What's wrong with immigrating to Britain?

1. What's wrong with immigrating to Britain?

Myth 1: Children born in Britain can automatically acquire British citizenship. As we all know, the laws of the United States and Canada stipulate that as long as you are born there, you can obtain American and Canadian citizenship, but this is not entirely correct in Britain. Whether a child can acquire British citizenship depends on his parents' status in Britain. If one of the parents has acquired British nationality or permanent residency at the time of the child's birth, the child can automatically acquire that nationality.

If both parents did not acquire permanent residency or British nationality at the birth of the child, the child will not acquire British nationality through registration until either parent acquires permanent residency or nationality. If a child immigrates to Britain after birth, he or she will not be able to obtain permanent residency until his or her parents obtain permanent residency.

Myth 2: After emigrating, you will become an Englishman. China's account will be cancelled.

Many people are often misled by this sentence, thinking that immigration represents permanent separation from the motherland and the household registration system cannot be retained. However, the fact is that people may not become British after emigrating. Only with permanent residency can they keep their China hukou. Unless you choose to enter the UK directly, once you enter the UK, you cannot have a China passport and a China account.

Myth 3: Buying a house in Britain can make you immigrate.

This method is feasible in some European countries, such as Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Cyprus, all of which have housing immigration policies. Many Singaporeans kill two birds with one stone when investing in real estate. But in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other traditional immigrant countries, buying a house is not allowed. In order to limit foreigners' real estate speculation, these countries also levy various taxes on real estate, because they know that houses are used for living, not for speculation, nor for exchanging immigrants.

For the current British investment immigrants, applicants who successfully apply for T 1 visa can invest in corporate bonds of British companies or stocks of British listed companies, and they can freely choose and match according to their own needs ~

Myth 4: After emigrating, children will find it difficult to adapt to the school environment.

Many people who have a lot of assets immigrate to Britain mainly to give their children a better education, but at the same time, parents will worry that their children will not adapt to the English learning environment and it will be difficult to integrate into the social circle of local students. For children born in Britain, it is of course no problem to adapt to British education. But for those children who have been studying in China for some time before emigrating with their parents, it does take some time to adapt to a different environment, but it is not as difficult as everyone thinks.

First of all, the school will certainly provide corresponding help. Just as most English schools teach in small classes, teachers can help students more easily and concretely. Secondly, parents must encourage their children to make more friends, communicate with teachers and classmates, and adopt a more open and inclusive attitude towards British education. After all, the learning environment in which children live and the knowledge that they contact inside and outside the classroom are very different from those in China.

2. Advantages of British immigrants

As a famous capitalist society with a long history, Britain's advantages in basic medical insurance, settled natural environment and internationality are unmatched by many countries.

1, convenient international transportation.

Many European countries can exempt several countries from visas, so can Britain, which is a very convenient standard for people who frequent other countries 1. Britain allows dual citizenship. Holding a British passport to travel to many countries and regions around the world at 150 can get a visa-free salary and can live, study and train freely in Europe.

2. Stable social management

When immigrants choose to emigrate overseas, they are very concerned about the social security situation at the immigration arrival station. According to statistics, the average annual incidence rate in Britain is extremely low, and everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation are stable and orderly. Commercial and residential buildings, residential quarters and residential quarters often have a sound and reasonable social security mechanism and a very good public security order. Britain is a country ruled by law, which respects human rights and protects legal property.

3. Perfect diagnosis and treatment management system

NHS is the diagnosis and treatment management system in Europe and the most critical part of the management system of social security system in Britain. It is their key standard that everyone can have consistent health service standards. The advantage of the National Health Insurance System (NHS) is to ensure that everyone does not have to worry about getting sick.

4. Real free education

School moral education in Britain is famous all over the world. Children aged 3- 16 can enjoy free private secondary school cultural education and pure English education. Four of the top ten training bases in the world are located in the UK, among which more than 20 bases have entered the top 150, bringing together many institutions of higher learning such as Cambridge University, Oxford University and Imperial College London.

