What are the advantages of emigrating to Canada?

Only by becoming a Canadian citizen can you apply for and have a Canadian passport. Citizens with Canadian passports can freely enter and leave more than 0/00 countries in the world, including the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Singapore, Spain, Portugal and Saudi Arabia. The premise of having a Canadian passport is to get a Canadian green card, which is a Canadian immigrant visa.

2. A springboard to America

It is understandable that international students are ambitious and work hard after their studies. There are many more opportunities in the United States than in Canada, so many students want to go to the United States for development after getting their degrees. As permanent residents with immigration status, it is easy to get a visa to the United States, which is convenient for everyone to compare the development opportunities of the two countries. For many people, having a Canadian green card is also the first step to enter the United States.

3. The sword of returned Chinese businessmen.

After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Chinese businessmen who return to China for business will be regarded as foreign businessmen and enjoy special treatment in management and taxation. Generally speaking, local governments give strong support, give special preferential policies to some industries, reduce the amount of national tax and relax the business scope of specific industries. In some places or regions that vigorously promote the policy of attracting foreign investment, the scope of preferential policies will be even larger. Therefore, if you want to go back to China to do business, Canadian citizenship is undoubtedly a sword.

4. Free and compulsory education

Your child will enjoy 12 years of compulsory education in Canada. Education in all public schools is free in primary and secondary schools. Every school has a special ESL course to strengthen English for the children of new immigrants.

In addition, you can also get unemployment insurance whenever you are sick, injured, isolated, giving birth, or have to take care of a newborn or adopted child all the time and have to stop working. The former is called ordinary unemployment insurance and the latter is called special unemployment insurance, both of which are subject to income tax. Under the new system, unemployment insurance is renamed employment insurance. This plan contains two main contents: unemployment income security, that is, unemployment benefits; Employment incentive allowance is used to encourage employment.

6. Canadian Pensions and Pensions

In order to protect the life of the elderly, the Canadian government has introduced various systems to ensure that the elderly have enough economic income to spend their old age after retirement. The federal pension plan is divided into three parts: basic pension allowance, income security allowance and spouse allowance. These allowances are allocated by the Canadian government from the total annual national tax revenue.

Basic old-age allowance: it is a monthly allowance for elderly people over 65 who meet the conditions of Canadian residents. Old people who are eligible for this allowance must apply for it themselves before they can receive it.

Income security subsidy: it is paid to the elderly who have almost no other income except the above-mentioned basic old age allowance, so that their total income can be maintained at a certain level.

Spouse allowance: this is an allowance for the spouse, widower or widow of the pensioner. Together with the basic pension allowance and income security allowance, it constitutes the federal pension plan.

7. Medical insurance

Canada is one of the countries with medical insurance system in the world. Most communities have good hospitals, clinics or doctors' offices. All Canadian residents, citizens and permanent residents can usually get free services after registering for Canada's national health insurance plan. Medical insurance is paid directly by the state from taxes to hospitals and doctors. There is one doctor for every 520 people. The government's annual expenditure on health care is 52 billion Canadian dollars, and the per capita medical allowance is 1.800 Canadian dollars. Every province in Canada has a taxpayer-funded medical insurance plan to provide cheap and high-quality medical care services. After obtaining the health care plan, you will get a provincial health care card with an identification number.
