(excluding the applicant's parents and siblings).

2. Bridge to America
Canada borders the United States, so the two countries are close brothers. Even if Canada is not worried about Americans sneaking into the country, it is very convenient for Canadian citizens or immigrants to enter and leave the United States. New immigrants from China can enter and leave the United States indefinitely within 5- 10 years as long as they apply for multiple round-trip visas to the US Immigration Service in Canada.
China has many preferential policies for investment and business.
After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Chinese businessmen will enjoy special treatment in management and taxation when they return to China to do business. Generally speaking, local governments give strong support, give special preferential policies to some industries, reduce national and local taxes in full, and relax the business scope of specific industries.
4. Children go to school
Due to the limited number of places, China students generally need relatively high scores in TOEFL, GRA and GMAT to reach the entrance level of the school, which is not necessarily a good major, while applying for full or half prizes requires higher scores. As immigrants in Canada, they can enjoy equal treatment of citizens, and the difficulty of applying will be greatly reduced. With the same TOEFL, GRA and GMAT scores, you can apply for a better university and a better major, and you can also enjoy the low fees of citizens. If they are short of money, immigrants can apply for student loans from the Canadian federal and provincial governments to further alleviate the financial pressure.
5. Free and compulsory education
If you have children, you can send them to a school near your home as a new immigrant as soon as you arrive in Canada. Primary and secondary education in Canada is 12 years, and all public schools are free. According to Canadian law, children aged 6 to 16 must go to school. Children aged four to five can enter preschool classes in primary schools. As Canada is an immigrant country, almost every school has a special ESL course to teach English to the children of new immigrants. There are students of all colors in general schools, so your children won't feel special or discriminated against at school. If the school exceeds the walking distance, the school will provide a school bus to take you to your building every day. The schools here pay attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and protect their individuality. In a class, there can be different progress, measured by "grades" Students who study well may have entered the fifth grade, but students who study poorly may not even enter the first grade. However, one thing is very valuable, that is, there is no distinction between good students and bad students in Canada's education system, and the grades are confidential, so students who have learned almost the same are not easy to feel inferior, and naturally they can basically upgrade themselves consciously without cheating and other means.
6. Unemployment benefits
Unemployment insurance benefits help employees tide over financial difficulties when they are unemployed and have no income. In addition, you can also get unemployment insurance whenever you are sick, injured, isolated, giving birth, or have to take care of a newborn or adopted child all the time and have to stop working. The former is called ordinary unemployment insurance and the latter is called special unemployment insurance, both of which are subject to income tax. Under the new system, unemployment insurance is renamed employment insurance. This plan contains two main contents: unemployment income security, that is, unemployment benefits; Employment incentive allowance is used to encourage employment.
7. Old-age allowances and pensions
In order to protect the life of the elderly, the Canadian government has introduced various systems to ensure that the elderly have enough economic income to spend their old age after retirement. The federal pension plan is divided into three parts: basic pension allowance, income security allowance and spouse allowance. These allowances are allocated by the Canadian government from the total annual national tax revenue.
Basic old-age allowance: it is a monthly allowance for elderly people over 65 who meet the conditions of Canadian residents. Old people who are eligible for this allowance must apply for it themselves before they can receive it.
Income security subsidy: it is paid to the elderly who have almost no other income except the above-mentioned basic old age allowance, so as to maintain their total income at a certain level.
Spouse allowance: this is an allowance for the spouse, widower or widow of the pensioner. Together with the basic pension allowance and income security allowance, it constitutes the federal pension plan.
8. Medical insurance
Canada is one of the countries with medical insurance system in the world. Most communities have good hospitals, clinics or doctors' offices. All Canadian residents, citizens and permanent residents can usually get free services after registering for Canada's national health insurance plan. Medical insurance is paid directly by the state from taxes to hospitals and doctors. There is one doctor for every 520 people. The government's annual expenditure on health care is 52 billion Canadian dollars, and the per capita medical allowance is 1.800 Canadian dollars. Every province in Canada has a taxpayer-funded medical insurance plan to provide cheap and high-quality medical care services. After obtaining the health care plan, you will get a provincial health care card with an identification number.
