How to maintain Canadian identity after returning to China to develop after getting a maple leaf card

According to Canadian law, new immigrants must have lived in Canada for two years in five years before they can maintain their immigration status. If you don't actually live in Canada for more than 73 days during the five-year period, as long as you meet the following conditions, you will be deemed to have fulfilled your residence obligations:

1. Living outside Canada with a spouse with Canadian citizenship (such as a husband accompanying his wife or a wife accompanying his husband); ?

2. The spouse is a full-time employee sent overseas by a Canadian enterprise or a full-time public servant sent overseas by a Canadian government department;

3. I am a full-time employee sent overseas by a Canadian enterprise or a full-time official sent overseas by a Canadian government department;

as long as one of the above three conditions is met, even if you don't live in Canada, you can still live in Canada.

It should be noted that:

(1) Accompanying a Canadian spouse or a full-time expatriate spouse must be able to prove that they live together. For example, if the spouse is Canadian, but the spouse lives in Canada and China, then this situation cannot be regarded as a spouse living in Canada. ?

(2) In the case of accompanying a spouse, it is necessary to provide proof of the relationship between the two persons, for example, their marriage certificates have been translated into English and notarized. There is no supporting document that can prove the relationship between two people, and it cannot be done in this way.

(3) Although the time spent with your spouse overseas or living abroad can be regarded as living in Canada, the application submitted to the Immigration Bureau is required to be submitted in Canada. If an application is submitted outside Canada, the Canadian Immigration Service will not accept it.
