Baozi, everyone knows that the maple leaf card update has residence requirements, but in fact, there are still many important conditions that are easily overlooked. Today, I will tell you in detail:

1⃣Identity Conditions:

You must be a permanent resident of Canada to update your maple leaf card. Friends applying for naturalization and becoming citizenship should not participate.

2⃣Application location conditions:

Applications are usually submitted within Canada. If you are abroad and your maple leaf card has expired, you must first apply for a permanent residence travel document (PRTD) and you can only update your maple leaf card after entering Canada.

3 Other conditions:

Maple Leaf Card Status: Expired or valid for less than 9 months (270 days) must be updated, lost, stolen or damaged.

Not summarizing: This is a must. If you are deported, you cannot apply for renewal.

No record of improper use: There is no “black history” of abusing the maple leaf card.

4⃣Exemption conditions for special circumstances:

This part of the time can also be considered as a stay in Canada if you live abroad with a Canadian citizen (such as a spouse, cohabiting partner or parent) or are sent abroad to work due to a Canadian company. Isn't it humane?

5⃣Complete application materials:

Fill in the complete maple leaf card update application form ().

Provide a copy of valid identification documents, such as passports, etc.

Photo: Use digital photos online and apply offline to paper photos, and the specifications must meet the requirements.

Fee Receipt: After paying the application fee, remember to keep a copy of the receipt.

6⃣ Application process begins:

1. Confirm that you meet the update criteria.

2. Choosing an application method, whether online or offline, depends on your own convenience.

3. Prepare the required materials and submit them.

4. Pay the application fee.

5. Wait patiently for the Immigration Bureau to submit it and review it after it is submitted. If there is an emergency, such as frequent business trips required for work and health reasons, you can apply for emergency treatment.

Tip: Be sure to double-check all information before updating to make sure everything is foolproof! Remember to follow official updates and get the latest policy information! Complete these and your maple leaf card update journey will be smooth! I wish you all the best, maple leaves are trapped in your hands, and Canada will leave as soon as possible!
