As new immigration policies are introduced and old ones are phased out, the tightening of the overseas immigration market is accelerating. Countries such as Australia, Singapore, and Canada have successively adjusted their immigration policies, beginning to "select" their candidates.
Countries raise immigration thresholds this year
Applicants' wisdom is put to the test
The "drastic changes" in immigration policies, driven by insufficient quotas due to an overwhelming number of applicants, are particularly evident in traditional immigration countries like Australia, Canada, and Singapore. On April 19, Australia adjusted its immigration policy, increasing asset requirements and shareholding ratios. On June 26, Canada announced the suspension of federal immigration applications, with new regulations requiring the investment amount to increase from 400,000 CAD to 800,000 CAD, and the net asset requirement to rise from 800,000 CAD to 1.6 million CAD. Meanwhile, starting October 1, Singapore began requiring that the annual turnover of the applicant's company be no less than 150 million RMB, and effective from January next year, the investment requirement for applicants will increase from 1.5 million SGD to 2.5 million SGD, an increase of 5 million RMB in investment capital.
These policy adjustments and the continuously rising asset leverage have blocked the path to immigration for a large number of small and medium-sized business owners. In this regard, Worldway immigration experts point out: Immigration policies often follow a cyclical pattern similar to economic development, progressing step by step. After a policy has been in effect for a period, it is subject to further adjustments. Now, as the overall strength of immigration applicants increases, the requirements for immigration in various countries are also rising accordingly.
500,000 USD for a U.S. Green Card?
The key lies in choosing safe and reliable projects
Can you get a U.S. Green Card for 500,000 USD? Following the outbreak of the financial crisis, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has gradually relaxed its immigration policies—by investing 500,000 USD and creating 10 jobs, one can apply for the U.S. EB-5 immigration program and obtain a U.S. Green Card. Worldway immigration experts state, "Generally speaking, investment projects in the United States that have financial support from federal or state governments have a relatively high safety coefficient."
