The difference between Canadian immigration document and green card

After all the information and conditions of the applicant are qualified, the Canadian Immigration Department will issue a "Canadian Immigration Visa" to the applicant, that is, a "Canadian Immigration Paper".

Canadian immigration documents are legal visas for applicants to enter Canada. With Canadian immigration documents, applicants can leave their original country of residence and declare to Canadian customs or ports, which is called "entry and landing". At this time, the Canadian immigration officer will sign the "immigration document" and give the applicant a page. This page becomes the legal status of the applicant to settle in Canada for a long time, which is equivalent to a "green card". Canadian immigrants who hold such documents are called "Canadian permanent residents" in Canada, but they continue to hold passports issued by their original countries of residence.

According to Canadian law, Canadian immigrants enjoy the same rights as Canadian citizens in business, employment, further education, social and medical benefits, and should also bear the same obligations as Canadian citizens, such as paying taxes according to regulations and obeying laws and regulations. In Canada, there is no difference between "permanent residents" and "Canadian residents" in business employment, further study and social medical benefits.

Canadian immigrants who have lived in Canada for three years can apply to become "Canadian citizens" and obtain Canadian passports if they have no major criminal negligence. There is no limit to the validity of the "green card" or "permanent resident status" held by Canadian immigrants. As long as it does not violate Canadian laws and regulations, you can maintain your "green card" for decades, or you can not apply for "Canadian citizen" status. Canada recognizes dual or multiple nationality.

The government of China prohibits its citizens from maintaining dual citizenship. Therefore, once Chinese mainland immigrants have settled in Canada for three years and obtained Canadian citizenship, they will lose their China citizenship and will no longer be governed and protected by China laws.
