Maple leaf card renewal requirements

If your Canadian company has no direct business relationship with China, you can't do anything about it. If you have business, you can issue your own company documents to prove that you have spent some time for the company's business in China, which can also be counted as time.

But on the whole, your situation is unlikely to even confront human beings, because six months is too far away from two years. Once the Immigration Department confirms that your situation can't meet the requirements, you have to apply for a long-term visit visa.

Question 2: Excuse me, the Canadian Maple Leaf Card has expired. What can people in China do to return to Canada? If you meet the requirement of living in Canada for two years within five years, you can apply for anti-adding paper. If you do not meet the residence requirements, it is equivalent to losing your immigration status and applying for a visit visa.

Question 3: How to leave the country when the Maple Leaf Card expires? Leave Canada? Or the territory of China?

If you are not in Canada (you are in Canada now), you don't need a maple leaf card when you leave the country.

If you are not in China (you are now in China and you are going to Canada), then you need to go to embassies and consulates in China, Canada to apply for a visa to Canada. Canada has a unique one-time entry visa, which is issued to Canadian permanent residents without a valid maple leaf card.

But please remember, if you haven't lived in Canada for two years in the past five years, don't apply for that kind of one-time entry visa, because it will probably lead to your being excluded from permanent residency because you haven't fulfilled your residency obligations.

Of course, you shouldn't have this problem. You said that your new maple leaf card is being processed, which just meets the conditions for applying for that one-time entry visa.

Question 4: Does the expiration of Maple Leaf Card mean the loss of permanent residency? Is there any way to continue to have permanent residency? Maple leaf card is actually equivalent to the concept of five-year multiple-entry visa and valid ID card. It is not exactly the same as the right of permanent residence. Expiration of maple leaf card means that you can't enter and leave Canada freely, but it doesn't mean losing your permanent residency. The right of permanent residence will only be lost if you commit a serious crime, are deprived, expelled or voluntarily give up, and will not be automatically lost with the expiration of the Maple Leaf Card.

There are residence time requirements for the renewal of Maple Leaf Card. If it meets the requirements, you can directly apply for replacing the Canadian maple leaf card. If you are outside Canada, you can apply for travel materials (equivalent to a visa) from the local Canadian embassy or consulate.

If you do not meet the residence time requirements and want to retain your identity, you need to enter Canada before the expiration of the Maple Leaf Card, and you can apply for renewal of the Maple Leaf Card after living in Canada. If it expires outside Canada, it will be very troublesome because you don't have a visa to return to Canada.

Generally speaking, PR Canada, who has lived in China for a long time, adopts the method of attaching to a Canadian company and sending the company to work in China to retain its identity. Taxes are paid normally in Canada, so the time in China is equivalent to that in Canada.

Question 5: Maple Leaf Card is in urgent need of returning to China. If your passport has not expired, of course, there is no problem returning to China.

But if the maple leaf card expires, it will be troublesome to come to Canada again. According to the current Canadian immigration law, permanent residents who fail to live in Canada for two years within five years will lose their immigration status.

Once a permanent resident cannot live for the time specified by the Canadian Immigration Department, if the permanent resident is in Canada, the immigration department official can issue a departure order, requiring the unqualified permanent resident to leave the country automatically.

Those who receive a departure order may appeal within 30 days according to law. If they don't appeal within the time limit, they can't appeal in the future. If a permanent resident was overseas at that time, an official of the Immigration Department would write to inform him that his permanent resident status had been lost. After receiving the letter, the victim can appeal to the Immigration Bureau within 60 days. Instructions on how to appeal will be attached to the notice. According to the instructions of the Immigration Department, if an overseas permanent resident wants to return to Canada to attend the above-mentioned hearing, the Overseas Visa Office will issue a one-time use and travel document required for returning to Canada.

According to the immigration law, cardholders who fail to live in accordance with the regulations will no longer be able to hold permanent resident status, except for the following three special circumstances.

During his departure from Canada, he had a nationality spouse to accompany him overseas; Or be employed by Canadian enterprises or Canada and sent to work overseas; Or the spouse is a permanent resident but is employed by a Canadian enterprise or Canada.

