20 1 1 Information: Immigrating to Canada directly obtains a permanent green card.

Different from the conditions for converting the green card of American investment immigrants into a formal green card, once the immigration is successful, Canadian investment immigrants can directly obtain a permanent green card of Canada.

There are three forms of living in Canada as immigrants:

1. Temporary residence: short-term residence is allowed, and local citizens do not enjoy any welfare benefits. After the visa expires, they must leave the country.

2. Permanent residency: obtain immigration status, or "green card", allow permanent residence in Canada, enjoy the same treatment as local residents, attend school for free, receive free medical care, and travel freely between China and Canada without any restrictions. Obtaining immigration status means enjoying the same welfare benefits as citizens of immigrant countries without giving up China nationality. You have the right to live in Canada forever as an immigrant, without changing your China citizenship.

3. Citizenship: When you become a Canadian citizen and hold a Canadian passport, your nationality changes and you become an overseas Chinese.

Kaisheng immigration experts explained that according to the relevant requirements of Canadian investment immigrants, if you want to apply for Canadian citizenship, you need to live in Canada for three years within four years after holding a green card before you can apply for Canadian citizenship and hold a Canadian passport. If you only want to hold a green card for a long time without changing your nationality, you only need to live in Canada for two years in five years before you can apply for extending the next five-year cycle. Canada recognizes multiple nationalities, so it will not force you to give up your China nationality. If you have become a Canadian citizen, you can show your Canadian passport when you return to China.
