What's the difference between Canadian immigration paper and green card? Some people don't know the concept of immigration paper and green card, and don't understand the difference between them. What's the difference between Canadian immigration paper and green card for you?

1. What's the difference between a Canadian immigration paper and a green card?

After all the information and conditions of the applicant are qualified, the Canadian Immigration Bureau will issue an "immigrant visa" to the applicant, which is also commonly known as "immigration paper".

"Immigration paper" in multiple copies is a legal visa to apply for entry into Canada; With this document, the applicant can successfully leave the original country of residence and declare to Canadian customs or ports, which is called "entry and landing"; At this time, the Canadian immigration officer there will sign the "immigration document" and give the applicant a page. This document becomes the legal status of the applicant to settle in Canada for a long time, which is equivalent to the "green card" of the United States. Immigrants who hold this page document are called "Canadian permanent residents", "landed immigrants" or "new immigrants" in Canada; People in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province who have this status have changed from this status to "overseas Chinese", but they continue to hold passports issued by their original countries of residence.

Canadian law stipulates that "permanent residents" enjoy the same rights as Canadian citizens in business, employment, study and further study, social and medical benefits, except for not participating in elections and voting; At the same time, we should bear the same obligations as Canadian citizens, such as paying taxes according to regulations and obeying the law. In Canada, there is no difference between "permanent residents" and "Canadian residents" in terms of business employment, further study and social medical benefits. You only need to hold a "social insurance card" to go through various formalities.

A "permanent resident" can apply to become a "Canadian citizen" and obtain a Canadian passport if he has not committed any serious criminal offence after reporting in Canada for three years. A "green card" or "permanent resident status" held by a "permanent resident" has no validity limit. As long as it does not violate Canadian laws and regulations, you can keep your "green card" for decades, or you don't need to apply for "Canadian citizen" status. Canada recognizes dual or multiple nationality, so some people in Canada maintain dual or multiple nationality.

The China government prohibits its citizens from maintaining dual citizenship. Therefore, once Chinese mainland immigrants have settled in Canada for three years and obtained Canadian citizenship, they are considered to have lost their China citizenship and are no longer subject to the jurisdiction and protection of China laws.

2. What are the ways to immigrate to Canada?

1, immigrants studying abroad

In fact, there is no such thing as "emigrating to study abroad" in Canada. To apply for a study visa, if the visa officer thinks that you want to immigrate to Canada through studying abroad during the communication with you, generally speaking, your study visa will be refused.

However, some provinces in Canada have introduced some preferential policies related to studying abroad. These policies encourage foreigners educated in Canada to integrate into Canadian society after receiving education, and those who can contribute to Canada's development stay in Canada. This is what we usually call "immigrants studying abroad".

Most people who choose to immigrate to Canada in this way will choose Quebec. Because Quebec has relevant preferential policies, you can complete the study of subjects required by the government, and on this premise, you can obtain the status of permanent resident in Canada by obtaining the relevant certificate of French exam. Although only a few provinces in Canada have such preferential policies at present, it does not rule out that more and more provincial capital cities will introduce preferential policies for studying abroad in the future.

2. Skilled immigrants

The requirements of skilled immigrants are much higher than those of immigrants studying abroad. Canadian immigrants must first pass your language, and your language should be fluent. If you communicate with others, there is no big difficulty, but it is still more important. If you don't master the language well, it's hard to find a job in Canada.

But at present, our threshold for skilled immigrants is still relatively low. That is, you can start such a company in Canada and then hire yourself. This way is more convenient than traditional skilled migration. Therefore, skilled migration is relatively simple for some people who use certain assets.

In fact, it is not very difficult to immigrate to Canada at present. Because Canada, as a country with an aging population, has a great demand for labor. So it is very feasible for us to immigrate to Canada through technology. At least Canada welcomes fresh blood.
