Classification of self-employed immigrants in Canada

# Canada Immigration # Introduction If you want to immigrate to Canada with your whole family, and you have certain experience and achievements in five fields, such as culture, competitive sports or farm management, and your whole family is in good health and has no criminal record, then you are likely to obtain Canadian immigration status through the self-employed immigration program. The following are the scores of self-employed immigrants in Canada. Welcome to read!

Scores of self-employed immigrants in Canada

In the process of handling self-employed immigrants, you need to reach 35 points or more. Self-employed immigrants do have their own scoring system, but this scoring system is only a general reference and does not have much significance. In the scoring standard of 100, as long as it reaches 35 points, it will meet the requirements. The score is only a side basis for the immigration officer's judgment, not the main criterion. So even if the score is higher, it doesn't mean success.

What is the standard of 35 points? As long as you have 2 years of self-employment experience and your age is between 2 1 and 49, that's enough. Therefore, among self-employed immigrants, the score can be ignored.

To put it simply, immigration officers will mainly look at three points:

The first is whether the applicant's self-employment experience meets the requirements, which can be said to be past achievements. This is also the first consideration for immigration officers when listening to materials. If there is doubt about the self-employed occupation, the immigration officer has the right to directly refuse the visa.

The second is the applicant's future business plan in Canada, which is to judge whether the applicant can continue his major and succeed in Canada in the future. Applicants should make careful plans at both business and professional levels.

Business plan, personal promotion plan, English level, spouse's education and occupation, family property and contact with Canada are all factors that need to be examined.

The third is whether the applicant can contribute to Canada, which many people often ignore when applying, but in my opinion, it is the key to the success of the application. There is no clear definition of "contribution".

This is not like the NIW national interest exemption in the United States, which clearly stipulates that it is to contribute to the whole country. However, one thing is certain. Applicants need to make use of their professional abilities to contribute to specific groups outside the social, community, cultural, educational or business scope of Canada.

Canadian self-employed immigrants can be said to be relatively relaxed in many immigration projects, if you are an outstanding talent in the fields of writers, journalists, directors, producers, musicians, painters, international sports referees and so on.

Article 2 Canadian immigration methods

Canada's federal application for skilled immigrants adopts a scoring system, which comprehensively scores the applicant's age, education level, professional category, work experience and language ability to determine whether the applicant is qualified as a skilled immigrant in Canada.

Chapter III Types of Canadian Investment Immigrants

I. Overview

Such immigrants must be willing to invest capital or technology in Canada, thus promoting Canada's economic development, increasing employment opportunities and enriching cultural life. Once the applicant meets the relevant regulations formulated by the Canadian government, he can obtain an immigrant visa.

Second, the basic types

(1) Federal government invests in immigrants

(2) Quebec government invests in immigrants.

(3) the province nominated investment immigrants

1. Federal investment immigration plan

The asset requirement of federal investment immigrants is 6.5438+0.6 million Canadian dollars (the assets of the applicant's spouse can be counted), and the applicant must prove that the source of its assets is legal and reliable, and must have at least 2 years of management experience in the past 5 years.

The applicant has invested 800,000 Canadian dollars, which is guaranteed by the Canadian government and will be repaid in full after five years, with zero risk and zero interest. Applicants can also apply for a loan, and only need to pay 220,000 Canadian dollars as the five-year interest of the 800,000 Canadian dollars loan, which is equivalent to 220,000 Canadian dollars.

Federal investment immigrants have a high interview rate and a high visa success rate. At the same time, because the investment funds are guaranteed by the Canadian government, there is no risk.

Moreover, because there are no requirements for the applicant's academic qualifications and English and French proficiency at present, the permanent resident visa obtained by the whole family has no conditions attached and there is no obligation to engage in business in Canada. The whole family obtained permanent residence status in one step.

2. Quebec Investment Immigration Program

(1) You must invest in Quebec, Canada and participate in the immigration selection process in Quebec. (Applicants are required to have assets of 6.5438+0.6 million Canadian dollars or more, and have more than 2 years of management experience in five years. It is recommended to be under 50 years old and have a bachelor degree or above. )

(2) Choosing to invest in Quebec, immigrants do not need to settle in Quebec. Because Canada allows residents to move freely, they can choose to live in any province.

(3) Quebec Investment Immigration Plan includes many approved funds for investment in Quebec.

(4) Quebec's investment requirement for investors is 800,000 Canadian dollars, which will be used by Quebec without interest for five years and the principal will be returned after five years. Or pay 220 thousand Canadian dollars to the government in one lump sum, which is non-refundable.

(5) It usually takes 3-6 months to know whether the interview with Quebec Immigration Bureau has passed.

3. Provincial Nominated Investment Immigration Plan

The provincial nominated investment immigration project requires less assets (350,000-600,000 Canadian dollars) and personal management experience, and the investment method is mainly active investment, which solves the immigration problem that some applicants can't apply for investment immigration because of insufficient assets or weak business management experience, and also caters to the tastes of some applicants who want to go to Canada for entrepreneurial immigration. The nomination of business immigrants in the province requires language requirements, and the language ability should reach IELTS 4.0 or CLB5 or above.

Up to now, six provinces in Canada have launched provincial-nominated investment immigration programs, namely British Columbia (BC), Manitoba (MB), New Brunswick (NB), Newfoundland (NL), Nova Scotia (NS), Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Saskatchewan (SK).
