The difference between Canadian immigration status and citizenship

I feel that it is not reliable to get a maple leaf card after working for three months. It seems that the immigration policy has become very strict now. If you immigrate with forged materials, you will be fine if you are not caught (or can't find it). Once it is discovered, it will be very troublesome.

Even if you get a maple leaf card, you have to live for three years in five years, as the upstairs said, and then pass all the exams (young people also require English) to get citizenship. By the way, if you want to go back to China after obtaining citizenship (that is, you have a Canadian passport), you have to spend money to get a visa every time, and it only takes three months at a time, which is quite troublesome, but you can go to more than 0/00 countries without a visa.

If you only take immigration status (that is, maple leaf card, but also keep China nationality and China passport), many people are like this. They don't need to apply for a visa every time they return to China, but their stay in Canada is stipulated (because they have to change their maple leaf cards every few years). Otherwise, they are likely to lose their permanent resident status.

Apart from passports and voting rights, there is not much difference in welfare rights between basic immigrants and citizens.

In addition, the maple leaf card is more accurately called PRC card.
