August 27th and 28th, Worldway Immigration held Canadian immigration, tax, and real estate seminars in Beijing and Qingdao, respectively. Mr. Richard, a representative from the Canadian Immigrant Investor Fund, along with Ms. Janet Zhang, a Canadian tax and real estate expert, successful Chinese-Canadian entrepreneur, and special commentator for Vancouver television, were in attendance to provide investment immigration clients with insights and introductions to Canadian investment immigration policies, tax systems, and real estate acquisition. The guest speakers shared the secrets to their successful immigration journeys, drawing on their own years of overseas living and entrepreneurial experience.
Mr. Richard, representing the Canadian Immigrant Investor Fund, first introduced the advantages of Canadian investment immigration. Canada boasts a superior education system, an optimal welfare system, a comprehensive tax system, and a universal, equitable healthcare system. To ensure more people can access higher education, the government has established funding policies tailored to various economic situations. Regarding healthcare, both citizens and permanent residents can rely on support in their old age and care when ill. All provinces and territories in Canada have established comprehensive free medical insurance systems. All citizens, regardless of wealth or health status, are treated equally when seeking medical care in any province or territory, whether at government-run hospitals or private clinics.
Next, Mr. Richard introduced the advantages of applying for Canadian investment immigration. Low application thresholds, low investment risks, and high investment returns make Canada the preferred destination for global investment immigration clients. At the same time, Mr. Richard advised that since the federal immigration program reached its annual cap and temporarily closed, Canadian immigration applications are in a state of urgency. For those intending to immigrate to Canada, applying early is the best strategy.
Ms. Janet Zhang, as a representative of Chinese-Canadians who achieved great success after immigrating to Canada, provided a brilliant presentation on-site using her own successful experience. Ms. Janet Zhang is a Chinese-Canadian who immigrated to Canada through the skilled worker program in 2000 and later settled in Vancouver, where she has lived for over a decade; she is a special commentator for a well-known local television station, an expert in Canadian investment, finance, and taxation; she founded her own financial group and a service company aimed at helping new immigrants; and she is the author of the bestseller "Living in Vancouver".
Regarding the Canadian tax system, she provided an introduction on-site. Canada has a comprehensive tax collection and distribution system, has established an efficient and flexible tax enforcement and supervision system, and has formed an enforcement supervision system that combines external and internal oversight, primarily based on self-regulatory supervision by tax authorities. This standardizes the administrative behavior of tax enforcement personnel and effectively protects the legitimate rights and interests of taxpayers.
The Canadian tax system is primarily composed of six parts: income tax, capital tax, business tax, property tax, customs duties, and payroll tax. In Canada, all three levels of government—federal, provincial, and municipal—have the authority to levy taxes. The federal government collects goods and services tax and surtaxes, and all provinces except Alberta levy retail sales tax. Taxes at the federal level also include license fees and customs duties. The provincial level levies payroll taxes and natural resource royalties. The scope of municipal taxation is limited to property taxes.
This Canadian immigration, tax, and real estate seminar was actively attended by investment immigration clients, and the atmosphere at both locations was enthusiastic. So much so that the guest speakers did not get a break even after presenting all the content of the seminar. Facing the enthusiastic questions from the audience after the event, the guest speakers patiently answered them one by one.
