Did you become a Canadian Chinese after immigrating to Canada? Or do you only have a Canadian green card?

Canadian Chinese refers to Chinese who have joined Canadian citizenship, but not all China people who immigrate to Canada are Canadian Chinese. People who have just immigrated to Canada are generally called "permanent residents". Their nationality is still China nationality, and they hold maple leaf cards. This card can enter and leave Canada indefinitely within five years, and they can also enjoy almost all Canadian national policies (such as social welfare) except voting and being elected. Permanent residents can apply for Canadian citizenship as long as they live for three consecutive years (not three consecutive years). If they don't want to be naturalized, they can renew their maple leaf cards before they expire.
