Five misunderstandings about maple leaf card by Canadian immigrants

Chapter one: Five misunderstandings about Maple Leaf Card by Canadian immigrants.

1. If the Maple Leaf Card fails to apply for renewal, the cardholder will automatically give up his permanent resident status.

Many people think that the maple leaf card matches the permanent resident status. When the maple leaf card expires, the permanent resident status is gone.

Maple leaf card is indeed proof of permanent resident status. However, even if the maple leaf card expires, it does not mean losing permanent resident status. But it should be noted that:

According to the regulations, all permanent residents must show their maple leaf cards to prove their identity when they arrive in Canada by commercial passenger plane or cruise ship.

CBSA officials are required to show sufficient identification when entering the country by air, land or sea, and a valid maple leaf card is the proof. Not only CBSA, but also other government agencies often need to confirm the permanent resident status before deciding whether the resident is eligible to apply for certain services.

2. Is it illegal to apply for a new maple leaf card before it expires?

It is not illegal to apply for a new maple leaf card after it expires, and you can even choose not to renew it. However, if permanent residents have plans to go abroad or return to Canada, the Immigration Department still suggests applying for a maple leaf card to prove their permanent resident status at any time.

3. If the Maple Leaf Card expires and you have not applied for a new card, you will not be able to leave or enter Canada.

You can still go abroad, but before you return to Canada, you must apply for a "permanent resident travel document" to return to Canada. Canada is a country without any exit control. Whether you have a maple leaf card or not, you can leave at any time without restrictions.

And as a permanent resident of Canada, you have the right to enter Canada, even if the maple leaf card has expired, its rights will not be affected. The Immigration Department said:

When the Maple Leaf Card expires and people go abroad, they need to apply for a one-time permanent resident travel document from the Canadian visa office abroad to return to China. Canadian immigration law stipulates that when you arrive in a country, you can prove that you are a permanent resident in any way, not necessarily a maple leaf card.

As long as you have a maple leaf card, you can go to any visa-free country in Canada without a visa.

Maple leaf card is not the same as passport or visa, nor can it be used to enter or leave other countries that need visas. Maple leaf card is to speed up the entry into Canada, not a visa. As for the visa requirements of individual passport holders in other countries, each country is different, so be sure to find out.

You don't need to show your maple leaf card to drive back to Canada by land.

When all permanent residents enter the country, they must show their certificates to the officials to prove their permanent resident status, and the maple leaf card is the certificate. If you fail to show your maple leaf card, the customs officer may ask you to show any of the following documents:

1. Completed "Permanent Resident Confirmation Form"

2, "immigration documents" originally

3. There is a copy of the immigration document officially confirmed by the National Headquarters of the Immigration Bureau.

4. A letter from the National Headquarters of the Immigration Bureau that can prove your permanent resident status.

Article 2 Canada's six majors suitable for immigrants

First, human resource management major

Recommended schools: York University, University of Toronto, University of Laurier, university of regina.

The major of human resource management in Canada developed earlier and was more mature. As Canada's developed economy attracts a large number of investments from multinational companies and needs a large number of human resource managers, the graduates of this major have broad employment prospects.

Second, the financial profession.

Recommended schools: University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, York University, University of Western Ontario.

Students majoring in finance can participate in financial management or enter the real estate industry. In recent years, Canada's economy is still good, and it still maintains a rich income in the capital market. In addition, many financial institutions now provide training opportunities for recruited business graduates.

Third, petroleum engineering.

Recommended schools: university of alberta, University of Calgary and university of regina.

At present, the employment rate of petroleum engineering students is almost 100%. Graduates of this major can develop in the direction of petroleum engineering and processing.

Four, mining engineering major

Recommended schools: Dalhousie University, Laurentian University, University of British Columbia, Cabrian College.

Canada is a mineral-rich country in the world, but its small population causes a shortage of relevant technicians. Basically, the employment rate and salary of mining engineering are very high in engineering majors.

Five, electronic communication technology major

Recommended schools: Thomson University, Deheng College and Centennial College.

At present, the average age of Canadian electricians is close to 50 years old, which leads to a shortage of skilled workers in Canada. Therefore, if you study electronic communication technology and other related majors, your employment prospects will be better and you will be more likely to emigrate after graduation.

Six, chemical engineering specialty

Recommended schools: McGill University, Queen's University and McMaster University.

From energy to food manufacturing, chemical engineers are needed in many industries. In addition, the Canadian job market is basically concentrated in the growing field of environmental protection, and chemical engineers can engage in various aspects related to soil remediation, environmental assessment and air quality monitoring.

Further reading: business immigration strategy in Saskatchewan, Canada

According to the new regulations, entrepreneurs nominated by Saskatchewan can start businesses in different economic fields. Compared with other types of commercial immigrants, which are limited to certain fields, such as agriculture and energy, the attitude of the Saskatchewan government is completely different.

The main change of entrepreneurs' migration in Saskatchewan is to learn from British Columbia's business model (work visa first, then migration) and Manitoba's business migration model, and retain Saskatchewan's model of using third-party institutions to audit applicants' assets and sources of funds. Its purpose should be to attract some applicants who are really willing to do business and settle in Saskatchewan and have a high chance of success. Although the application conditions and screening mode have been greatly adjusted, based on the attraction of the sustained economic development in Saskatchewan and the overall tightening of Canadian immigration programs, I believe it can still attract a considerable number of applicants.

Commercial immigrants in Saskatoon, Canada require applicants to invest at least 300,000 Canadian dollars in Saskatoon and Regina, or at least 200,000 Canadian dollars in other parts of Saskatoon; If you invest in Regina or Saskatoon, you must create at least 2 jobs for Canadian residents or permanent residents.
