Canadian maple leaf card application method

Application procedures for maple leaf card announced by the Federal Immigration Department in 2005:

According to the relevant regulations of the Immigration Bureau, applicants must record and submit their residence, work and study history on a monthly basis. At the same time, they must be guaranteed by government-approved experts or professional title holders to prove the authenticity of the information provided.

World Journal reported that the federal government has implemented new immigration regulations since June 28, and accordingly, traditional immigration documents will gradually fade out of history and be replaced by maple leaf cards. This move is mainly based on safety considerations. Past immigration documents lack photos of the holder and are therefore prone to forgery or impersonation by others. In addition, Maple Leaf Card has another significant advantage, which is that it is easy to carry, its texture and size are similar to that of a credit card, and it can be easily placed in a wallet.
