Is it illegal to fail to apply for a new card before my Maple Leaf Card expires?

Failure to apply for a replacement Maple Leaf card when it expires does not constitute an offense. There is even another situation where you can choose not to renew a new card. However, if a permanent resident plans to go abroad and then return to Canada, the advice given by the immigration department is that the best way is to apply for a Maple Leaf Card so that he can prove his status as a permanent resident at any time.

After your Maple Leaf Card expires and you have not applied for a new card, you will not be able to leave or enter Canada?

You can still go abroad, but before returning to your home country, you must submit an application to the Canadian visa offices located in various places to obtain a "permanent resident travel document" that can only be used once to return to Canada.

Canada is a country that does not have any controls on leaving the country. In this country, whether you have a Maple Leaf Card or not, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time without any restrictions. Moreover, as a permanent resident of Canada, you have rights rather than privileges to enter Canada. Even if your Maple Leaf Card has expired, this right will not be affected. The official website of the Immigration Department states that when the Maple Leaf Card expires but the person is abroad, he or she needs to apply for a single-use permanent resident travel document from a Canadian visa office in order to return to the country. The Canadian Immigration Law stipulates that when arriving at the country, you can prove that you are a permanent resident by any means, and it does not necessarily have to be a Maple Leaf Card.

If you hold a Maple Leaf Card, you can go to any country that has a visa-free policy for Canada without having to apply for a visa. Is this possible?

Just holding a Maple Leaf Card does not mean having a passport or visa, and with a Maple Leaf Card, you cannot enter other countries that require visas. The Maple Leaf Card is designed to allow holders to enter Canada more quickly. It is not a visa. As for the visa regulations of various countries for people holding different passports, each country is not consistent, so you must check clearly.

If I drive back to Canada by land, I don’t need to show my Maple Leaf Card?

Every permanent resident must present documents that can be used to prove his or her permanent resident status to relevant officials when entering the country. Among them, the Maple Leaf Card is the most ideal document.

If you fail to present your Maple Leaf Card, the customs officer may ask you to produce any of the following supporting documents:

*The completed "Permanent Resident Confirmation Form"

(;

First of all, the original "Immigration Paper", or rather, a copy of the "Immigration Paper" officially confirmed by the National Headquarters of the Ministry of Immigration exists.

*Passport with landing date stamp;

*A letter from the Department of Immigration and Immigration National Headquarters proving your permanent resident status.

Customs officers have the right to ask you more questions to determine your permanent resident status.

In accordance with Canadian immigration regulations, the Canadian Maple Leaf Card is valid for five years from the date of issuance. All Canadian permanent residents must have lived in Canada for a total of 730 days. Those who hold a Maple Leaf Card must have lived in the country for two years within the five years that the card is valid. As long as they have not become a citizen of the country, they must always fulfill this residency obligation.

Regardless of whether you are applying for a Maple Leaf Card for the first time or applying for a second Maple Leaf Card after five years, you must pass the "residency test." Anyone who holds Canadian permanent residence status needs to fulfill the residency obligation for more than 730 days in any five-year period.

The Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Immigrant Nomination Program has relatively low IELTS requirements.

The Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Program is an immigration project set by the Saskatchewan government. Applicants’ early application materials must first be reviewed and approved by the provincial immigration bureau. The procedure may seem complicated, but for qualified applicants, it is the fastest, easiest, and most flexible way to immigrate. It can be adjusted and reviewed at any time, has the highest success rate, and has the fastest approval time.

The basic conditions are to meet the federal score of 67 and the SINP score of 60, and the required occupation and relevant work experience are required.

Nova Scotia is the second smallest province in Canada. It is located in the east of Canada. Its total area is 55,491 square kilometers and its population is only 920,000. Because it is close to the ocean, Nova Scotia has a warm, humid and rainy climate. It is the warmest province in Canada, and its climate is similar to New York, Boston, and Dalian, China. Nova Scotia has been voted the most livable place in the world by many geographical magazines in the world.

The NOVA Provincial Skilled Immigration Provincial Nominee Program is divided into two categories:

The first category is for applicants who have received an offer from a Nova Scotia employer supported by a labor market impact assessment.

In the second category, applicants have been in full-time status for at least one year (i.e. 1,560 hours or more) in the 29 officially in-demand occupations in the past five years, or have part-time paid work experience of the same length. The provincial government claims that the occupation list may change at any time.

So, for the second category, the frequency of open quotas in NOVA province is relatively low, and the processing speed is relatively slow. Applicants who are interested in this need to prepare as early as possible.
