Recently, the overseas channel of Sina Leju conducted an exclusive interview with Ms. Ellen Luo, Business Director of Worldway's Beijing office, regarding US and Canadian immigration policies.
Sina Leju: Under the Trump administration, with the US EB-5 investment immigration act set to expire on April 28, how can applicants successfully choose a US EB-5 project and catch the last train of the April 28 act?
Ms. Ellen Luo: The US EB-5 investment immigration act has not seen an increase in investment amounts since 1990. However, after Trump took office, US investment immigration may face a price hike on April 28; the wolf is truly at the door.
This project, for which Worldway is the exclusive chief agent in Greater China, is jointly invested by the "City Investment Group" under Goldman Sachs and the renowned New York developer BFC. On March 10, we received major news: the first batch of investors had their I-526 petitions officially approved by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services! This means that as long as there are no issues with the application materials of subsequent EB-5 applicants and their families, the I-526 immigration petitions for all EB-5 applicants and their accompanying family members in this project will be approved soon.
Sina Leju: This year is another year of change for Canadian investment immigration. Between the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program and the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program, which is more suitable for Chinese applicants?
Ms. Ellen Luo: As a highly cost-effective Canadian investment immigration program, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program has always been highly sought after. It only requires applicants to have at least 1.6 million Canadian dollars in legal personal assets and at least two years of management experience within the five years prior to the application. At the same time, Quebec investors can choose to invest 800,000 Canadian dollars with the government, with the principal returned after five years, or make a one-time non-refundable payment of 220,000 Canadian dollars. On March 30, 2017, the official website of the Quebec Immigration Bureau released the specific allocation of the 2017-2018 Quebec immigration quota. The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program has been allocated 1,900 spots, with 1,330 spots for the China region (including Hong Kong and Macau), accepting applications from May 29, 2017, to February 23, 2018. If an investment immigration applicant has an intermediate level of French or higher, they are not subject to the quota and can submit an application at any time before March 31, 2018. As the most popular program in the Canadian investment immigration market, the Quebec program allows the whole family to obtain a Maple Leaf Card in one step upon completing the investment, without the need to create jobs. Coupled with the fact that there are no language requirements for applicants, it has become a popular choice for Chinese citizens competing to immigrate to Canada. Canada is relatively strict in reviewing the personal conditions of investors; we remind investors not to choose the wrong investment method, otherwise, it will significantly affect the approval of your status.