5. A sound profit management system

The British government is very concerned about people's physical and mental health, and has spent a lot of budget on the security and stability of the social security department and people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. The British people and permanent residents can be said to have a sense of security and medical care. The management system of social security system covers a wide range, covering the welfare of pregnant, retired, laid-off workers, low-and middle-income people, disabled people, patients and other people.

Europe is the most capitalist country.

The British financial market is very mature and developed. At present, the exchange rates of RMB and Euro are project investment opportunities.

3. Groups suitable for emigrating to Britain

1. People who want their children to receive extraordinary American and British education.

The pure British education management system attaches importance to the all-round shaping of children, excavates their bright spots, and jointly shapes elite talents without losing their individuality. British G5 elite university contributed 23 1 Nobel Prize winners, with a global share of 25.8%. The United States ranks second, but its schools are 20 times that of Britain and its population is 5 times that of Britain.

2. College students who want to stay in the UK after studying abroad.

Many international students are faced with the embarrassing situation of staying in Britain without real identity after graduation from university. Overseas students who are allowed by domestic standards will consider emigrating to this well-known country during their studies or after graduation. For overseas students, you can calculate the settlement time during the study period, and get a residence permit in the UK immediately after graduation. Job-seeking students, like locals, can greatly increase the probability of interviews.

3. People who expect to quickly acquire the true identity of a powerful country.

Britain is a contemporary power. Before that, its GDP was the fifth in the world, the first in the Commonwealth countries, and it was named as a cultural and educational power. In terms of financial industry, new york ranks first among the three major international financial centers in the world, so immigrants who love the true identity of the United States, Canada, Australia and Britain must not miss it!

4. People willing to invest in foreign securities.

Under the natural environment of global tax information exchange and RMB depreciation, whether to allocate overseas assets has become a difficult problem that big property managers have to deal with. According to the British immigration project, not only can the project get very good returns by investing in safe British bonds, but it can also obtain the true identity of China citizens all over the world. It is definitely a super choice of 1!

5. People who like simple and convenient immigration methods

The chief representative of Britain is immigrants, and British overseas enterprises will send management to open offices in Britain in large-scale activities in Britain. To put it bluntly, visa processing for chief representatives of overseas companies refers to the visa processing necessary for British overseas companies to send their management to set up offices or subsidiaries in the UK to conduct large-scale activities in the UK. It is stipulated that there must be a head office or an organization with overall strength in China, and it is planned to register a branch or subsidiary in the UK, with about 2 years' management experience in this enterprise. If the shareholders' equity of the company cannot exceed 65,438+02%, they may apply.

4. Maternity benefits for British immigrants

In Britain, the maternity law stipulates that women can enjoy maternity leave for up to 52 weeks, of which 39 weeks are paid and the next 13 weeks are unpaid, which is the envy of women in other countries.

1, notice period

Employees can take maternity leave at any time before the expected date of delivery 1 1 week, but they must inform the employer of the date of taking maternity leave 15 week before the expected date of delivery, and then they must inform the employer at least 28 days in advance if they need to change it.

2. Compulsory maternity leave

Employees must take compulsory maternity leave for two weeks after delivery. During this period, the employer shall not allow employees to come to work.

3. Ordinary maternity leave

A total of ***26 weeks, the employer must pay the workers according to the statutory maternity leave salary. Employees must work continuously for 26 weeks 15 weeks before the expected date of delivery, and their salary reaches the minimum "national insurance" standard before they are eligible for "statutory maternity leave salary". According to the "statutory maternity leave salary" standard, the first six weeks are 90% of the monthly salary, and the last 33 weeks are paid according to the "maternity leave salary standard".

4. Extra maternity leave

Those who have served for more than 26 weeks 14 weeks before the expected date of delivery can take extra maternity leave. Additional maternity leave begins at the end of normal maternity leave and can last for up to 26 weeks. For those who ask for extra maternity leave, if they intend to return to work early, they must inform their employers at least 28 days in advance. During the period when the employee requests extra maternity leave, the employer is not required to pay any wages. If a woman doesn't want to return to work after maternity leave, she must inform her employer in advance according to the regulations, but she doesn't have to refund the statutory maternity leave salary in full (usually only two months' salary).

