As one of the top ten livable places in the world, Canada has always been an extremely popular country for immigrants. What you get when you immigrate to Canada is permanent residency (Maple Leaf Card). You do not need a visa to travel to and from China. You can renew your visa after living in Canada for two years during a five-year period. After living in Canada for three years, you can apply for naturalization and become a Canadian citizen.

Permanent residents holding a "Maple Leaf Card" enjoy the same benefits as citizens, except for the right to vote. They can also enjoy the convenience of immigrating as a family if one person succeeds. Children can receive free education for up to 12 years, and the whole family can also enjoy a series of benefits such as free medical care.

Canada's natural environment presents a beautiful situation, the quality of the air is in good condition, the education system, the social security system, the medical care system and many other aspects are in a relatively complete state, and it also has a rich form of "so-called social welfare policies."

It is especially critical that Canada has free lifelong medical insurance, completely free education from kindergarten to high school, well-paid old-age pensions, milk funds for children, etc. In addition, Canada's social order is stable, and the national average annual crime rate is the lowest among developed countries.

Let me give you some knowledge about the Maple Leaf Card.

Q1: What is the Maple Leaf Card?

A: card permanent resident card. Holding this card means having Canadian permanent resident status. In addition to not having the right to vote or stand for election, and being unable to engage in certain jobs that require high-level security inspections, they can obtain most of the social benefits that Canadian citizens enjoy, including medical insurance. You can live, work or study anywhere in Canada, you can apply for Canadian citizenship, and you are protected by Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Question 5: I heard that you need to provide an address to apply for a Maple Leaf Card, but I don’t have a Canadian address. What should I do in this case? Can you please provide one?

As far as Nassar is concerned, those applicants who usually obtain permanent residence status with the help of Saskatchewan nominations. For these applicants, if they want to retain the receiving address of their Maple Leaf Card, it is best to retain the address in Saskatchewan as much as possible.

If the applicant does not have a fixed address in Saskatchewan at the beginning, there is no problem. According to the requirements stipulated on the official website, the address must be sent to the Federal Immigration Service online within 180 days from the date of becoming a permanent resident, which is also known as the date of entry. If the address has not been provided for more than 180 days, the Maple Leaf Card will be cancelled. (The address when mailing the Maple Leaf Card must be an address in Canada!).

When you log in for the first time to go through customs, the immigration type visa affixed to your passport will be crossed out by the customs officer because it is a one-time use. After getting the Maple Leaf Card, the applicant can directly swipe the Maple Leaf Card to enter and exit Canada.

Q8: What should I do if I leave Canada before I get my Maple Leaf Card and then re-enter Canada?

If you leave Canada without receiving a Maple Leaf Card and return to Canada again, you must apply for a temporary Canadian permanent resident document (also known as a return permit) in advance, and then rely on the temporary permanent resident document to enter Canada.
