Canadian immigrant maple leaf cards no longer need to be collected by themselves.

The Canadian Immigration Department just issued an announcement on April 27th, which changed the requirement for me to collect the Maple Leaf Card and mailed it to the local address filled in at the time of application. The announcement pointed out that from April 30, 90% of applicants who do not need further investigation no longer need to collect them in person, but will be mailed directly by the Immigration Department. Besides, pay? Astronaut? At the same time, the Immigration Department will increase the proportion of applications requiring further investigation from 2.5% to 5%. The maple leaf card is valid for five years. Whether it is the first time to apply for a maple leaf card or the second time to apply for a maple leaf card five years later, it must be passed. Residence test? However, many immigrants who hold maple leaf cards have no time to collect them in person during the card exchange time. In response to this problem, the Canadian Immigration Bureau recently sent good news that the maple leaf card does not need to be collected in person, and the Canadian maple leaf card is similar to the American green card.

April 30th, probation period 1 year.

The announcement pointed out that the large-scale mailing of maple leaf renewal cards is currently a pilot program, and whether to continue mailing will be evaluated after one year. In the second case, the unqualified person is issued a one-year card, and after investigation, his application for card replacement is rejected and he is required to leave the country. At this time, the Immigration Department may still issue a maple leaf card with a validity period of one year instead of a new card with a validity period of five years. On the other hand, if the applicant can't be contacted during the investigation, after six months, the application will be regarded as abandoned and the Immigration Bureau will not issue the card again. Australian immigration experts suggest that if the applicant temporarily changes his address without notifying the Immigration Bureau, the applicant should go to the Immigration Bureau to get the maple leaf card in person within six months. Applicants don't have to worry about not getting their cards in the mail. When the Canadian Immigration Bureau issued this regulation, it was clearly stipulated that if the applicant did not receive the maple leaf card, the General Post Office of Canada should send it back to the case handling center of the Immigration Department, and the immigration officer would try to find a new address. Immigration pointed out that before April 30th, all new maple leaf cards must be collected by me in the immigration office. According to statistics, about 2.5% of the applications need further investigation by the Immigration Department. However, after the start of the pilot program, due to changes in the criteria for deciding whether to send it for investigation, the proportion that needs further investigation is expected to double to 5%. As for how to change the bid, the announcement did not explain. In view of some temporary and important matters that need to return to the original place of residence, the emergency application for replacing the maple leaf card is also included in the scope of this pilot. Among the applicants who don't need to investigate, 90% don't need to collect the cards in person, but use the mail, and only 65,438+00% of the applicants will be required to collect them in person. In addition, the processing order of emergency applications is the same as before. First come, first trial? The principle has not changed. For applicants who need to be investigated, the possible investigation results are also clearly stated in the announcement. First of all, if the survey results show that there is no situation that the immigration officer considers that it is not eligible for permanent residence, then the Immigration Department will still issue a new card with a validity period of five years, which will also be mailed to the applicant's address.
