Many immigrants cannot live as required and their maple leaf card will become invalid. Generally speaking, if the maple leaf card fails, you will not be able to enter Canada (especially Chinese immigrants! Hong Kong and Taiwan passports are relatively free).

But the good news is that the Canadian Immigration Agency updated its “Permanent Resident Travel Documents” guide last month, requiring immigration officials to release “Permanent Resident Travel Documents” to those who failed maple leaf cards, which must be that they have entered Canada at least once in the past year!

That is, if the maple leaf card fails, you can still enter Canada with the Permanent Resident Travel Documents (giving you a chance to restore immigration status). remember! But the condition is that you have entered Canada at least once in the past year!

The policy has not been recently obtained, but the immigration department has not provided clear guidance to immigration officials before, so the standards for each immigration official involved will vary.

According to the latest data, Canadian permanent residents' maple leaf cards will expire, but still live in China, rejecting applications for the 2014 "Permanent Resident Tourism Document" (PRTD) with a pass rate of only a pitiful 56%. As a result, many people lose their permanent resident qualifications.

But by 2015, the pass rate rose to 89%, and was rejected to drop to 303 people.

Since the Ministry of Immigration released its guidance, the monthly pass rate this year has reached 95%, with only 16 people being rejected.

Nancy Caron, a spokesman for Immigration, noted that the Immigration Bureau has not recently changed its regulations to apply for "travel documents for permanent residents" and has reduced the number of people rejected, and more immigrants are expected to know the application requirements.

Canada stipulates that the validity period of the maple leaf card is 5 years. According to regulations, permanent residents must live for 2 years in the past 5 years before they can continue to issue new maple leaf cards.

Many "astronauts" who do not live locally and return to China are afraid to apply for new cards because they are worried that they do not have enough time to live. When they need to return to Canada, they will apply for "tourism documents" for permanent residents to use the China Immigration Bureau Visa Office.

However, several immigration lawyers have noticed that many clients have been denied before and reminded permanent residents to be aware that applying for "permanent resident travel documents" is also a "risk way", which means that losing permanent resident status is easy.

Many Chinese have misunderstandings about Canadian immigration status.

Immigration Canada has long made it clear that you will still have permanent resident status even if your maple leaf card expires. You won't have an identity because your maple card has expired.

In the Canadian Immigration Act, permanent residents can only lose their permanent resident status in two situations:

1. After the hearing, the Immigration and Refugee Bureau (IRB) ruling () ruled that permanent residents are no longer in identity;

2. When permanent residents apply for "Permanent Resident Travel Documents", they find that they are no longer permanent resident qualifications and currently they will also lose permanent resident qualifications. (So ​​applying for a PRTA is a dangerous road)

The judge or immigration officials believe that the reason permanent residents lose their status is nothing more than that they cannot prove that they have lived in Canada for two years in the past five years. There was also a serious crime, and he was asked to leave Canada.

Immigration experts remind that despite the fact that the Ministry of Immigration gave "travel documents for permanent residents" to deny people, there is still a chance to return to Canada to attend the hearing, but few can save their identity through the hearing.

He said once the application for "Permanent Resident Travel Documents" is rejected, it could mean that permanent resident status will be lost from that time on. If you need to travel to Canada, you can only apply for a visa. Some people from visa-free countries or regions can enter the country through visa-free passports.

China has been Canada's third largest source of immigration in recent years, but it is the place in the world to apply for the most "permanent resident travel documents". (In other words, China has the most "astronauts"!)

In 2014, 4,720 people applied, but 1,995 people were rejected, with a pass rate of only 56%. But the approval rate rose to 89% in 2015, with only 303 of the 2,888 applicants being rejected. The monthly pass rate in January 2016 was as high as 95%. (Ministry of Immigration Guide played a role)

India is also a major immigration country, applying for the “Permanent Resident Tourism Document” in 2014, accounting for 69%, and the passing rate increased to 84% in 2015, respectively, to the number of applicants of 3,194 and 2,669, respectively.

In addition, the Philippines has been the largest source of Canadian immigration for many years, applying for the "Permanent Resident Tourism Document" in 2014, with a pass rate of 89%; in 2015, 1,676 people applied, with a pass rate of 97%; in January this year, the pass rate was as high as 100%.

Statistics also show that Taiwan has the lowest passing rate of “permanent residents’ travel documents”. In 2014, there were 423 people in Taiwan applying, and only 123 people were approved, while the pass rate was only 30%. In 2015, the pass rate also rose to 79%.

Not many people in Hong Kong apply for "permanent resident travel documents". In 2014, only 135 people applied, but 71 people were rejected, with a pass rate of only 45%, lower than China's 56%. In 2015, only 89 people applied, and the pass rate rose to 78%.

In fact, Canada is still a very reasonable country. Friends, you should cherish the opportunity. . .
