Is the cost of living for Canadian immigrants high?

Living expenses of Canadian immigrants

Generally speaking, the price level in Canada is not too high, and it belongs to the middle level in today's world. The consumption in big cities such as Toronto and Vancouver is slightly higher, and other provinces and regions will be relatively lower. Low-income people in Canada have nothing to worry about except buying a house. Food is usually very cost-effective, except for foods containing chocolate and foods that produce processed products such as canned fruits, other foods are not taxed. High-energy foods, such as chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits, are very cheap. 1 people can spend about 150 Canadian dollars on food every month.

At present, the minimum living guarantee in Canada is 800- 1500 Canadian dollars per month, and the welfare, endowment insurance, scholarships, unemployment benefits or other support issued by government departments are all in accordance with this standard. Then you can basically calculate the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation for a family in Canada. If a family rents a house, the minimum expenses are probably: renting a house (2 rooms, 1 hall) 700- 1500 Canadian dollars, meals 700-700, monthly ticket for three people in the city, 180- 150, and network telephone communication 65430. This is only the basic necessary expenses of simple food, clothing, housing and transportation, and does not include holiday travel, entertainment activities, social media, eating out, personal hobbies on mobile phones, clothing, furniture, household appliances and so on.

Canada is the first of the nine industrialized countries in the west, and its average energy consumption is all over the world today. Although the population is sparsely populated, there are still many cars in Canada, which are the first choice props for Canadians and the necessities of every family. Nevertheless, Canada's environmental pollution and ecological environmental protection are the first in the world. In Canada, even a large city with a high degree of modernization and a large population like Toronto is full of blue sky and white clouds and grasslands, and the air is fresh.

In China, once you get sick, you will spend a lot of money on medical care, but in Canada, free medical care is implemented for all. After immigration to Canada, everyone can get a medical card with photos. Medical treatment, diagnosis and treatment, examination, surgical treatment and hospitalization in Canada are free of charge. Doctors and nurses will deduct fees from the Ministry of Health according to the figures on the card.

In China, another big expense is children's education, while in Canada, according to the law, children between the ages of six and sixteen must go to school, and children between the ages of four and five can attend preschool classes in primary schools. In Canada, primary and secondary education lasts for twelve years, and education in all public schools is free.

It can be seen that after immigrating to Canada, you get a maple leaf card and enjoy free medical care and children's education, plus Canada's perfect welfare system, milk money, unemployment money and so on. So the cost of living after immigrating to Canada is very low, just some daily expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

I. Strong capital and rich management experience.

If the net assets exceed 6.5438+0.6 million Canadian dollars, and the applicant has two years of management experience in the last five years, and does not want to invest and start a business in Canada, and does not want to be restricted from staying, he can choose federal or Quebec investment immigration.

(1) Federal investment immigrants: suitable for people who are relatively stable and want to apply as soon as possible. Because at present, the immigration laws and regulations of federal investment immigrants have been running for nearly ten years, which are relatively mature and stable. In addition, after the implementation of the New Deal, new and old cases will be handled according to the ratio of 2: 1, and the application is expected to take only 6-8 months, greatly shortening the waiting period. In addition, the approval threshold of the first batch of applicants in the New Deal is loose, and the interview-free rate is high, which can be described as full of advantages.

(2) Quebec investment immigrants: After the implementation of the New Deal in Quebec, the application conditions are basically similar to those of federal investment immigrants, but they are no longer dominant in the application cycle and processing speed. Moreover, the examination and approval procedures in Quebec are more complicated than those in the federal government, and the requirements for funding sources and tax bills are stricter.

Suggestion: Applicants with abundant funds and rich management experience can choose the above two schemes according to their own situation.

Second, less assets want to start their own businesses.

Small and medium-sized entrepreneurs or senior managers who intend to live in various provinces of Canada and want to engage in business. This kind of applicants can choose the way that Canada nominates immigrants.

Provincial nominated immigrants: in the trial of economic immigrants, it is listed as the first priority procedure, so it is faster. Judging from the asset requirements, the requirements are relatively low. After the implementation of the New Deal, it is stipulated that applicants of the provincial nomination plan must take the initiative to invest, that is, operating and living in the local area is an irreplaceable condition for obtaining permanent residents in Canada. Its investment mode is flexible. According to the applicant's hobbies or risk analysis, he can freely choose to invest, buy or set up new enterprises in different fields, and the income belongs to the investor.

Suggestion: Applicants with less assets who want to immigrate to Canada through investment can consider provincial nomination. In addition to less capital requirements, the application materials for provincial nominated projects will be simpler than those for federal and Quebec investment immigrants.
