Friends, many people have recently paid attention to the renewal deadline of the Canadian permanent resident certificate. Now I will tell you about this situation in detail.

The latest news shows that the normal processing cycle for Maple Leaf Card renewal is 68 days. However, this period is not static and will be adjusted depending on the applicant's personal situation and the workload of the immigration department. For example, the renewal processing cycle announced by Immigration and Refugee Canada (IRCC) in August 2024 is 72 days.

The timing of application is very important. It is recommended that when the remaining period of the Maple Leaf Card is less than nine months, that is, 270 days, preparations for renewal should be started. This can ensure that there is enough time to collect the required documents and avoid various unexpected situations that may affect the progress of the application due to hasty time.

Let me tell you the application process in detail below.

Prepare all the documents: valid passport, original Maple Leaf Card, if any; prepare proof of residence, such as utility bill, rental contract; in addition, prepare two recent passport photos.

Prepare renewal documents: Carefully fill out the standardized Maple Leaf Card Renewal Registration Form (IMM 5444) and attach the file directory (IMM 5644).

Renewal service requires a payment of fifty Canadian dollars. This amount can be paid online. Be sure to keep the payment receipt properly.

**Submit application**: You can choose to submit application materials by mail or online.

**Under Approval**: After submitting the materials, you can log on to the management agency website to learn about the progress of the case.

There are some things I would like to remind you of:

Be sure to start packing the relevant items as early as possible, and do not act hastily when the deadline is approaching to avoid making mistakes during the rush, causing a lot of inconvenience.

Pay attention to policy updates: Immigration regulations change from time to time, so be sure to check the latest official information before applying to avoid unnecessary trouble.

All application-related documents, including payment vouchers, etc., must be kept properly so that progress can be checked in the future.
