Quebec immigration failed.

A few days ago, an overseas Chinese in Canada didn't want to lose his permanent resident status in Canada or give up his citizenship in China, so he didn't naturalize in Canada for 20 years. Unfortunately, "you can't have your cake and eat it." ...

Some Canadian immigrants can be naturalized after their residence expires, but in order to retain their original China passports, they only retain their resident status and do not apply for Canadian citizenship. However, according to a recent case of the federal court, this will lead to being refused naturalization in the future. If they live permanently, the people concerned will be deprived of their resident status and deported for violating the criminal law, with a prison term of more than six months.

Immigrant friends who want to keep their China passports instead of being naturalized often want to handle some affairs in China, such as providing for the aged, buying and selling real estate and doing business. They are worried that if they become foreigners in China after naturalization, it will be very troublesome to come to China to handle things.

Recently, a China resident surnamed Li was granted Canadian residency as a refugee, but he kept his permanent resident status for more than 20 years. Instead of applying for Canadian citizenship, he applied for a China passport, got married in China and even started a business. But the man was sentenced to more than two years' imprisonment for drug trafficking in China, which happened to be discovered by the Canadian Federal Public Security Bureau. Therefore, the Canadian Public Security Bureau applied to the Immigration and Refugee Board to terminate his refugee status on the grounds that Li no longer needed refugee protection, and was approved.

Although there is no problem for this person to stay in Canada as a permanent resident, according to Canadian immigration law, any permanent resident who is sentenced to more than 6 months' imprisonment or violates the criminal law with the maximum sentence of 10 years will be deprived of his identity and deported to his original country of residence.

Li, from China, was granted refugee status in Canada as early as 1990 and became a permanent resident in Canada two years later. However, he never became a Canadian citizen by naturalization. Instead, he obtained a China passport. Later, I met my spouse in China, and both of them got married in China. After that, they did business in China under the name of a Canadian company of Li Chengli. From 2000 to 2004, Li lived and lived in China most of the time.

In 2004, when Li returned to Canada from China via Hong Kong, he was summoned by the Canadian immigration officer in Hong Kong because he failed to show his Maple Leaf Card (the identity document required for permanent residents to enter and leave Canada), fearing that he would stay in China for a long time. But in the end, immigration officials issued him a travel document and told him to go back to Canada. Li received a maple leaf card immediately after he returned to Canada.

However, in August of the same year, he was arrested by the China police for manufacturing, importing and possessing controlled drugs and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. After being released from prison, he can't travel abroad because he must abide by the conditions of parole.

20 13, after Li became a permanent resident, the Federal Security Service not only failed to apply for Canadian citizenship, but took the initiative to apply for a China passport, showing that when traveling abroad, he would rather be protected by the Chinese consulate if necessary. Therefore, the Canadian Federal Security Service applied to the Refugee and Immigration Bureau to revoke Li's refugee status and was approved.

Li refused to accept the appeal. The reason is that he was given a travel document issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Bureau to return to Canada, which shows that even if he lives in China for a long time, his permanent resident status will not be affected; Secondly, Li was sentenced to prison in 2004, but the Federal Security Service did not propose to cancel his refugee status until 20 13. It is precisely because the Canadian authorities delayed handling this incident that Li could not keep the documents in his favor. However, the federal court finally rejected Li's appeal, because Hong Kong immigration officials considered the number of days Li stayed in Canada, which was completely different from the reason that the Canadian Ministry of Public Security thought that Li needed the protection of the China consulate more.

In addition, the judge also pointed out that the so-called delay in handling a case refers to the delay in hearing a case after filing a lawsuit, but this situation did not happen to Li. As the Canadian Ministry of Public Security proposed to cancel Li's refugee status, the case was quickly dealt with in court.

What should Canadian immigrants pay attention to?

Becoming a Canadian immigrant is the dream of many China people who want to immigrate. Canada has beautiful scenery, beautiful environment, blue sky and white clouds, and very fresh air quality. In addition to these environmental factors, Canada also has a good education system and high-quality educational resources. However, if you want to immigrate to Canada, you must first have a certain understanding of the actual situation in Canada, including climate change, geographical location, laws and regulations and related immigration procedures, otherwise you may fall into the immigration trap or encounter other immigration risks. Canada's geographical location determines its changeable climate, and the climate gap between different regions is also great. Generally speaking, the climate in eastern Canada will be colder, while it will be hotter in central Canada. When the temperature is high, it may even reach 40℃ In the west, the air is humid and the climate is warm. It is colder in the north, especially in the Arctic Circle. When the temperature is low, it will even be below MINUS 60℃. In view of the disparity in climate change, you must choose the place of immigration according to your physical condition and adaptability, so as to ensure that your health will not be affected.

Immigration in Canada is different from that in the United States. There are many ways of immigration, and the immigration policies of different provinces and cities are also different. For example, Quebec, Canada, adopts the mode of investment immigration, which is also very popular with China people, because the immigration mode in Quebec only requires the applicant to invest a certain amount in the local area to get the opportunity to apply for permanent residence, without buying a house or starting a business. The immigration requirements in BC, Canada are very low. Applicants for immigration have no age and education requirements, and the required materials are simple. The speed of immigration is also quite fast. The minimum investment is only 200,000 Canadian dollars to get the opportunity to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Many people who want to become Canadian immigrants also choose BC province.

In addition, there is a requirement for those who apply to become permanent residents in Canada, that is, the applicant must live for 730 days for five consecutive years. This obligation needs to be fulfilled until you become a Canadian citizen. If people who fail to meet this requirement want to become permanent residents of Canada, the immigration strategy will become very complicated. Therefore, if Chinese want to immigrate to Canada, please consult and inspect in detail before going through the immigration formalities, so as not to cause unnecessary losses to their own economy or inconvenience to their future lives.
