Canada- A Favorite Destination of Chinese

Consistent with a latest survey, Canada is highly praised as the third most popular destinations amongst the Chinese nationals who are intend to tour abroad. The primary place is grabbed by Australia, followed by Singapore and as talk about; the third place is clutch by Canada.

The next position was grabbed by Japan, which got its grade just after the United States, South Korea and the New Zealand. The report was carried on by a joint collaboration by SUCCESS Foundation (which holds its stand in Vancouver).

It has been merely few weeks when Canada has received its Approved Destination Status, different the land of Kangaroos, which received it in the year 1999. If this facet is seen, Canada has climbed the ladder faster as compared to Australia.

Also, with this boost in tourists and joint immigration, Canada and China are celebrating 40 years of joint diplomatic relations between both the countries. If thought and forecast are to be believed, number tourists (including Chinese) would visit Canada in the coming years.

The link due to Immigration has allowed the country to improve the figure of tourists every year, be it on Tourist Visa, Investor Visa, Student Visa, to name a few. These aspects have allowed both the countries to build stronger relationships with each other.

Moreover, the survey states that Canada is highly praised as one of the calm places with amazing and beautiful landscape along with fresh air and other options.

Amends in Federal Immigrant Investor Program of Canada

The government of Canada is going to make some proposals in the immigrant investor category and therefore would be appear with certain amendments in the eligibility criteria destined for the same. Believe is that the change would assist in strengthening the Canadian financial system even additional as more immigrants would be capable of contributing in it.

Consistent with the new proposals, new investors would be requisite to have monetary assets of $1.6M. As compared to this number, earlier it was necessary to own a personal net worth of $800,000.

Over and above this facet, changes would need the applicant to make an investment of $800,000, a figure which has double its original quantity of investment $400,000, which was in harmony to the former rules. The same was available in Canada Gazette on 26th June, 2010.

Till the time the revision is implemented, the government will not recognize any of the application forms under the apprehensive category. This would be done to stop the extreme flocking of applications around the year. Since the year 1999, it has been the first time that the alterations are going to be inculcated beneath this category. Keeping in mind the easier eligibility criteria for this program, larger figure of immigrants used to enter the country under this category.

Also, after the revision would be finalized, the new forms would be processed alongside the earlier ones, a facet which will let the government to know the benefits of the amendments at the first go. In accordance with Minister Kenney, Canada is in require of Investor immigrants and the amendments would help the country in keeping up with the pace of changing economy.

IELTS Value in Canada

Consistent with new guiding principle and regulations announced by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), IELTS would be made more precious for potential applicants who are intending to work and be located in in Canada. They would be obligatory to show the evidence of their language proficiency in line with the new approved test score for the applications made under Skilled Migration category. The changes are appropriate for Federal Skilled Worker category and Canadian Experience Class.

As said by Christine Nuttall, who is the Communication and Stakeholder Relations Director with Cambridge ESOL, IELTS is a big way for future applicants to prepare themselves for working and living in an English speaking nation. The test proves that the candidate has the caliber to hold conversations in a range of circumstances.

As it is made clear by the CIC, the test takers are put in the additional benefits as many industries ask for the proof of language proficiency. Consequently, when these test takers go for ILETS, they are found one step in front in gaining entry in the labor market of the nation.