5. Raise maternity leave pay

Many companies can pay employees who have served for a period of time (such as more than one year) during the extra maternity leave. For example, a multinational investment bank provides pregnant female employees who have worked in the company for more than one year with 39 weeks' salary plus 90% of 13 weeks' salary, so if you don't stop working for one year, the annual leave will still accumulate, and the salary is basically the same! Of course, ordinary units don't have such good benefits. Usually your 13 week salary is 90%, and the 26-week salary table is good.

6. Maternity leave for men

If the man has served the employer continuously for 26 weeks before the baby is born (15 weeks) or within one week after receiving the notice, he can choose to enjoy the paid maternity leave (1 week (adoption) or 2 weeks (childbirth)) (cannot be used alone). A baby should take leave within 56 days after birth or adoption.

7. Parenting leave

After one year of service, after giving birth to or adopting a child, each child can take parental leave (unpaid) for a total of * * * no more than 18 weeks, which should be used before the newborn is five years old (or five years before adoption, or the adoptee reaches 18 years old in another five years at the time of adoption, or the disabled child expires before reaching 18 years old).

Each child can take four weeks of parental leave every year, and the employer should be informed three weeks in advance. Due to commercial factors, employers can ask employees to postpone parental leave within six months. If an employee requests to take parental leave after maternity leave, the employer shall not refuse.

5. The education system of British immigrants

I. Age and grade

British children start primary school at the age of 5 until they graduate in the sixth grade, age11; Then I entered the middle school stage from grade seven, and took the GCSE exam in grade ten and eleven (equivalent to the senior high school entrance examination in Chinese mainland), so the stage from grade seven to grade eleven can be regarded as the junior high school stage in Chinese mainland.

After the GCSE exam, some students choose to enter the technical college, while others continue to study in grades 12 and 13, and take the final A-Level exam (equivalent to the college entrance examination in Chinese mainland). Therefore, grades 12 and 13 of A-Level can be regarded as high schools in Chinese mainland. According to the results of A-Level, graduates will be admitted to different universities or may fail in the list.

From the table below, we can intuitively see the recommended scores of different age groups in Britain (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Second, junior high school education

School-age children from 1 1 to 16 enter the junior high school stage from grade 7 to grade 1 1, and generally take GCSE exams in grades 10 and1. For international students who want to go to middle school in Britain, the most suitable entry point is grade seven to grade nine. Due to the great differences in the teaching contents of primary and secondary schools between China and Britain, English has become the language of study and life, so children will be given enough time to adapt and adjust themselves from the tenth grade to meet the GCSE unified examination.

In addition, in fact, the earlier children start studying in the UK, the smaller the gap with British students (especially in language and English subjects). Experience tells us that the younger a child is, the stronger his ability to master a new language. From the perspective of application strategy, because there are a large number of applicants in China, and the number of junior high school students is still the largest, those popular private schools that control the proportion of international students often have fierce competition for high school entrance, and because they will give priority to their junior high school graduates, this is the best way to win the competition in junior high school.

GCSE exam mainly includes English, mathematics and science (biology, physics, chemistry and computer science) and 4-5 elective subjects, such as foreign languages, business, music, geography, history, design and technology, sports science and so on. Students in public schools generally take the subject 5- 10, while students in private schools take the subject 1 1- 12. The Committee of Private Schools announced that the rate of private school candidates who scored 2/3 in the senior high school entrance examination was three times higher than that of public schools.

With the reform of the education system, GCSE scores become more and more important in college admission. Universities in Britain and even the world, such as Oxford and Cambridge, will also require GCSE scores on the basis of reviewing A-Level scores. Therefore, GCSE scores higher than the university admission requirements will obviously make applicants stand out. It is recommended that students who are willing to enter such universities in the UK make plans in advance.

Third, high school education.

If you miss the opportunity to enter a British private school before the GCSE stage, but want to enter a top British university, China students still have a chance to cut in at the A-Level stage and compete with British students through the British college entrance examination.

In Britain, if you choose to continue to study in ordinary high schools in order to go to college, GCSE will enter a tense two-year high school stage immediately after the end of the unified examination, which is also called SixthForm. Most middle schools in Britain have junior high schools, and some only have junior high schools. Therefore, there is a special sixth-grade college, which provides students with a-level courses.
