Brief introduction of Canada's immigration policy changes

Introduction to Canada's immigration policy changes

1. Persistence of the pilot project of immigration in four Atlantic provinces

The well-known AIPP project is an employer-funded immigration project, which is applicable to New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador. 1 year relevant experience+language CLB4+ high school education+1 year employer offer is very easy to reach, and you can get your identity in about 1 year. The AIPP project is one of the most popular projects for Canadian immigrants in the past two years, and Canada also intends to make this project permanent, which is expected to bring 5,000 new quotas to this project.

2. 2000 places will be added to the provincial nomination category.

Immigration Canada announced in March 2065438+2009 that the Canadian Nominated Immigration Program (PNP) will allocate an additional 2,000 places, and the additional 2,000 places will be mainly used for working in Canada, and the occupation belongs to category C in the NOC. (Canadian technicians with high school education or above, such as truck drivers, etc. )

3.BC Province 654.38+10,000 investment immigrants started.

The regional pilot project of 65438+ 10,000 Canadian dollars for entrepreneurs in BC, Canada was officially launched. The threshold of this project is low, and the applicant's family net assets are required to be not less than 300,000 Canadian dollars, and the minimum investment is 6,543,800 Canadian dollars. The requirements for start-up time are also relatively loose. Applicants who have landed in BC Province on a work visa can submit a report after 12 months to apply for permanent residence if they meet the starting conditions.

4. Pilot projects in different places and moving northward.

Employers in remote and northern communities in Canada sponsor the immigration project RNIP, which can be said to be equivalent to an AIPP in northwest Canada. The threshold of this new project is also low, which only needs 65,438+0 years of relevant experience +cl B4-6 language requirements+high school education or above+full-time employer offer, and its core undoubtedly lies in employer offer. The PNIP pilot project lasts for 3 years until the end of 2020. This year, five pilot communities in Ontario and Manitoba have opened, and another six communities in Ontario, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan will open in 2020.

At the same time, the graduation work visa was extended to 180 days, the parents' and grandparents' immigration projects were reopened, and the Canadian $630 naturalization fee was cancelled. It is not difficult to see that the Canadian Immigration Bureau attaches great importance to immigration work. In order to attract diversified new immigrants, Canada will continue to try and open up new immigration methods. I believe that Canadian immigrants will remain very popular in the new year.

Every year, the amount of personal income tax and welfare of most Canadians will be adjusted due to inflation. The adjustment range is what we usually call the annual inflation rate, which is usually determined by the Canadian tax bureau according to the statistical data of the Bureau of Statistics. The Canadian Taxation Bureau announced that the inflation rate in 2020 will be 1.9%. According to this inflation rate, in 2020, the tax threshold and various welfare amounts of Canadians will also change accordingly, and Canadian milk will increase slightly 1.9% next year.

Contributions to pension schemes have also increased. From 5. 1% of 20 19 to 5.25%. Self-employed individuals must pay 10.5% of their wages, and Quebec, which has always been a maverick, will also see the growth of its pension plan (Quebec is called QPP). In 2020, the contribution rate of QPP in Quebec will increase from 5.55% to 5.7%, and the contribution rate of self-employed will increase to 1 1.4%. It seems that everyone will have to pay more pensions next year.

In addition, according to the Canadian unemployment insurance (EI) plan, all Canadians who take part in the work will deduct a certain percentage from their monthly salary and pay it to the government as a contribution to unemployment benefits. Employers must pay 1.4 times the amount of employees. In 2020, the contribution of unemployment benefits in Canada will be reduced from 65,438+0.62% in 2065,438+09 to 65,438+0.58% in wages. Although the pension has increased, fortunately, the unemployment benefit has also decreased a little accordingly.

In the new one-year policy, immigrants who have become permanent residents of Canada remember to pay close attention to the changes in the new tax year and declare truthfully when submitting tax returns.
