Key points for retaining maple leaf card

Many people who have obtained Canadian maple leaf cards have decided to settle in China for various reasons, but if they want to continue to hold this important card, they need to pay attention to some key points.

> �Abide by residence requirements

Canadian permanent residents must complete a five-year cycle, during which they must actually live in the country for 730 days, which is equivalent to two years. For residents who intend to live in China for a long time, it is very necessary to arrange a trip back to Canada to ensure compliance with residence regulations.

> Make good use of legal exemptions

If you are entrusted by a Canadian employer to work in China, you must obtain the employer's documents to show that the cross-border work has close economic relations and life relationships with Canada, such as tax receipts and retained address information in Canada. In addition, if you live in China in order to take care of a Canadian spouse or long-term partner, when applying for renewal of Canadian citizenship certificate, you must submit documents that can prove the relationship between the two parties and the spouse's identity documents in Canada.

> Stay in touch with Canada

In order to maintain relationships in Canada, you can consider opening a bank account locally for financial management or home purchase, and keeping in asset status regularly. In addition, keep in touch with relatives and friends in Canada, or understand Canadian social trends by participating in local Chinese organizations, reading Canadian Chinese media, etc. These can reflect your close connection with Canada.
