What makes the smallest Canadian province the new favorite of China immigrants?

Prince Edward Island is located in the east of Canada, separated only by water from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with beautiful scenery, and is known as the "Bay Park".

Three of them are roughly equal in area: the king is in the easternmost part, the queen is in the middle part and the prince is in the west. From south to north, it is about 255 kilometers long and covers an area of 5657㎞2, accounting for 0. 1% of the total area of Canada. Canada has the smallest area, the smallest population and the largest population density, with an average of about 22.4 people per square kilometer. The population of the island is 6.5438+0.3 million, and most of them are descendants of early French, Scottish and British immigrants. 62% of the population is rural, which is the largest rural population in Canada.

Great changes have taken place in Prince Edward Island since the cross-sea highway bridge connected Prince Edward Island with New Brunswick Province.

According to statistics, more and more people immigrate to this smallest province in Canada, attracting 2,776 immigrants to settle on the island in the past three years, most of whom are from China, the most populous country in the world. At present, the population from China accounts for 2% of the province.

The government tilted its immigration policy.

The influx of immigrants is the result of government projects. The government hopes to have business skills and investors to immigrate to Prince Edward Island. In order to promote its economic development and give it preferential immigration policies, the Canadian federal government approved the establishment of the provincial immigration nomination program project (PEI project for short) in this province.

At present, the introduction conditions of PEI are still not high and affordable, which has won the favor of many applicants, while the Canadian federal and Quebec governments have raised the threshold and quota of investment immigrants.

Detailed application conditions are as follows:

1. Legally obtained family net assets of 600,000 Canadian dollars;

2. At least 3 years of management experience in the past 5 years (both shareholders and senior executives can);

3. The age requirement is 2 1-59 years old;

4. High school education or above;

5. The original IELTS score of 4 points must be provided (if you have obtained a bachelor's degree or above from a regular foreign institution, you may not take IELTS);

6. Travel to Prince Edward Island for at least 5 days;

7. After being nominated by the province, pay a start-up deposit of 6,543,805 Canadian dollars and a residence deposit of 50,000 Canadian dollars to the provincial government of Prince Edward Island.

Old immigrant: "The longer you stay, the more you like it here."

Today, China community is the third largest community in Prince Edward Island. Here, there is a traffic rule that everyone must consciously abide by: "When you see a red light, you must stop." Some immigrants from China also brought table tennis here to show you the most popular sport in China.

Of course, in other parts of Canada, such as Vancouver and Toronto, some foreigners are accused of pushing up local real estate prices almost every day, making everyone unable to afford a house. However, there is no such worry here. Prince Edward Island has a long-term guarantee to restrict the sale of local properties to non-residents of the province. Moreover, the property tax of foreign residents is higher than that of permanent residents.

Although many people come from big cities, they eventually moved to Toronto and Vancouver, Montreal or bigger cities. But there are still many immigrants who are eligible for the immigration program. They also go to other provinces, but they will eventually choose to settle here. Many old immigrants said, "The longer you stay here, the more you like it."
