加拿大移民新政不欢迎中国人 投资移民一年限700个
加拿大移民部2011年6月24日突然宣布对投资移民的申请数量设限,提出的原因是“申请太多接不完”。移民部宣布将自2011年7月1日起的一年,将只受理700宗投资移民申请,多一宗都不收。
移民部限制申请数量的措施,主要针对投资移民、技术移民及企业移民3个类别,自2011年7月1日起实施至2012年6月30日,为期1年。移民部会主力处理积压个案,因此年终时的赴加拿大的移民人数则不变。2010年加拿大吸纳逾28万名移民。
移民部对申请人数限制的新措施,2011年6月24日已刊登在《加拿大宪报》(Canada Gazette),所有移民申请必须在今年7月1日开放申请日起,送达Nova Scotia省的悉尼(Sydney)移民部中央受理申请中心 (Central Intake Office)才算,只有在限额以内的申请才会获得审理。以下为3类经济移民的新规定:
对投资移民的限制:
未来1年只受理700宗新增申请,超过部分则退回。
对技术移民的限制:
那些没有事先获聘、已有工作安排的申请人,一年新受理申请不超过1万个,在限额以内,29项优先引进专业的新技术移民申请,每个职业不超过500宗。
企业移民申请自7月1日起暂停,以后视情况再开放。
此外,所有申请收到的时间,是以悉尼移民部中央受理申请中心收到的时间为准,先到先得。
加拿大移民部一年只让收700宗投资移民新申请,对中国申请人的影响尤其大,2010年到温哥华的投资移民中,即有近七成来自中国。
自2005年以来,中国登陆加拿大的移民不管在家庭类别、技术移民类别的人数均明显下降,唯一硕果仅存的只有投资移民。在中国一个月的新增投资申请可能已经800宗。
Effective July 1, 2011, the changes will affect new applicants to the federal Skilled Worker, federal Immigrant Investor and federal Entrepreneur programs. The changes will not affect the number of permanent resident admissions in 2011 in these three categories.
“Canada continues to welcome historically high numbers of new immigrants each year, but the Government continues to receive applications that far exceed this number,” said Minister Kenney. “If we don't keep putting reasonable limits on new applications, backlogs and wait times will grow.”
In November 2008, the government first took steps to identify for processing those federal skilled worker applications that responded to Canada’s labour needs, such as applicants with arranged employment offers from Canadian employers or with experience in an occupation in high demand. In June 2010, the government released an updated list of 29 priority occupations and introduced a global cap of 20,000 for federal skilled workers, as well as a sub-cap of 1,000 under each occupation. Over the past year, CIC has received approximately 13,800 federal skilled worker applications under the priority occupations list (figure accurate as of June 24, 2011).
Now, for applicants who do not have an offer of employment in Canada, the government will further limit the number of new federal skilled worker applications that are considered for processing to 10,000 a year, beginning July 1. This limit will help better align the number of applications with labour market demand. Within the 10,000 limit, a maximum of 500 new applications in each of the current 29 priority occupations will be considered.
In addition, the Minister is introducing a cap of 700 on new federal investor applications. Although last year, CIC made changes that raised the minimum net worth and investment requirements, it continues to receive applications in excess of what is required. An annual cap on new applications will allow for progress on backlog reduction while ensuring that the Department has a sufficient volume of new files to meet its commitments.
The Minister is also introducing a temporary moratorium on new federal entrepreneur applications. Wait times for this program currently stretch to 8 years in some visa offices. By ceasing to accept new applications as of July 1, the government will prevent further processing delays. The federal Entrepreneur Program will undergo a review in the coming months to ensure that Canada is better able to attract and retain innovative entrepreneurs.
Since these changes were implemented in November 2008, the backlog of pre-2008 federal skilled worker applicants has decreased by 50%. As well, priority applications are being processed in a period of months rather than years, as was the case prior to the 2008 changes.
