Canadian permanent resident ( maple leaf card holder), who has lived for three years within five years and passed the naturalization examination, can be naturalized in Canada and exchanged for the Canadian passport . So what are the benefits of holding a Canadian passport?
1️⃣ Canadian passport holders can enter 185 countries without visa. Japanese passport is the world's number one passport and can be visa-free in 193 countries. Singapore tied for second place with South Korea, with 192. The lowest-ranked passport is Afghanistan , which only allows 27 countries to enter without visa.
2️⃣ Once you have a Canadian passport, you can leave and enter Canada without any restrictions and no license or visa is required.
3️⃣ Once you have a Canadian passport, you are already a Canadian citizen and have the right to enjoy the rights and freedoms of all other Canadians, such as elections and suffrage. You will also find it easier to find a job, as there are some jobs in Canada that are not available to permanent residents (maple leaf card holders).
️ You no longer need to update your identity regularly. Those who choose to stay in Canada as permanent resident must update their identities to the IRCC every five years. This means no longer needs to submit an application or apply for an extension to the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Services (IRCC) of Canada.
️ If a Canadian citizen commits a crime, he will not be deprived of his citizenship. If a permanent resident (maple leaf card holder) commits a crime, he will be deprived of his identity and repatriated back to his original nationality.
The disadvantage of naturalization to Canada is that you need to give up your Chinese nationality because our country does not support the dual nationality policy. Once you give up, it is difficult to recover, and you need to apply for a visa every time you return to China.
