He should travel with his Maple Leaf Card. Not sure what others could do here on his behalf.

So you mean he has to to come back to Canada and then apply for the renew? I know during the application they need the card to be submitted and the new one has to be picked up by the applicant. I was wondering if a lawyer can act on his behalf and do it or it has to be him self? His taking care of my grand parents and working in china right now, and I really don't think he be able to just leave everything and come back here and wait who knows how long to get his renew.

好像现在办理枫叶卡的速度是两个月。 你可以上移民局网页上找找， 有很多信息可以学习。

Thanks, I asked the site and I understand that my father has to come back to Canada to renew the card, but he can apply for a PR re-entry visa when his card expires and come back that way.

Sure he can.

Remember two things:

1. If the PR card is still valid, he can come back anytime without having to apply for that one time entry visa.

2. when he apply for that one time entry visa, he faces the same inspection from the immigration officer about his residency obligation. it means, if the visa officers abroad thinks he has not lived 2 years out of 5, they will make a note in his file which will makes it harder for him to apply renew his PR card.

What is your father's long term intention after he returns to Canada? Continue to live in Canada, or renew the card and go to China again?

那你是指在枫叶卡过期前都可以直接回加拿大即使已经在国内待了超过三年了吗？过加拿大海关的时候他们都不查你的出入境记录吗？

还有回了加拿大后如果申请更新枫叶卡，他们会查你以前的居住纪录或者是出入境记录吗？非常感谢！
