In addition, Canadian maple leaf card holders can still enjoy all benefits and rights in China.

Canadian naturalized persons: they can have Canadian passports and enjoy all kinds of rights brought by Canadian passports, such as visa-free or landing visa rights in more than 70 countries and regions around the world, and enjoy any rights of Canadian citizens, including political rights.
