Q: What is the application procedure for investment immigrants in the United States?
A: Usually, to apply for immigration to the United States, you must have business in the United States, invest more than 500,000 US dollars, and employ 10 American residents or citizens for more than two years. However, the applicant can also directly or indirectly invest and hire employees by purchasing ready-made business or part of business (capital purchase). Usually the application period is about two years. After approval, the whole family can get a green card, and even their children under the age of 19 can become permanent residents of the United States. However, this kind of visa is conditional, which means that the immigration department will inspect for two years to see if the applicant has invested and hired ten local people for two years. If all goes well, the visa conditions can be cancelled after two years.
Q: My family has applied for skilled migration, and my spouse is the main applicant. Now I realize that my score is higher than her and my English ability is better than her. what can I do?
A: You can explain to the Immigration Bureau through your lawyer that you want to transfer to the principal applicant (P, A). If there is enough reason, you should be accepted to transfer your name. If it is not passed in the end, you can apply to suspend or return the document first, and then send it to the main applicant.
Q: I am 26 years old. I graduated from university and worked for two years. I want to study in Canada or immigrate. What are the visa rates and fees?
A: Immigration and studying are two different things with different conditions. Immigration counts as one point. With your age and education, you should have the opportunity to apply for immigration, but you must know your major and work experience. If your major is engineering, electronics, computer, etc. Your English is good and your work experience is in line with your major, so the chances of emigration are great. If you successfully immigrate, you only need to pay 10% to 30% of the tuition fees for overseas students, and you have permanent resident status, you can work and enjoy free medical care, insurance and other social benefits. On the other hand, studying abroad, generally speaking, depends on your luck and whether the immigration officer believes that you will return home after your studies. If in doubt, the visa will be refused. Even if you are allowed to study abroad, the annual cost will be hundreds of thousands, and you can't work, have no identity and no insurance. Therefore, you should really consider immigration before studying abroad.
Q: What are the advantages of entrusting an immigration company to apply? Can I apply for it myself?
A: Any applicant can apply for immigration or other visas by himself. The problem is that many people are inexperienced, which leads to inaccurate application forms, untidy documents and too nervous during interviews, which makes immigration officials suspect that they are hiding something, and the result is refusal. Entrusting an immigration company can evaluate it first to see if there is any chance of success, otherwise, don't send the documents and waste the application fee. With the experience of immigration consultants, they can often prepare documents, provide psychological counseling for applicants, train English and interview skills, and greatly increase their confidence and chances of success. Although there are few consulting companies with low standards, most of them have lawyers, accountants and experienced consultants, which is enough to provide useful help to applicants.
Q: Is it faster or easier to send the form to a third country (not in Beijing or Hong Kong)?
A: It is not necessarily faster to send the form to a third country. Now Hong Kong and Beijing are the fastest, and Beijing may be faster in the future, and the case will be closed in about one year. If it is sent to Singapore or the Philippines, it may take two to three years. Some applicants choose Africa, which may be faster, but it is worthwhile to consider whether the expenses such as air tickets are worth it. The difficulty is the same all over the world, and foreign interviews are not necessarily easier than Beijing and Hong Kong.
Q: Do I have to stay in Canada for a long time after getting a visa?
A: Under normal circumstances, every permanent resident must live in Canada for 183 days every year after reporting in Canada. But this 183 is not a hard and fast rule as expected. Some people can keep the right to live only a few weeks a year. Whether you can stay less than 183 days depends on whether the applicant has established relationships in Canada, such as investing, buying or renting a house, working, owning a car, bank account, etc. Some people who have obtained re-entry permits can stay in China for a whole year and still retain their right of abode. This problem is very complicated. You should consult a lawyer.
Q: What questions will immigration officials ask during the interview?
A: Immigration officials will ask many questions. The normal interview time is one hour. The main problem is around the applicant's education, work experience and major. In addition, some questions about life in Canada will be asked to test the applicant's adaptability.
Q: If you are sent to Canada to run a business, is it possible to be a corporate immigrant?
A: All immigration applications must leave Canada to apply. The Canadian government generally does not accept the change of Canadian identity. In addition, the applicant must apply according to the enterprise immigration regulations and requirements. Public figures are not necessarily qualified.
Q: I heard that you don't have to see the official if you pass the IELTS test. Is this correct?
A: This statement is incorrect. There are many reasons for seeing an official. In addition to IELTS scores, it depends on how many points other items add up. For example, if you get 5 points in the IELTS test and 64 points in other items, it adds up to 69 points, so you may have an interview. If Yasi gets 6 or 9 points, the total score will add up to more than 70 points. It is very likely that he will not have to face the official, but it is not 100%. Immigration officers can ask for an interview for other reasons, such as documents, background, employer's recommendation letter and so on. The immigration officer reserves the right to ask anyone to see the immigration officer.
Q: It is said that enterprise migration is particularly difficult. Is it true?/You don't say. How is the application procedure?
A: Actually, any immigrant or non-immigrant visa is very difficult. Immigrants from dependent enterprises. Enterprise immigrants must prove that the applicant has sufficient financial resources, preferably close to RMB 2 million, has several years of successful business experience, and can show that the property is legally acquired. Applications can be sent directly to the federal government or transferred to the federal government through the Quebec government. The immigration officer will consider the applicant's financial resources, background and plans to start a business in Canada. Whether this plan is feasible, what contribution it will make to the Canadian economy, and whether the applicant has entrepreneurial ability, etc. Interviewing is more difficult than investing in immigration, and applicants may be required to go to Canada first. Many immigration consulting companies do not accept corporate immigration, either because they are inexperienced or have a high refusal rate. If you intend to apply for corporate immigration, you must carefully choose an experienced lawyer or consulting company.
