As one of the top ten most popular places in the world for its livable qualities, Canada has always been a highly attractive destination for immigrants. What you get when you immigrate to Canada is a permanent residence, which is a Maple Leaf Card. You don't need to apply for a visa when traveling to and from China. Within a five-year period, you can renew your visa as long as you live in Canada for two years. After living in Canada for three years, you have time to apply for Canadian citizenship and become a citizen of that country. >>[Consult now].

For permanent residents who have obtained the "Maple Leaf Card", although they enjoy basically the same benefits as citizens, the right to vote is excluded, and they can also enjoy the situation where one person succeeds and the whole family immigrate. Their children will receive 12 years of free education, and the whole family can enjoy free medical care and other benefits.

Canada's natural environment is of high quality and beautiful, the air quality is at a good level, the education system, social security system and medical care system are all complete to a certain extent, and there is also a relatively rich "social welfare policy".

The most important point is that Canada has free lifelong medical insurance, free education from kindergarten to high school, and generous old-age pensions, covering children's milk money. In addition, Canada's social order is stable, and the national annual average crime rate is the lowest among developed countries.

Recently, the editor has received a lot of inquiries from applicants, such as: first, what kind of address should be reserved when entering the country to apply for a Maple Leaf Card? Second, how should one apply for a Maple Leaf Card when one does not have a Canadian address? Third, how long does it take to obtain a Maple Leaf Card? Fourth, after one obtains an immigrant visa, can he/she be able to enter and exit the country at will, etc.

So today, the editor is going to give you some knowledge about the Maple Leaf Card. Dear viewers, look over here.

Q1: What is the Maple Leaf Card?

A: The card is a permanent resident card. Once you have this card, it means that you have permanent resident status in Canada. Except that you do not have the right to vote or be elected, and you cannot engage in certain jobs that require high-level security inspections, you can obtain most of the social benefits that Canadian citizens can obtain, including medical insurance. You can live, work or study anywhere in Canada. You can also apply for Canadian citizenship. At the same time, you are protected by Canadian law and the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms".

Because the symbol of Canada is the maple leaf, the Canadian permanent resident card is called the maple leaf card in China.

Q2: How long is the Maple Leaf Card valid for?

Q3: How to apply for the first Maple Leaf Card?

When new immigrants land in Canada for the first time, they can go to the New Immigration Office at the place of entry to apply.

Q4: How long is the application cycle for the Maple Leaf Card?

Previously, the processing cycle on the official website was 22 days. However, including the mailing time, it usually takes 1 to 3 months. In the near future, due to the impact of the epidemic, it may take more time.

The following is the rewritten content: I heard that when applying for a Maple Leaf Card, I need to provide an address. However, I do not have a Canadian address. What should I do in this case? Can you provide one at will?

A: Take Saskatchewan as an example. For those applicants who usually obtain permanent residence status through Saskatchewan nomination, it is recommended that if such applicants keep the receiving address of their Maple Leaf Card, they should try their best to keep the address in Saskatchewan.

It does not matter if the applicant does not have a fixed address in Saskatchewan at the beginning. According to the official website, starting from the date of becoming a permanent resident (that is, the date of entry), the address must be sent to the Federal Immigration Service online within 180 days. If the address is not provided for more than 180 days, the Maple Leaf Card will be cancelled. (Please note that the mailing address of the Maple Leaf Card must be an address in Canada!).

Q6: I want to cancel my permanent residence status, can I?

A: If there is a need to cancel your permanent residence status, you must apply online to the Canadian Federal Immigration Service to cancel your permanent resident status. The cancellation can only be done after approval. >>[Consult now].

Q7: Can an immigrant visa be used multiple times?

A: The immigration visa affixed to the passport has a one-time nature. When entering the customs for the first time, the customs officer will cross out the visa. After obtaining the Maple Leaf Card, the applicant can directly enter the Canadian Customs by swiping the Maple Leaf Card when entering or exiting Canada again.

What should I do if I want to re-enter Canada after leaving Canada without getting a Maple Leaf Card?

If you leave Canada before receiving your Maple Leaf Card, you must apply for a temporary Canadian permanent resident document, the so-called re-entry permit, before returning to Canada, and then rely on the temporary permanent resident document to enter Canada.
