Maple Leaf Card needs enough teenagers to stay in Canada.

1. How long is the residence requirement of Maple Leaf Card in Canada?

Permanent resident for more than 5 years: In the past 5 years, you must have actually lived in Canada for more than 730 days.

Here we need to accurately understand the meaning of "730 days", that is, every time we enter Canada, we will calculate the time of the past five years to see if this time meets the requirements of living in Canada for 730 days. If you are a permanent resident for less than 5 years, you must prove that it is still possible to actually live in Canada for at least 730 days.

1. What are the requirements for "residence"?

(1) I actually live in Canada;

(2) Working overseas for a Canadian company (registered in Canada with a record of going concern) or a Canadian government agency, and the time spent living abroad at this time is regarded as the time spent living in Canada;

(3) Living overseas with a spouse with Canadian nationality. At this time, the time of living abroad is also regarded as the time of living in Canada.

2. How about living for two years in five years?

(1) The applicant has lived for two years within five years from the date of applying for extension of Maple Leaf Card;

(2) Within five years from each entry into Canada. As long as it can be proved that any backward way can meet the requirement of living for two years through one of the above three ways of living, then the requirement of living for two years will be met within five years.

Second, what identity did you get?

Immigrants who get Canadian maple leaf cards are permanent residents of Canada, not Canadian citizens. Only by becoming a Canadian citizen can you become a Canadian citizen. At that time, there will be no "immigration supervision", which means that there will be no residence requirements and restrictions after becoming a Canadian citizen.

3. How does the Immigration Bureau check the living conditions?

If you want to apply for a new maple leaf card in Zhangxin, or you need to apply for a permanent resident travel document due to various emergencies (such as forgetting or losing the maple leaf card), your residence will be tested.

In addition, when you return to Canada, your living conditions will also be tested. Of course, not every entry inspection will be so strict, but once the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) finds that your actual situation may not meet the "residence obligation", it may apply for verification and ask you to provide a residence certificate.

The "Maple Leaf Card" is just a document that can prove the identity of permanent residents. Even if the maple leaf card is still within the validity period, it does not mean that the "residence obligation" must be met. The validity period of the maple leaf card shall not be used as a condition for judging whether it meets the "residence obligation".
