As we all know, Canadian immigrants need to meet the residence time requirements. If the requirements are not met, the Maple Leaf Card cannot be renewed after it expires. Therefore, many people worry that their permanent residence qualifications will be cancelled.

The Canadian Citizenship Card is an important document for identity authentication. This document needs to be renewed every five years. If it cannot be replaced on time, what will happen to the document after it expires?

Retaining the permanent resident status will not be regarded as voluntary abandonment. As long as you fulfill the responsibility of maintaining the validity of the Maple Leaf Card, or live for a specified period of time, the permanent resident status will not be canceled due to the expiration of the Maple Leaf Card.

Card holders must present their personal identity documents when entering Canada. Border management personnel will ask relevant personnel to provide identity documents. Other government departments also need to check the Maple Leaf Card when confirming identity information.

It is not illegal in Canada to fail to reissue your Maple Leaf Card in time after it expires, even if you choose not to apply for a new card. However, the Canadian Immigration Service still recommends permanent residents who frequently travel to Canada to go through the renewal procedures as soon as possible if conditions permit, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble in the identity verification process during customs clearance. And when you prepare to leave abroad and return to Canada, you must go to Canadian institutions in various places in the country to apply for a one-time "Permanent Passenger Pass Certificate". This certificate can explain to the border inspectors that you have the status of a permanent resident when entering the country.

Canada actually has no management measures for entry and exit. Regardless of whether you hold a Maple Leaf Card or not, you can leave at any time without any hindrance. According to Canadian law, permanent residents have the right to enter the country. This right will not change even if the Maple Leaf Card has expired and has not been applied for renewal.
