Canadian green card, lived for 3 years in 5 years. Do you have any requirements in five years? If you don't become a Canadian citizen, you can stay permanently. Will your return to China be cancelled?

To keep a Canadian green card (actually called a maple leaf card in Canada), you need to live in Canada for two years every five years, which is what we often call Canada's "immigration supervisor".

As long as you don't become a Canadian citizen, you can always be a permanent resident of Canada, but enjoy the same welfare benefits as Canadian citizens (except the right to vote and stand for election). But the maple leaf card is valid for five years, so you need to change it every five years, which means you need to live in Canada for two years every five years.

Obtained a Canadian Maple Leaf Card, that is, a permanent resident of Canada, and can travel freely between China and Canada. You need a visa to enter Canada and return to China. Returning to China for settlement will be cancelled.

Evade immigration supervision

1. Accompany Canadian immigrant spouses to go abroad.

This is the most common method used by Canadian immigrants from China. According to the immigration regulations, when one spouse is a citizen and the other resident accompanies the citizen (spouse) from Canada to overseas, he is exempted from living in China.

The practice of many China immigrants is that their wives stay in Canada for three consecutive years to obtain citizenship, and their husbands return to China to do business. It doesn't matter if they can't live in Canada for two years out of five years. After the wife obtains Canadian immigrant citizenship and returns to China, the husband can regain Canadian immigrant permanent resident status by accompanying his wife.

After the husband's permanent residence expires, he needs to land in Canada for immigration once, this time not by virtue of the expired maple leaf card, but by virtue of the family reunion visa. This kind of family reunion visa is very easy, unlike the queuing period of American family reunion visa, which is as long as several years, because all the information of the applicant has been confirmed by the immigration bureau once, thus effectively avoiding the immigration supervision of Canadian investment immigrants.

2, by the Canadian immigration company stationed overseas.

Theoretically, the best way is to be hired by a Canadian immigration company and assigned to work in China, so the time spent working in China can also be counted as the time spent living in China.

Alternatively, if your spouse or parents (who have obtained permanent residency) are employed full-time by the Canadian Immigration Federal Public Service and live in China, you can accompany them to live in China as a family member without staying in Canada.

This method seems simple, but it has many risks and inconveniences. First of all, most people with business are unlikely to accept employment; Secondly, in the past practice, there were many frauds, and immigration officials investigated such cases very strictly.

Therefore, applicants need to submit many supporting documents, such as company business license, accounting report, employment contract signed with employees, payroll, income tax bill, etc. And explain why the company sent you to work abroad.
