The provisions of the new naturalization law on Canadian immigrants

# Canada Immigration # Introduction The new naturalization law has made great adjustments in terms of naturalization residence time, language requirements and naturalization qualifications. The residence time is not only relaxed, but also allows applicants to work or study in Canada before becoming permanent residents, which is a great advantage for those with work visas or international students. The following are the provisions of the new naturalization law for Canadian immigrants. Welcome to read!

Article 1 the provisions of the new naturalization law on Canadian immigrants

1. The new time relaxation bill has revised the residence time mechanism that many people care about, from six to four years to five to three years, and the previous residence time in Canada as a non-permanent resident (such as work or study permit) can be counted in proportion. This is very beneficial for people with work visas or international students.

2. Declare the "intention to stay" clause invalid.

The new law stipulates that the Canadian government has no right to revoke its citizens' Canadian citizenship. The reason why the government can revoke citizenship is because it is found that the applicant has cheated in the process of applying for citizenship.

3. Reduce language requirements

The Act changes the age for naturalization applicants to take the language test from 18 to 64 years old as stipulated in the current law to 18 to 60 years old, which means that naturalization applicants aged 60 or above can be exempted from taking the language test.

4. Cancel the tax declaration time

The original bill C-24 stipulated that tax returns were required for four of the past six years, while the new bill only required tax returns for three of the past five years.

Minors can apply for naturalization on their own.

In addition, the new amendment allows minors to stop applying for naturalization with their parents. Previously, minors and parents had to apply at the same time. Once their parents are rejected, they will have to wait until 18 years old to get a chance to reapply.

Chapter II Advantages of Canadian Immigrants

1. The environment is good and the investment income is stable and considerable.

Canada was rated as the first choice for doing business among G20 countries by Forbes magazine and Bloomberg Businessweek. Canada's fiscal policy and political environment are highly predictable, forward-looking and stable. Combined with Canada's extensive innovation in many industries, it ensures that investors can not only reap short-term benefits, but also maintain the stability of long-term benefits.

2. Stable and efficient economic growth and abundant finance.

Canada's economic growth ranks among the best in the Group of Seven. In addition, among G7 countries, Canada has the lowest ratio of net debt to GDP. Canada's finance is also abundant, and its fiscal revenue is greater than the government's repayment ability, which has been in a stable state for a long time.

3. The banking system is stable and the commercial tax rate is low.

Canada's banking system is considered to be the safest and most stable in the world. In addition, among the G7 countries (the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Japan, Italy and Canada), Canada has the lowest corporate tax rate.

4. Diversification of investment

Foreign investors doing business in Canada can take all forms that domestic investors can take, including joint ventures, wholly-owned companies, branches, representative offices and partnerships. Relatively speaking, setting up a business in Canada is simple and low-cost. The specific procedure depends on the jurisdiction where the enterprise is established, but the steps are similar.
