After all the hard work, you finally got your Canadian immigration visa. Congratulations! However, this is only the first step in the long journey of thousands of miles! Next, we have to meet our most important permanent residence document - Maple Leaf Card!

1. Applying for the first time, looking forward to her arrival

With a fixed address, when you apply for a Maple Leaf Card for the first time, the immigration officer will help you apply at the airport.

When new immigrants land for the first time, they also go through the application procedures for a Maple Leaf Card when going through customs-related procedures. The card will be sent directly to the address you left. What if there is no fixed address? It is necessary to pre-determine a place where the documents can be properly collected before entering the customs. Therefore, it is necessary to rent or buy a house. If this is not possible, you can consider a friend's house. In short, you need to provide a mailing address.

Required documents: passport/immigrant visa/landing paper/fixed address in Canada.

2. Looking for her, looking forward to her arrival

People who are looking forward to the Maple Leaf Card can check the progress of the Maple Leaf Card on the official website called cic.gc.ca of the Canadian Immigration Service.

"In" is being reviewed. It means that the Immigration Bureau is still reviewing you.

If there is a “Made” result, under normal circumstances, the Immigration Bureau will make a decision to approve the new card.

""Application completed. Congratulations, your application has been approved!

Under normal circumstances, the Maple Leaf Card arrives more than a month after logging in. However (recently), the time required for Maple Leaf Cards has been extended, and there is no pattern. There are cases where a family receives the Maple Leaf Card in batches. The first person received it one month after logging in, but the person behind him waited for half a year. Therefore, if you plan to log in in a short period and wait for the Maple Leaf Card, it is extremely difficult to grasp the time.

3. First intimate contact and careful inspection

Once you receive the Maple Leaf Card for the first time, you must not be overly happy. Recently, there have been many oolong situations where the nationality was filled in incorrectly. Unfortunately, once you encounter such an oolong situation, you can only apply for a change to the Maple Leaf Card.

Required: www.cic.gc.ca URL to fill in the form:

4. Has not arrived yet and needs to check again.

If your Maple Leaf Card has not been delivered for a long time and seriously exceeds the date indicated on the official website, you have to check again to find out what happened that caused this phenomenon. Usually, 80% of the problems are caused by the photos not meeting the requirements. When new immigrants set foot on this land for the first time, they also go through the application procedures for Maple Leaf Cards at the same time as they apply for entry-related procedures.

There is a possibility that the photo the applicant gives to the Immigration Bureau does not meet the requirements of the card issuance center. I suggest that everyone bring photos that meet the requirements as a backup when logging in.
