The person holding the Canadian Maple Leaf Card has the right to enter and exit Canada freely, has the qualification to freely settle in Canada, and can enjoy the same welfare benefits as local residents, including free education, free medical care and other social welfare in Canada, but does not have Canadian political rights. In addition, the person holding the Canadian Maple Leaf Card can still continue to enjoy all domestic benefits and rights.

Once you become a Canadian citizen, you become a Canadian citizen and can enjoy all the rights of a Canadian citizen, including political rights. If you hold a Canadian passport, you do not need to follow the immigration regulations. However, you must apply for a Chinese visa when you return to China. You can travel freely to 185 countries and regions without a visa, and you can also apply for TN status in the United States to work and live.

Since applying for Canadian citizenship involves giving up Chinese nationality, the applicant can no longer continue to enjoy domestic benefits.

What are the advantages of Maple Leaf Card and naturalization?

The main advantages of maintaining a Maple Leaf Card without naturalization are:

With a Maple Leaf Card, you can enjoy almost all Canadian benefits, such as cheaper tuition, free medical services, social benefits, and milk benefits.

Moreover, obtaining a Maple Leaf Card only obtains permanent residence in Canada. The applicant is still a legal citizen of China and has no impact on the nationality. It is extremely convenient for those applicants who want to enjoy the benefits of both countries at the same time, or who want to take care of both domestic and overseas business.

The advantages of naturalization include:

· After naturalization, there will be no immigration prison. You can stay in the country for a long time without going to Canada to sit in immigration prison.

· Be able to enjoy full civil rights, such as political rights;

Holding a Canadian passport allows you to enter 185 countries and regions without a visa, and with the North American Free Trade Agreement, you can obtain a TN visa to work in the United States. This is extremely convenient for those who have travel needs and freedom to do business.

With a Canadian passport, citizenship cannot be easily deprived of citizenship. In the case of criminal offenses, permanent residents may be deprived of permanent resident rights.

According to official statistics provided by the Canadian Department of Immigration, more than 80% of permanent residents are currently willing to apply for naturalization after meeting the corresponding conditions. However, in the past few years, only half of the permanent residents were willing to apply for naturalization. The shift in this data also shows that Canadian citizenship policies are getting better and better, and the waiting time is getting shorter.

However, whether it is determined to be naturalized still has to be determined based on the individual's situation. One thing that is clear is that the Canadian government is always improving its citizenship application procedures so that more people can obtain Canadian citizenship as early as possible.
