Excuse me, does receiving a notice of landing after applying for immigration in Canada mean that I am a Canadian citizen? When can I receive the maple leaf card?

1. After receiving the landing notice, you must submit your passport to the Canadian Embassy to apply for a visa and enter Canada within the validity period of the visa, which is considered to activate your immigration status. Therefore, after receiving the landing notice, it does not mean that you are a Canadian citizen or even an immigrant, because you have not activated your immigration status.

When you enter Canada for the first time, the immigration officer will ask you to provide a Canadian residence address and telephone number for mailing maple leaf cards, and write this address on your immigration paper. If you have no relatives or friends in Canada, find a safe and willing family hotel and collect maple leaf cards. But tell the immigration officer that you live at this address and collect it yourself, because maple leaf cards are not allowed to be collected. If it goes well, the Maple Leaf Card will be mailed to the address you provided within 1.5-3 months. There is no other way. If you don't go to Canada to activate your immigration status in person, you will never receive a maple leaf card.

3. You can apply for naturalization only after you have successfully obtained immigration status (after activation, you will stay for 2 years within 5 years to retain legal immigration status) and stay in Canada for 3 years within 4 years (1 day is essential, counting the accumulated days). Naturalization requires exams and oaths. A year or so. When you are naturalized, the government will take back your maple leaf card and you can get a Canadian passport. Maple leaf card is to prove your immigration status, so it is completely invalid. Canada has no identity card, but uses social security card and driver's license to prove its identity.

4. The landing notice will tell you how to hand in your passport, mail it to the embassy far from the effective date, and deliver it to the embassy in person when the effective date approaches. The effective date is one year after the date of medical examination. For example, if you have a physical examination on 20101,you must get a visa to enter Canada before September 30th, 201. If the embassy doesn't issue you a visa before September 30th, 1 1, you need to have a medical examination again, pay the medical examination fee and continue to wait. If the embassy issued you a visa, even if it was issued on September 29th, and you failed to enter Canada on September 30th, then unfortunately, your immigration application was a complete failure. This situation is extreme, so it has never happened. However, I have seen examples where the visa issuance date is only 20 days from the effective date, and I am also very nervous.
