1. Relaxed immigration conditions and high success rate
The new regulations in Quebec state that shareholders, executives, lawyers, accountants, appraisers, and doctors can apply. Spousal assets can be shared, and the source of assets can also be inheritance. An asset of only 1.6 million Canadian dollars is required to apply. For provincial nomination program immigration, only 350,000 Canadian dollars is needed, with no tax returns or complicated documentation required. Entrepreneurs, self-employed individuals, and executives can all apply.
2. Superior social welfare, a paradise for children and the elderly
Canada has an enviable "social welfare policy." Seniors over 65 can receive a pension of up to 60,000 RMB per year based on family income. From birth to 18 years old, children can receive a monthly milk allowance in Quebec of up to approximately 3,500 RMB, depending on family income. The total milk subsidy for children from birth to 18 years is around 700,000 RMB. During their schooling from kindergarten to high school, all expenses are waived, and school buses provide free transportation daily. Children living in Quebec can receive education in French, English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, along with Chinese, allowing them to speak six languages from different countries.
3. Easy schooling for children and significant cost savings
If your child wishes to attend middle school or high school in Canada, the annual cost is approximately 250,000 RMB, while in the United States or the United Kingdom, it is about 450,000 RMB, and they do not have permanent resident status, making it more difficult to enter good universities. Parental visits are subject to visa restrictions, but with an investment of around 650,000 RMB, the entire family can immigrate to Canada and obtain Canadian permanent resident cards in one step.
4. First-class education system
Canada's education system is similar to that of the United States, with primary and secondary education connected. Generally, it lasts for 12 years. The local education authority decides whether seventh grade (equivalent to the first year of junior high school in China) is held in elementary or secondary school based on the facilities and teaching staff. After graduating from 12th grade in secondary school, most provinces allow students to apply directly to universities (except for Ontario). University education generally lasts three to four years, master's programs typically last one to two years, and doctoral programs usually last three to five years.
5. Immigrating to Canada is equivalent to "immigrating to the United States"
The United States and Canada are often referred to as "brother countries." With free trade and cultural agreements between the two nations, Canadian citizens can freely enter the United States without a visa, and they can also study or work in the U.S. and enjoy American benefits. For those who wish to apply for U.S. immigration but find the conditions too stringent, applying for Canadian immigration is the best stepping stone.
