Recently, I received an urgent request from a friend. As a Canadian companion applicant, she needed to change the maple leaf card, but she felt a little confused due to the first operation. It is well known that immigration policies are complex enough to lose their minds, and the app can fail if you are not careful. Fortunately, with the help of a team of professional lawyers, her card replacement process went smoothly and she successfully obtained a new Maple Leaf card.

To benefit more friends, today I will explain the list of materials and precautions for Canadian partner applicants to replace maple leaf cards:

1️⃣**Citizenship Certificate of Canadian Spouse**: This is a necessary document! Make sure the color scans on the front and back are clearly visible and accessible.

2️⃣**Canadian spouse’s Canadian passport**: It’s also essential! Each page (including the home page, last page, stamp page and blank page) must be painted in color to ensure integrity and clarity.

3️⃣**Basic Information Table (06-2022)**: Only 1-22 items need to be filled in. If there are too many items and cannot be filled in, you can fill out the Excel form according to the format of Part 1.

4️⃣**Residence Status Excel Form**: Record your status and number of companion days with your spouse abroad. Notice! The sum of your companionship time with your spouse must be longer than 730 days before you are eligible to apply for a new maple leaf card.

Tip: If you have been with your spouse overseas for less than 730 days (i.e. two years), you will not be able to apply for a new maple leaf card in the form of a Canadian company. Therefore, it is very important to plan your schedule!

I hope this guide can help friends who are preparing to replace the maple leaf card. If you have any questions or need more professional guidance, please feel free to consult our professional lawyer team! I wish you all the best and get the beautiful maple leaf card as soon as possible!
