According to the Canadian World Magazine, in Canada, Chinese immigration complaints about the reissue of maple leaf cards were harassed by immigration officials. Immigration consultants believe that when deciding whether to approve the reissue of the maple leaf card, Immigration should focus on the actual contribution of immigration to the Canadian economy, not just caring about how long they live in Canada. It is recommended that the Ministry of Immigration should relax the rules for reissuing maple leaf cards to avoid similar controversies.

According to the Canadian Study Abroad Network (), Chinese investment immigration complained that immigration officials encountered trouble when exchanging maple leaf cards, saying he was not a local full-time boss and asked him to leave within 30 days.

For many business immigrants, it is unlikely that they will end their careers in the original location immediately after they immigrate. Most of them will put their families in Canada. Major applicants will continue to return to their original business locations and then gradually change their career priorities.

The replacement Maple Leaf Regulations stipulate that applicants must live for five years before delivery, but this does not allow Canadian companies to serve overseas. Therefore, in the past, many investment immigrants applied for renewal of more maple cards in the name of outsourcing. But immigration consultants stressed that this technique is no longer useful. I would like to ask, how can a big boss succumb to an extradition work of $20,000 to $3,000 a month? Immigration officials simply won't believe this.

Instead of contributing to fraud, the immigration consultant believes that the immigration department should recognize the actual needs of commercial immigration. In fact, many people want to achieve some local achievements, but because existing operations at the original location cannot be completed immediately, they uprooted and traveled only between two places.

It is better to encourage them to do business in Canada rather than keep them out. If you don’t have good English, you will naturally hire locals to create jobs and let them often return to their original residence, use their past connections to expand business opportunities and create economic benefits for Canada. Why not do this?

The immigration consultant suggested that the Ministry of Immigration relaxed the rules for reissuing maple leaf cards, mainly considering the applicant's contribution to the Canadian economy, rather than sticking to the rules of living for five years and living for two years, only caring about how long the applicant will live in the area.
