3. Analysis of Investment Immigration Assets

Wealth accumulated from the previous generation accounts for a minority. Among these, wage income accounts for 31%; investment returns account for 27%; and company operations account for 23%. Commercial returns occupy the primary position in the sources of immigration assets.

 

4. Analysis of Reasons for Investment Immigration


Education is an important factor in considering immigration. First, there is the financial reason; the price difference in tuition fees for international students versus domestic students in many countries is equivalent to the cost required for immigration after a few years. Second, there is the trend of younger students studying abroad; more and more parents realize that it is very detrimental to a child's growth to leave their parents at a young age, so they hope the whole family or at least the mother can move over to accompany them.

 

5. Main Obstacles to Investment Immigration


Waiting too long during the immigration application process is generally considered the biggest obstacle, and more than a quarter of immigrants feel the same way. Language barriers and difficulty integrating into mainstream society are also major difficulties that immigrants need to face. The decision to immigrate may be due to factors such as education, environment, and food, but a large part of the reason for deciding to immigrate to a certain country is because it is easy to obtain a green card and the procedures are simple.

 

6. Choosing an Immigration Agency


When choosing an immigration agency, professional consultation and a successful track record are the top priorities for immigrants. Because once an application fails, not only is a very long waiting time wasted, but it is also difficult to succeed in a re-application.

 

7. Attributes of the Investment Population


The population wanting to immigrate is mainly male, mostly aged 20-29, and the proportion of 30-39 is also very high. From an age perspective, the 20-29 age group accounts for a relatively large proportion of dependent applicants and international students. The 30-39 age group is basically the main applicant. The provinces they are distributed in are mainly Beijing and Shanghai, followed by Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong.
