Remember to bring two proof of life in Canada.

I know an old man from China who came to Canada from Southeast Asia many years ago. He warned me that the most important thing to come to Canada is to get it as soon as possible? Two photos? Canadian driver's license and Canadian passport.

Yeah, the first one? Photos? I have no objection; But what about the second one? Photos? I strongly disagree. This is not a song. Patriotic? To be honest, I think it's really inconvenient to get a Canadian passport.

Hehe, you may laugh after hearing it: I heard people complain that China passport is not easy to use, is Canadian passport inconvenient? Never heard of it!

Figure 1: Canadian passport style. With this small blueprint, it is said that you can go to 120 countries without a visa.

It is a fact that China passports cannot be moved around the world without visas. According to experts studying in Canada, Canadian passports are unimpeded in hundreds of countries around the world. But no one will wander around the world all day. I'm afraid I'll stay at home honestly more often. For Chinese in Canada, the problem of what passport to use when going home is faced. It's really troublesome to take out a Canadian passport at this time.

First, you must apply for a visa at the China Embassy. You know, Canada does not grant visa-free access to China passports, and China does not grant visa-free access to Canadian passports. Visa exemption? This kind of treatment has always been reciprocal.

Moreover, the visa is valid, even if it is a multiple-entry visa a year, it can only stay for 90 days at a time. On that day, if you want to leave the country, even if you just go back to Hong Kong for a turn, you should go there.

Visa is just a minor problem, and the bigger problem is that you can only stay in China? Enjoy? Treatment of foreigners: if you want to find a job, it depends on whether the other party has permission to hire foreign employees; If you want to buy a house, you must first understand the restrictions on foreigners buying a house; Children can only attend international schools with sky-high tuition fees; As for it? Three insurances and one gold? Don't even think about it. You've earned half your life in China.

I have an acquaintance, who is young. She sang in Canada and returned to Korea after naturalization. Xiao took a risk, put his Canadian passport in his pocket, and still returned to China with his China passport. Wandering home, China Customs border inspection will certainly not embarrass her. After successfully entering the customs, Xiao continued to live a happy life in the old house in China.

Although I had a good time in China, I was very upset when I thought of two passports in my pocket: which passport should I use to go to Canada again?

Those who brought back China passports also let China passports go out? No, when you become a Canadian citizen and get a Canadian passport, your Maple Leaf Card (Canadian Permanent Resident Card) will be taken away. China Customs won't let you through without a passport.

And take out your Canadian passport? No, this passport has no entry stamp of China Customs. The whole thing? Black passport? It doesn't work.

Xiao Ya thinks, how about this: get a visa for a third country with a China passport, travel to a third country, and then go to Canada with a Canadian passport from the third country? If you think about it carefully, you will leave an illegal record in a third country: China passport holders have never left the country after entering the country, which is illegal detention (because they leave the country with Canadian passports).

Along this line of thought, little boy, keep digging. How about this: leave the country with a China passport and a third-country visa, get a China passport on the plane, enter the third country with a Canadian passport after landing, and then leave the country with a Canadian passport and fly to Canada, thus solving the problem of entering and leaving the third country without a passport. I said to the little boy, I'm afraid this trick won't work either. Tell the other person's nationality when buying a plane ticket. This information should appear on the computer of the border police of a third country. When you hand in your passport, people will find that this person came from China when he got on the plane. How did he change to Canadian after getting off the plane?

This one won't work, and neither will that one. What shall we do? Let the young man think about it slowly. Anyway, when she entered the customs, she used a China passport, and the Canadian passport was hidden. There are indications that she is still from China and will not be blown away by the police and urban management for a while.

See the embarrassment of getting a Canadian passport?

Figure 2: China also sends it to foreigners? Permanent residence card? , but far more than the United States? Green card? Canada? Maple leaf card? It is much harder.

Speaking of which, I think of a digression. I find that many friends in China don't understand? Emigrate abroad? With what? Join a foreign nationality? The difference between them is that when someone immigrates, it is assumed that the person is no longer from China. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Take immigration to Canada as an example. People moved to Canada, but? Canadian permanent resident? If they are still from China and their passports are changed to Canadian ones, it can be said that they are not from China, because China does not recognize dual nationality.