Q: I am a chemical engineer with a master's degree. 1990 has been engaged in market development since graduation. Is it suitable to apply after the reform next year?
Answer: To apply for skilled migration, you must study a major that is relevant to your job, while engaging in market development is not relevant to your chemistry major. Therefore, according to the current regulations, it is not suitable. However, the implementation of a new case, the abolition of vocational achievements and vocational training results, mainly academic qualifications (accounting for 30%). You have a master's degree, which should be given priority, but you should wait until the new case is implemented before deciding whether to apply. The new case may be implemented at the end of this year or early next year.
Q: If my application for skilled migration to Canada is rejected, how long can I appeal? When can I reapply if the appeal fails?
A: Under normal circumstances, if your application for skilled migration is rejected, you can't appeal unless there is obvious evidence that it is the fault of the embassy. Usually, lawyers will first consider making a written statement to the relevant embassy before resorting to Canadian arbitration as a last resort, usually within 30 days. If dependent immigrants are rejected, they can usually appeal to the court through their family members in Canada. If the complaint fails, we should first look at why it was rejected, and then consider whether to send it again. Generally, it is best after half a year; Either there is new information or materials, or the background has changed before delivery.
Q: Do I need to attend an interview to apply for skilled immigrants?
A: Generally speaking, skilled immigrant applicants have to be interviewed. However, if they score more than five points in the IELTS test, they may be exempted from the interview, but it is not 100%.

Q: In the process of applying for skilled immigrants in Canada, if you improve your academic qualifications or increase your work experience, you can supplement the materials. Is it helpful to apply?
A: If you improve your education, increase your work experience and change jobs, etc. , you can supplement the information at the embassy. In some cases, it will be very helpful for the application.
Q: If you successfully apply for immigration to Canada, who will decide which city to settle in? Are there any restrictions?
Canada is a very free country. According to the constitution, it cannot restrict the cities where individuals live, nor does it restrict entry and exit. Even if Quebec's application is approved, the applicant can live freely in any city, such as Toronto or Vancouver, and have the right to enjoy the welfare and free education in the province and city. However, sometimes we must pay attention to some special regulations or articles of association, especially for applicants in Quebec. In some cases, you should consult a lawyer.
Q: I heard that Immigration Canada will conduct background checks on applicants. What are the chances?
A: There are many factors in background investigation, but the probability is very low. According to the author's experience of more than ten years, there are only five cases when thousands of customers do background investigation, and the probability is about one in a thousand. Once selected, the extra time required for background check can be extended from several months to several years.
Q: What are the similarities and differences between skilled immigrants in Australia and New Zealand? Is it easier than applying for Canada?
A: Both Australia and New Zealand have technology, investment, business and dependent immigrants, and also have various short-term business visas. It is difficult to compare the application difficulty of these two countries, but it is not easy on the whole.
Q: How was the IELTS score?
A: There are two kinds of IELTS: one is studying abroad and the other is immigration. Immigration applicants must choose clearly so as not to give up all their efforts. The exam is divided into four parts: listening, reading, writing and speaking, and each score is 0 to 9. The listening part of Canadian skilled immigrants is not scored, and the total scores of other parts are added and divided by 3. An average score of more than 5 points means passing, and a score of less than 4.9 points means failing. With an average score of more than 5 points, there is a chance to avoid officials, but not necessarily, other factors should be considered.
Q: I applied to study in the United States, but I was refused a visa. Does this affect my application for immigration to Canada?
A: It is common to be rejected when applying for studying in the United States. It may not be your fault to refuse the visa, but the visa officer thinks you have an immigration tendency or other reasons. As long as it is not because of criminal record or other cheating, it will not affect Canada's immigration qualification.
Q: How should I score when applying for a dual degree in Canadian skilled immigrants (such as computer and finance)?
A: In terms of academic qualifications, no matter how many degrees you have, it can only be regarded as the highest academic qualification. If they are all big books, it can only be counted as one. But we still need to consider whether what we have learned and done is correct. If what you study and do is wrong, then no matter how high your education is, you can't apply for success. In addition, work experience must be scored in the occupation column before it can be approved. Both degrees have scores, but the computer scores are higher.

Why do I need to check my immigration file?
The simplest reason is that you can learn a lot of information through inquiry. In the past practice, we found that the application process of some applicants was very long, because some documents required by CIC were never submitted. This situation often happens to applicants who hire immigration consultants, which may be due to postal problems (such as lost mail) or the working attitude of agents. In addition, by asking, they may be able to make up in advance.
If you are preparing for an interview, it is necessary to check your file, because almost all interviews have a theme, and this theme, that is, what immigration officials want to know during the interview, will be reflected in the file.
If you just want to know the specific progress of immigration, you will find that the immigration file is much more detailed than the online e-client provided by CIC. In most cases, the electronic client only has 2-3 lines of information, which almost supplements any substantive content, while an ordinary file is usually 7 pieces of A4-sized paper.
