据加拿大《星岛日报》综合报道，加拿大移民、难民和公民部(IRCC)日前宣布，从2022年9月23日起，大部分永久居民申请项目将从纸质递送正式转向数字化在线递送，实现移民系统现代化，进一步提高服务质量。这意味着加拿大移民申请将得到全面加速。加拿大移民部已经为永久居民们开放了网申续卡通道，以后枫叶卡、PR卡及入籍卡申请或更新都更便捷容易。

The Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship of Canada (IRCC) announced that from September 23, 2022, the majority of permanent resident applications will be officially transferred from paper to digital online delivery, modernizing the immigration system and further improving service quality, according to a comprehensive report by Sing Tao Daily. This means that Canadian immigration applications will be accelerated across the board. Immigration Canada has opened an online renewal channel for permanent residents, making it easier to apply for and renew Maple Leaf, PR and naturalization cards.

众所周知，加拿大永久居民卡（Canada Permanent Resident Card），也称枫叶卡或永居卡或PR卡，是加拿大政府发放的一种永久居民身份证明文件，有效期通常为五年，类似于美国的绿卡。无论通过哪种方式移民加拿大，枫叶卡每五年都需要更新一次。想要成功延续永居身份，还需要满足五年内居住满两年的规定。传统的续卡方式要求申请人通过邮寄的方式，将所需的所有文件一次性寄给移民局，等移民局审核完毕后领取新的枫叶卡。在这个过程中，申请人需要度过漫长的邮寄时间和材料丢失的风险。

The Canada Permanent Resident Card, also known as the Maple Leaf Card or Permanent Resident Card or PR Card, is a form of Permanent Resident status document issued by the Canadian government. It is usually valid for five years, similar to the green Card in the United States. Regardless of the method of immigration to Canada, the Maple Leaf card needs to be renewed every five years. In order to successfully renew the permanent residence status, you also need to meet the residency requirement of two out of five years. The traditional renewal method requires the applicant to mail all the required documents to the immigration office at one time, and then the immigration office will review and collect the new Maple Leaf card. In the process, applicants face lengthy mailing times and the risk of losing their materials.

如今，无论新申请枫叶卡，还是更新枫叶卡或加拿大护照，申请人只需要准备好所有原始材料及签名填写后的原始纸质版照片的扫描电子版材料，直接在网上递交即可，无需像以前那样邮寄到加拿大，这需要漫长的等待时间。

Now, whether applying for a new Maple Leaf card, renewing a Maple Leaf card or a Canadian passport, the applicant only needs to prepare all the original materials and the scanned electronic version of the original paper photo after the signature is filled out, and submit the materials directly online. There is no need to mail it to Canada as before, which requires a long waiting time.

其实网上移民申请已经不是什么新鲜事了，从2021年3月31日起，部分申请人将使用永久居留门户。您现在可以点击这里在线申请永久移民计划。加拿大现已宣布从 9 月 23 日至 10 月 28 日分阶段引入 100% 数字在线申请。省提名项目（非特快入境）、家庭团聚、魁北克技术工人、农村和北方移民试点项目等热门项目只接受在线申请。如果申请人无法在线申请，他们可以联系移民局要求提交文件。否则，除非有特殊情况，否则将退回纸质申请。

In fact, online immigration applications are nothing new. Starting from March 31, 2021, some applicants will use the permanent Residence portal. You can now apply for the Permanent Immigration Program online by clicking here. Canada has now announced the phased introduction of 100% digital online applications from September 23 to October 28. Popular programs such as the Provincial Nomination Program (Non-Express Entry), Family reunification, Quebec Skilled Workers, Rural and Northern Immigrant Pilot Program accept online applications only. If applicants are unable to apply online, they can contact the immigration office to request documents. Otherwise, paper applications will be returned unless there are special circumstances.

移民申请时无论是纸质时代，还是在线数字化的今天，要求最高的就是2张纸质照片，并非一些不专业的移民中介所言“随便拍”的错误做法，如果申请人在中国，无论申请或更新枫叶卡/PR卡/永居卡或入籍卡或加拿大护照所需要的照片，一定要找国内加拿大枫叶卡专业照相馆，否则你既耽误办理时间，同时还浪费不必要的开支。据业内移民资深人士介绍，申请人在中国办理申请枫叶卡等移民手续，建议你一定要找加拿大枫叶卡照片中国专业照相馆，位于中国首都北京通州区云景东路66号的梨园照相馆国，一定要想尽一切办法拿到梨园照相馆处理的枫叶卡纸质照片后，申请人再按加拿大移民部填写规范及要求将其中一张照片的背面，在相应位置填写姓名和生日等信息，再同申请资料原始版一起1:1扫描后的电子版再通过在线上传即可。记住，一定是纸质照片扫描后的电子版，不是中国式的拍照PS截图后的电子版哦，否则你将无法通过哦。

When immigration application both hard times, or online digital today, demands the highest is 2 paper photo, not some unprofessional immigration intermediary talk "literally clap" mistake, if the applicant in China, regardless of the application or update the card/PR card/permanent residence card or citizenship card or needed for a Canadian passport photos, Be sure to find the domestic Canadian Maple Leaf card professional photo studio, otherwise you will not only delay the processing time, but also waste unnecessary expenses.

切记不要轻易相信大多数移民顾问“相机直接拍照电子版上传”的说法，他们的目的就是让你半年后退回再继续业务合作。移民专家告诉记者，从今以后，在国内申请加拿大枫叶卡/PR卡/永居卡、入籍卡/公民卡及加拿大护照，请千万别用国内传统拍照方法，用相机拍照后PS成电子版，这种电子版不可使用，即使上传通过，6个月或18个月内也会被退回，长时间内你将无法拿到枫叶卡。

Don't fall for most immigration consultants' "take the camera and upload the digital version", their aim is to get you to return after six months and continue business cooperation. A migration expert, told reporters, from now on, apply for Canadian maple leaf card/PR card in domestic citizens/permanent residence card, citizenship card/card and a Canadian passport, please don't take pictures of domestic traditional method, taking pictures with a camera after PS into electronic version, this version is not to be used, even upload through, 6 months or 18 months will be returned, You will not be able to get your Maple Leaf card for a long time.
