Once expired, these things will be difficult to deal with.

The application process is complicated and time-consuming

It takes a lot of time to prepare the files. For example, passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable) is good, but police certificate is a hassle, you may have to apply for a different place, you also need a language translation and a certificate. Filling out the application form is not easy. You cannot miss any personal information and must be carefully checked and organized. In addition, the timing of Canadian Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship (IRCC) processing applications is uncertain and sometimes it must be supplemented. This will be even more troublesome if the maple leaf card expires.

Ensure residence requirements meet standards