The above three categories of people will not lose their identity because they are not in Canada, but the time spent living overseas cannot be counted as the time required to apply for citizenship.

Documents required for extension of "Maple Leaf Card"

Expired maple leaf card (if it is still valid at the time of application, it will be returned when you get a new card);

Copy of valid passport;

One of the following identification documents: immigration paper/driver's license/student's ID card/copy of recent tax bill 1 year;

.2 photos;

For overseas permanent residents, the following supporting documents are required to extend the Maple Leaf Card (if applicable):

If the spouse or family member is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident living overseas, a document proving the spouse/relative relationship and a citizenship certificate of a Canadian citizen are required;

If the applicant or spouse is employed by a Canadian enterprise and sent to work overseas, proof of full-time work overseas is required;

At present, the extension of the "Maple Leaf Card" requires 3 to 3.5 months of trial.

Question 6: How can I apply for a visa to enter Canada after the Maple Leaf Card expires? If the residence conditions are met, the Maple Leaf Card can be renewed when it expires. If it doesn't meet the requirements and can't be renewed, then fill out an acceptance form for giving up the maple leaf card. Only after it is accepted by the Immigration Bureau can you formally renounce your permanent residence status, and then you can apply for a tourist visa as an official of China.

By the way, as long as there are no bad records left in the past files, you still have the right to apply for a maple leaf card again according to the formal process.

Question 7: Can I apply for a tourist visa when the Maple Leaf Card of a Canadian permanent resident expires? First of all, the expiration of the maple leaf card does not mean that you have lost your permanent resident status in Canada.

If you are abroad and need travel documents to return to Canada, you should apply for a permanent resident re-entry visa from the Overseas Visa Office instead of a tourist visa. Immigration officials will check whether the applicant has fulfilled his residence obligations (two years out of five years) before issuing a re-entry visa to Canada. Those who meet the living conditions will be issued with an R- 1 visa. You can return to Canada normally with this visa and apply to the Immigration Bureau for a replacement of the maple leaf card. If it is found that the residence obligation has not been fulfilled, a re-entry visa of RC- 1 (or RX- 1, RA- 1) will be issued, and they will be informed of their right to appeal to the Immigration Appeal Court within 60 days. You can appeal within the time limit and return to Canada to appear in court with this visa, otherwise you will lose your permanent resident status.

If you don't want to keep your permanent resident status in Canada, or you can't meet your permanent resident obligations, or you don't want to wait for overseas immigration officials to judge whether you meet the requirements of permanent resident status, you can also fill out IMM5782 form and apply for voluntary renunciation of permanent resident status, and submit it to the Beijing Embassy, Shanghai Consulate General, Hong Kong Consulate General (if you are in China) or Ottawa Processing Center (if you are in Canada) with photos and valid passports (expired maple leaf cards are not required). The consequence of this will be the direct loss of permanent resident status, and there is no right to appeal. After that, you can apply for a short-term residence visa for tourism or other purposes as a foreigner in accordance with normal procedures.

Please also note that the application for voluntary renunciation of permanent resident status and the application for short-term resident visa cannot be submitted at the same time. If you apply in writing, please submit two applications in two different envelopes.

Question 8: The Maple Leaf Card has expired, and it has been four months since the application for renewal was submitted to the Immigration Bureau. Why are the query results still being processed? Canadian immigration law stipulates the renewal of maple leaf card:

1. The obligation of permanent residents is: after living in Canada for two years in any five years, they are eligible to obtain a new maple leaf card for the next five years;

2. The cycle of applying for a new maple leaf card is usually about 3 to 6 months;

3. After the new maple leaf card is approved, the Canadian Immigration Bureau will send the applicant a notice of acceptance of the new maple leaf card within four to six weeks;

4. The approved new maple leaf card will be kept for the applicant for 65,438+080 days. After 65,438+080 days, the new Maple Leaf Card will be sent back to the Maple Leaf Card Examination Center for destruction;

Canadian immigration laws define citizenship:

1. Canadian citizens' residence obligations for naturalization are: after living in Canada for three years in any four years, they are eligible to apply for naturalization in Canada;

2. The application period for Canadian citizenship is about 18 months;

After the application is passed, you will take the naturalization test and interview. After passing the examination and interview, take the oath of naturalization;

Since the most important factor for Canadian permanent residents to keep the maple leaf card is to check whether the applicant has lived for two years in the first five years from the date of application, the time when the applicant becomes a permanent resident and the expiration time of the maple leaf card will have important reference value for making plans to keep the maple leaf card. Jiafeng International will work out different solutions according to different applicants for renewal of Maple Leaf Card.

