How to obtain permanent residency and maple leaf card by immigrating to Canada?

As we all know, there are two kinds of immigrants in Canada: skilled immigrants and investment immigrants. Many people also know that immigrants only get permanent residence and maple leaf cards through these two mines, but you may not know how to get permanent residence and maple leaf cards. Many applicants are confused about how to truly obtain permanent residence status in Canada. In fact, there are many details you don't know.

Usually you get Canadian status through us, that is, after the Canadian Embassy approves your application, it will send you a large envelope. There are two things in it: passport visa (with a visa to enter Canada on it)+landing paper (equivalent to Canadian birth certificate).

Usually, the validity period of an entry visa is generally six months to one year. Applicants need to enter Canada within one year and can enter from any port in Canada. For example, when you enter the country from the airport, wharf or Niagara Falls on the border between the United States and Canada, CBSA of the Canadian Border Agency will review your entry visa. After the audit, you will enter the immigration office at the port (usually next to the border inspection), and the immigration officer will look at your landing paper and ask you some simple questions, such as age, where you come from and so on. You will be asked to provide a Canadian residential address to receive your maple leaf card.

"You may ask, didn't you give me a maple leaf card on the spot? Why do you need to mail it?

In fact, it takes time to make maple leaf cards in Canada, just like renewing ID cards in China. It usually takes about a month to make a maple leaf card. After the production is completed, it will be mailed to your address in Canada. Of course, immigration won't check whether you really live there. You can get a maple leaf card with your friend's address or short rent's address. "

Remember, in the immigration office at the port, in addition to activating your immigration status and handling the maple leaf card receiving address, you also need to handle a SIN number. SIN is similar to Canada's social security number, one for each person. In the future, you will need this card number to apply for a health card, find a job, file tax returns and so on.

There is still a lot of information in the office of the port immigration bureau. For example, the landing guide for new immigrants, the address of English training institutions, the social welfare application guide and so on. You can fill a bag.

After leaving the immigration port, the applicant can start a new life in Canada with his luggage.

You may also ask, after entering Canada, will you live in Canada for a long time? The answer is no.

As we mentioned earlier, the visa given to you by the embassy is valid for one year. You must enter Canada once a year to activate your immigration status. After activation, you can go back to China to continue your work and life. Because after activation, the first validity period of immigration status is five years. As long as you live in Canada for two years within five years, you can retain your immigration status.

I just returned to China ten days after my first trip, and I haven't received the maple leaf card yet. What should I do? You can entrust a friend in Canada to send it back to China by international express after receiving the maple leaf card. Just get the maple leaf card next time you enter the country.

If you still want to become a Canadian citizen, that is, hold a Canadian passport, you need to live in Canada for three years within six years after the first activation of your identity before you can apply. If you don't apply for naturalization, you need to live for two years every five years to keep your identity.

You may ask again, if you don't naturalize and only hold a maple leaf card, what's the difference with Canadians? The answer is not much difference. You can enjoy all the benefits in Canada, such as milk money, social security, medical care and so on. It's just that you have no right to vote and stand for election.

Of course, entering the country for the first time, activating your identity, and applying for a maple leaf card and social security card are just one of the processes for you to become a permanent resident of Canada. There is a more complicated relationship between maple leaf card and permanent residence status. For example, the expiration of the maple leaf card does not mean that your permanent residence status has expired. If you are not clear, you can consult me and explain them to everyone.
