Experts predict that most of the applicants affected by the "one-size-fits-all" policy are bound to flock to provincial nominee programs and the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program. Such a concentration of applications is likely to cause the Canadian investment immigration program to fall into a deadlock once again.
Instead of enduring such distress, why not turn your attention to Portugal!
In October 2012, Portugal launched a new immigration policy granting residency to non-EU citizens who purchase real estate in Portugal valued at over 500,000 Euros, also known as the "Golden Residence Permit Program." Applicants for this program only need to invest 500,000 Euros (approximately 4 million RMB) to obtain a luxury property in Portugal and Portuguese residency, with permanent residency attainable after 5 years and eligibility to apply for citizenship in the 6th year.
Its advantages include:
1. One person applies, and three generations of the family obtain immigration status;
2. No age requirements and no asset requirements;
3. Low application threshold, with no need to explain business background or source of funds;
4. A traditional Western European country, with the obtained status allowing free access to 26 Schengen countries;
5. Only 7 days of local residence required per year, which can be satisfied by annual vacations;
6. Consistently ranked in the top 5 globally for visa-free countries, with visa-free access to 165 countries and regions, including popular destinations like the UK, USA, and Japan;
7. Properties can be rented out and freely sold after obtaining permanent residency;
8. Western European real estate is stable, investment risk is low, and there is no global taxation;
9. Permanent land ownership, which can be passed down through generations;
10. Free access to Portuguese healthcare, education, and other social benefits;
11. Freedom to work in Portugal, and children also enjoy the right to study in Portugal.
What Canada cannot offer you, the Portugal program creates for you!