Situation 1: permanent residents begin to prepare maple leaf cards as soon as they land.

It is considered to be the wisest choice to make preparations to keep the maple leaf card for the next five years when the applicant has just landed in Canada. Because there are still five years before the expiration date of the maple leaf card, the applicant will have enough time to prepare for keeping the maple leaf card in the future. In addition to successfully keeping the Maple Leaf Card, it will also create favorable conditions for naturalization in this five-year cycle. Permanent residents who have just landed in Canada can start to prepare residence evidence in advance, so that they can provide it to the Canadian Immigration Bureau when necessary in the future as evidence to prove that they have fulfilled their relevant residence obligations in Canada.

Situation 2: Permanent residents will leave their maple leaf cards in Canada for two to three years.

When the maple leaf card of the maple leaf cardholder is still valid for two to three years, the cardholder can consider changing the card at this time. This card replacement method is a relatively safe way to protect the maple leaf card. That is to say, if the maple leaf card is replaced at this time, no matter how long the applicant has lived in Canada in the past two to three years, the applicant still has at least two years to live in Canada, which is enough to meet the legal requirements of the Immigration Bureau for fulfilling the two-year residence obligation within five years.

Therefore, for those permanent residents who still have two to three years of validity and may leave Canada for a long time in the next two years, it is very necessary to replace a new maple leaf card before leaving Canada.

For details, please refer to Fengka or call 4006066726.

Situation 3: Permanent residents whose Maple Leaf Card is about to expire will protect the Maple Leaf Card.

When the maple leaf card of Canadian permanent residents is about to expire 6- 12 months ago, it needs to be prepared to apply for replacing the maple leaf card, because the Canadian immigration department needs to prepare the application materials in advance, prepare the application photos of the maple leaf card, pay the application fee for the maple leaf card, apply to the immigration department for mailing a new maple leaf card application form, fill in the application form for the new maple leaf card, and then submit the application for the maple leaf card to the immigration department. The new maple leaf card application enters the immigration office and waits in line for the approval of the maple leaf card. After the new maple leaf card is approved, wait for the notice of receiving the new maple leaf card issued by the immigration bureau, and prepare to receive the new maple leaf card or wait for the immigration bureau to mail the new maple leaf card. The whole process takes nearly six months, and most permanent residents in Canada take plans to protect the expiring maple leaf cards. Although this method is relatively safe, due to the tight time, in the application process, once there are mistakes in some links and the Immigration Bureau requests supplementary materials, the application time of the new maple leaf card will be delayed and the maple leaf card will expire.

Situation 4: Emergency protection before the expiration of the permanent resident maple leaf card.

When the validity period of the maple leaf card for Canadian permanent residents is less than 3 months, if the application is made according to the process of applying for renewal of the maple leaf card in the conventional way, the old maple leaf card may expire in the process of approving the new maple leaf card, and once the old maple leaf card expires, the applicant cannot handle it in the conventional way ... >>

Question 9: The maple leaf card is about to expire, and it has not been filled in for two years. What should I do? Entry is ok, but if you can't prove that you have filled the required number of days, you can't get a new maple leaf card. What you can't change is that you don't have the status of permanent resident in Canada. You can't change it for another 2-3 years. If you are caught cheating, even if you have obtained a new maple leaf card or citizenship, they will cancel it

Question 10: With China passport, Maple Leaf Card has expired. How to apply for a US 10 year round-trip visa in China? You can apply at the embassy according to the normal procedure. If the visa officer asks, he can answer directly and truthfully. Maple Leaf Card is a document for entering and leaving Canada, which does not mean that the immigration status has been cancelled. For example, if you are working in China now, you only need to provide China's employment certificate, financial certificate and other supporting documents. Signing or not has little to do with whether the maple leaf card was used or not.
