so:

Even if your card has expired, you will remain eligible to apply for renewal as long as you have lived in the past five years for a total of two years, and this behavior does not violate relevant immigration regulations.

If your maple leaf card has expired and you have not met the requirements of immigration prison and you have decided not to retain this identity, then you should take the initiative to apply to waive the maple leaf card. Through this step, you can completely remove the identity of a permanent resident of Canada. Only after that can you have the opportunity to apply for a Canadian tourist visa, etc.

Border officials are not allowed to deprive permanent residents of their qualifications without authorization. If the resident is found to have not fulfilled the residence requirements during the entry review, the border management department may issue a repatriation order while approving their entry. The affected residents have the right to appeal the repatriation order.
