Canada requires its permanent resident (maple leaf card holder) to live for 2 years within 5 years after obtaining an immigration visa before retaining its permanent resident status. If a person successfully applies for a permanent resident but is not in Canada most of the time, then Immigration will cancel his permanent resident status if he does not want to live in Canada for a long time.

Hong Kong resident Ms. Lu logged into Canada with her parents on March 19, 1993 and obtained permanent resident status. Since then, she has lived and worked in Hong Kong for a long time. In five years, she returned to Canada four times and lived there for 115 days.

In 2017, Ms. Lu applied for travel documents (), but because she violated the provisions of the Immigration Act, she did not fulfill her obligation to leave enough time. She was denied to return to Canada as a permanent resident. The appeal of the parties was still denied.

The Immigration Department's Appeals Department all argued that although Ms. Lu often visited her parents and sister in Canada, she never tried to settle here and had no intention of taking root here. Her roots are still in Hong Kong. Even now, her desire is to spend more time in Canada and help take care of her elderly parents, but she will eventually continue to live in Hong Kong with her husband and son.

Since Ms. Lu had no intention of staying in Canada for a long time, she would not have any difficulties even if she was deprived of her permanent resident status. In view of this, officials from the Immigration Department's appeals department agreed to the Immigration Department's decision and rejected Ms. Lu's appeal.

Recently, Mr. Meng (pseudonym), who invested in immigration, was deported by the Canadian Immigration Agency, and his appeal failed.

According to information released by the Federal Immigration Agency, in May 2010, Mr. Meng immigrated to Canada with his wife and children through investment immigration. But half a month after his landing, he left his wife and children and returned to China alone. Then, his life was still the same as before immigration, and he always stayed in China to work and live.

During the five years from April 23, 2011 to April 22, 2016, Mr. Meng's total stay in Canada was less than 300 days, which is far from the Immigration Act. New immigrants must be within five years. Residence is required for 730 days.

After investigation, officials from the immigration department learned about the situation, and they immediately canceled their immigration status and issued a deportation order. Mr. Meng was naturally dissatisfied and spent a lot of effort to deal with immigration. How could he say it disappeared? Therefore, he appealed to the Immigration Appeals Committee. However, the judge was not moved by him.

Statistics show that more than 4,000 people are waiting for repatriation in Canada within a month.

It is worth noting that according to the existing data, 829 Chinese were deported in September 2016 and deported in October! This ratio is close to 20% of all repatriated people.

Dissatisfied with dwelling time lately, forged entrance and export seals have become increasingly common, and applicants can extend their dwelling time in Canada, according to photos provided by the Canadian Border Services Department. This means more and more immigrants live less than 2 years after logging in.

So, how do you calculate whether Canadian immigration prisons have lived for two years in five years? To understand a specific algorithm for living in Canada for 2 years within 5 years, you must first understand how long you lived in Canada.

According to the Canadian Immigration Agency regulations, you can apply for a 2-year maple leaf card extension application within 5 years, that is, 730 days, and maintain permanent resident status. To understand a specific algorithm for living in Canada for 2 years within 5 years, you must first understand how long you lived in Canada.

According to the Immigration Bureau, the following three conditions can satisfy the conditions for living in Canada:

First, I actually live in Canada.

Second, if you are a Canadian company (registered in Canada with records of continuous operations) or a Canadian government agency works overseas, the time you live abroad at this time is considered to be living in Canada.

Third, live overseas with a spouse of Canadian nationality. Currently, living abroad is also considered to live in Canada.

However, children with Canadian nationality who are accompanied overseas cannot be considered to live in Canada, while children under the age of 22 years of age live in Canada are considered to live in Canada.

By understanding the concept of residence time in Canada, you can understand the algorithm for keeping maple leaf card time. Since the immigration login period, it is not the time to obtain a maple leaf card, and it is impossible to live for 2 years within 5 years. Its algorithm comes in two forms:

First, we will reiterate the day we applied for the maple leaf card extension and lived in 5 years for 2 years;

The second is from the date you enter Canada until 5 years.

As long as it can be proved that through one of the three lifestyles mentioned above, any reverse method meets the requirements of 2 years of life, and it will meet the conditions for living within 5 years of 2 years.

In this way, the problem faced is that the Immigration Bureau will apply for a maple leaf card extension based on a 5-year life, and the border department will decide whether to allow access to the country for 2 years with a 5-year life.

Delayed Maple Leaf Card, that is, if you have been logged in for over 5 years, you may have this kind of trouble when entering and leaving the country.

For example, those who received the Maple Leaf Card Extension in May 2010 will live for 2 years during any period from 2005 to 2010, possibly live for 1 year in 2005 and 2006, or 2005 or 2009 or 1 year in 1 year in 2005 or 2009 .

This way, when you get a postponed new maple leaf card after May 2010 and leave Canada for return in May 2012, the Border Department will reverse the price for five years from May 2012.

That is, people who have lived there for two years from May 2007 to May 2012 can enter the country; otherwise, the Border Ministry has the right to prevent them from entering the country.

Therefore, maple leaf card holders should pay attention to this and meet the requirements of the Immigration Bureau and the Border Department as much as possible during their stay.
