A comparison between Canadian immigrants and American immigrants

Canada and the United States are two mainstream immigrant countries and often need to be compared. Which country has more advantages in immigrant life? Do immigrants choose Canada or America? I also sorted out the comparison between Canadian immigrants and American immigrants for you.

First of all, in terms of administrative division, the United States is called a state and Canada is called a province; In terms of weather temperature measurement, Fahrenheit is used in the United States and Celsius is used in Canada. In mileage calculation, the United States uses miles and Canada uses kilometers; In gasoline units, the United States uses gallons and Canada uses liters. So most people think that Canada is closer to China in the details of life.

Secondly, investors emigrate only for the business environment, children's education and social welfare. The United States has more industries and a larger economic aggregate, so it has greater business opportunities in theory. In terms of education, the systems of the two countries are generally similar. More than 90 universities in Canada are mainly public institutions, with little difference, and the quality of education can basically be maintained at a level. As education funds mainly come from the provincial government, scholarships are mainly for citizens and permanent residents. American universities are mostly concentrated in private schools, and the funds mainly come from donations from individuals, companies or alumni associations. The tuition fees of Canadian universities are lower than those of the United States, so many American students go to Canada to study. In terms of welfare, there is a good welfare system under the developed social system in North America.

The biggest difference between the two countries lies in medical care, and one problem that the American government has been committed to solving for a long time is universal medical insurance. At present, the United States takes the form of personal purchase and pays part of it. Although some people in America have insurance, they don't go to see a doctor because the out-of-pocket part is unbearable. Canada is more socialist in this respect. Not only does the government provide medical insurance, but also medical institutions such as hospitals and physiotherapy are state-owned. When new immigrants get their health cards, they hardly have to worry about anything.

Thirdly, Canadian investment immigrants are direct immigrant visas without any additional conditions, and they can enjoy all education and medical benefits after landing. However, the domestic waiting time is long and the interview-free rate is high. The interview takes 8 to 10 months, the immigrant visa takes 8 to 12 months, and the whole journey takes 18 to 24 months. The government guarantees repayment without any risks or commercial requirements. After obtaining the green card, the applicant can freely settle in any province and city in Canada, and retain his identity for two years within five years, which costs less but takes a little longer to process. Suitable for experienced managers, with high assets and clear sources of assets, you can get a green card in one step.

American EB-5 investment immigrants can quickly obtain a visa with restrictions, and they can apply for a green card after living in the United States for two years. If you invest 500,000 USD, you need to conduct interviews and interviews within 1 to 3 months, and get the I-526 visa within 6 months after completing the investment. After that, you can apply for a green card after 24 months of business participation and get a green card next month. $500,000 investment and 5-year return; Project management fee and American lawyer's fee are extra. This project belongs to the creditor's rights project. There are certain risks, the project sponsor is an enterprise, and the state does not guarantee the safety of funds. There are certain requirements for participating in the operation. Applicants must first obtain a conditional visa, live in the project initiation place and participate in project management. Conditional visas can be obtained quickly, with low requirements on the source of funds, and are suitable for people with solid family assets and strong mobility. It is a debt investment project with little risk.

Finally, the latitude of the United States is lower than that of Canada, the climate is warmer than that of Canada, and Canada is relatively cold. If the applicant wants to live in the United States after immigrating to Canada, it is not difficult. Traveling in the United States and Canada is very convenient, and you can cross the border without a visa. Moreover, the US Department of Labor does not regard Canadian citizens as foreign workers, so Canadian citizens can stay or work in the United States for a long time.

To sum up, it is not difficult to see from the comparison between Canadian immigrant life and American immigrant life that the United States is suitable for hard work and Canada is more suitable for life. So different people have different views, and how to choose depends on their own needs.
