The Maple Leaf Card is a document used by Canadian permanent residents to prove their identity. Individuals holding it must abide by certain residency obligations in order to maintain their permanent resident status. Specifically, whether they apply for a Maple Leaf Card for the first time or reapply after five years, they must pass the residence test.

In addition, the Maple Leaf Card held by Canadian permanent residents can only be applied for in Canada. If a permanent resident's Maple Leaf Card expires while leaving Canada, he or she cannot apply for a new card at an overseas embassy or consulate or visa center.
