Interpretation of Canadian Maple Leaf Card Policy

20 18 according to the current immigration law in Canada, you will have a Canadian maple leaf card after becoming a permanent resident. Let me first talk about the interpretation of Canada's maple leaf card policy. Let's have a look.

Canadian Maple Leaf Card is a document issued by Canada to immigrants with permanent residency in Canada. Having a Canadian maple leaf card means that you have permanent residency in Canada.

Canadian naturalization refers to applying for Canadian citizenship, renouncing China citizenship, becoming a Canadian citizen, holding a Canadian passport and a Canadian identity card, and enjoying all the rights of a Canadian citizen.

According to the current immigration law in Canada, after becoming a permanent resident, you are eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship if you have lived for three years within five years. On the issue of dual nationality, unlike many other countries and regions, China's laws do not recognize dual nationality by means of recognition, acquiescence or no special mention. Article 3 of China's Nationality Law stipulates: "People's Republic of China (PRC) does not recognize dual citizenship of China citizens".

If you choose to change your nationality and hold Canadian citizenship, many countries can be exempted from visas; With China nationality, people will always encounter embarrassment when entering or leaving the country, which is a familiar scene for many overseas friends. Of course, there are many troubles in changing nationality. When you go to China for a period of time, you must go back to the embassy where your nationality is located and apply for a new visa. In fact, nationality, once a symbol of loyalty, seems to have become a convenient tool for many people to travel.

Everyone will have their own choice, or choose to keep the maple leaf card, or choose naturalization, because of family, business, children and other reasons. In fact, there has never been an absolute criterion for naturalization or keeping a maple leaf card. How to choose really depends on personal needs.

If you like to get involved in politics, please apply for naturalization.

With PR card, you can fully enjoy social welfare and medical insurance. But the owner of PR card has no right to vote and stand for election.

If you are keen on participating in Canadian politics, want to vote for the political party you trust, or even want to try politics yourself, it is necessary to apply for naturalization.

If you like traveling as soon as you leave, please apply for naturalization.

This is the biggest reason for many naturalization applicants-Canadian passports. As we all know, Canadian passports are visa-free in western countries, such as Europe.

Having a Canadian passport is really "just leave", rather than trying to get a visa first. Because of this, many tourists are moved and choose naturalization.

If you want to return to China frequently, please keep the PR card first.

When you become a Canadian citizen, you have nothing to do with a China citizen. Whether you are going back to China for business or visiting relatives, you have to go to the embassy to apply for a Chinese visa, and you have to pay a fee every time.

Even, not a few people were refused visas for a ridiculous reason: you have an immigrant tendency. Therefore, if you have a family or career in China and need to return to China frequently, it is better not to apply for naturalization first. Although it is not complicated to apply for a tourist visa to China, the restrictions of rules and regulations will still make you feel: I am obviously from China, why am I so wronged when I go back to the second country?

If you love going to America, there is little difference between naturalization and PR.

Canada's core cities are all on the US-Canada border, so naturally a group of people will frequently travel to the United States. From this perspective, the difference is not great. If you are naturalized in Canada, you can naturally be exempted from visas; But even if you have a PR card, you can apply for a 10 tourist visa.

The process is very simple, usually it can be done in a few days. Therefore, from the perspective of going to the United States, PR is not much different from naturalization.

Advantages of Canadian PR card compared with temporary visa;

Temporary visas refer to visas for short-term stay in Canada, such as study visas, tourist visas and work visas. Compared with these visas, the main advantages of the Canadian PR card are:

Although you still need to apply for a visa to travel or study abroad, the procedure will be much simplified.

It will take a long time, even if it is not renewed, the PR card will give you at least 5 years.

Travel freely between China and Canada and enjoy the convenience of self-service customs clearance.

Enjoy full Canadian benefits and will not be treated differently.

Advantages of Canadian citizenship compared with Canadian PR card:

As mentioned earlier, compared with PR card, the advantages of nationality mainly lie in:

Nearly 130 countries are exempt from visas and travel around the world.

Can work in the national political and legal units.

Have the right to vote and stand for election.

Generally speaking, from the perspective of promotion, it is a great promotion from temporary visa to PR card, but there is not much difference between PR card and nationality. Therefore, when choosing between naturalization and PR, we should think about where we plan to develop in the future, consider personal needs and family situation, and make a rational choice.