Sometimes it is rumored on the Internet that a star has emigrated, and some netizens will start to scold him and say that he is unpatriotic. Will the stars come out at this time? Rumors? :? I come from China, and all my fans are in China. How can I be a foreigner? I am still a citizen of China! ? So netizens are relieved:? I was wrong about him. He has no immigrants. ? In fact, one is talking about the front gatehouse, and the other is talking about the hip axis, which is completely different.

And the embarrassment of going back to get your passport.

I saw someone cursing China passport online. Rubbish? Because China passport is one of the most difficult passports in the world, few countries grant visa-free treatment. In fact, it's not the China passport itself, nor the countries that don't grant visa-free treatment to China passports, but the problems of some people who use China passports. It is a large number of illegal immigrants and illegal residents who have damaged the international reputation of China passport.

Of course, it's not that China people like smuggling more than people from other countries, but that they can't stand the fact that there are too many people in China. As long as one decimal point is removed, half of the small and medium-sized countries can be filled. Therefore, some wise western politicians pointed out that we should not always expect chaos in China. If there is chaos in China, the whole world will have no good fruit to eat.

Actually, it's a little more troublesome to travel internationally with a China passport, but it's not really difficult? Rubbish? The degree of. Canadian study abroad experts pointed out that generally speaking, it is very pleasant for China people with good reputation and China passports to apply for foreign tourist visas. Everyone welcomes tourists, not to mention China tourists who are famous for their bulging pockets and generous hands.

If you have these three kinds of visas in your China passport, you can basically apply for visas from other countries in the world. What three kinds? American visa, British visa, Schengen visa.

A friend of mine, whose whole family likes traveling, has also been to eight countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. I wanted to visit Western Europe in the Spring Festival the year before last and issue a visa to the Italian Embassy. As a result, both husband and wife signed it, but the children in junior high school didn't. The travel agency that sent it said that the visa officer probably thought the child was suspected of studying abroad. There are so many Asian, African and Latin American visas in the passport, all of them will not work. If there is an American visa on it, will you try imperialism? Children still follow America, Britain and Europe.

The Canadian government sent it to immigrants? Maple leaf card? In fact, it is equivalent to a Canadian permanent resident visa. Someone once asked online: Which countries can enjoy visa-free treatment with China passport and maple leaf card?

The question comes out, but it is a slap in the face: Do you think that if you have a maple leaf card, your China passport will be labeled with a gold label? Visa exemption depends on your passport, maple leaf card is useless!

On the other hand, some countries and regions really grant China passport Maple Leaf Card special visa-free or landing visa treatment. These countries and regions include: Mexico, Bahamas, Bermuda, Costa Rica, Dominica, Panama, Jamaica, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Philippines, South Korea and Singapore.

You may laugh, most of the above are small countries that have never even heard their names. Do not underestimate them. They are all resorts in Central America and the Caribbean. Otherwise, why don't they grant visa-free treatment to non-Canadian citizens who hold maple leaf cards? People don't want to lose this huge customer base.

In addition, although the United States has not promised to grant visa-free treatment to China passports with maple leaf cards, it is easy to obtain multiple-entry tourist visas for the United States with maple leaf cards and China passports, which are valid for up to ten years.

Is the American visa awesome? It's not awesome, it's affordable. It's convenient to travel to America. It's cheaper to make a bottle of soy sauce in America than in Canada.

Figure 3: Canada sends it to foreigners? Permanent resident card? Because it has a maple leaf pattern on it, it is also called? Maple leaf card? .

To sum up, getting a China passport or a Canadian passport is embarrassing for newcomers in China. However, it's better to have trouble when going out than at home, right? So don't look at someone cursing China passport online? Rubbish? You just changed your Canadian passport, and many people are still unwilling to change it.

According to the data disclosed by the Canadian Immigration Bureau, the number of China immigrants from Chinese mainland is increasing year by year, but the number of people applying for naturalization has decreased by half in four years.
