in bank deposits, you can apply for this benefit. If a person can get $500-700 a month, a family of three can get $1,100-1,300 a month, which is enough to maintain a low-level lifespan. New immigrants usually don’t enjoy this benefit within the first six months, so it will take funds to log in to Canada to sustain their lives for six months.

Can enjoy the holiday

The Canadian government stipulates that full-time employees can receive two weeks (ten working days) per year after working for one year and three weeks of paid leave per year after five consecutive years. Holidays cannot be replaced by salaries and employees are not allowed to be fired. Additionally, you can get unpaid maternity leave, continue to maintain your pension or medical plan, and return to your original job after the maternity leave is over. During maternity leave, mothers can apply for employment insurance EI.

Don't worry about retirement

The legal retirement age in Canada is 65 years old. Canadian residents, regardless of their assets or income, are eligible for the Elderly Welfare Protection Program as long as they have settled in Canada for more than ten years. It should be noted that pensions will not be automatically paid by the government after your retirement age. You must apply to the government within 12 months before your 65th birthday before you can get a pension. In fact, pensions are similar to China's minimum living safety fund. The amount of pension is determined by the length of life the applicant has in Canada and will be paid monthly by the federal government.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, Canada has all the benefits, such as disease allowance, pregnancy allowance, spouse allowance, etc., which you can't imagine without Canada! As long as you have a maple leaf card, you can enjoy the above benefits.
