Knowing your concerns about the renewal of the Maple Leaf Card, if the Canadian Maple Leaf Card has not been used for two years, it can still be renewed through specific methods. The following are the specific methods:

1. Accompanying Canadian citizen spouse/common-law partner:

If your spouse is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and you have lived abroad for a long time, you can apply for the accompanying residence exemption. You need to provide marriage certificate and your spouse's residence certificate in Canada and other materials to prove that you live with your spouse and focus on living abroad.

2. Being assigned to work by a Canadian company/government:

If you are working abroad due to a dispatch by a Canadian company or government, you will need to provide proof of assignment, such as an employment contract, dispatch letter, etc., as well as the employer's registration information in Canada, etc. The period of overseas assignment can be regarded as fulfilling the residency obligation, but you must ensure that you return to Canada after the work is completed.

3. Application for humanitarian or special reasons:

If you are unable to meet the residence requirements due to special reasons such as health or family emergencies, you can submit a humanitarian application to the Immigration Bureau in Canada. You must provide detailed supporting materials, such as medical reports and family relationship certificates, and each person can only use this right once in his lifetime.

4. Avoid Maple Leaf Card restrictions through land entry

If your Maple Leaf Card has expired but you have not lost your permanent resident status, you can enter Canada by land (such as driving) to avoid being intercepted by airlines. Make sure you have other valid travel documents (such as a passport) when entering the country.

Notes on card guarantee:

Calculate the residence obligation into a rolling five-year period, and ensure that you have lived for two years in the five years before any checkpoint.

The Maple Leaf Card is just a travel document. If the corresponding period of stay is not completed, it will not affect the permanent resident status, but it may affect the entry.

Applications for assignment or accompanying must strictly comply with the official requirements. If there is any false statement, it is very likely to result in a permanent ban from entering the country.
