Canada announced Wednesday the cancellation of the Immigrant Investor Programpopular among wealthy Chinese. The Canadian government said the immigration scheme”significantly undervalued Canadian permanent residency” and they will replace it with anew Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Fund, which conveys an articulate message thatwhoever plans to dwell in Canada must make larger investment.
Chinese account for more than half of the immigrants who’ll face mounting immigrationdifficulties with Ottawa shuttering the wealth-based visa scheme. At this sensitivemoment, it is hard for potential immigrants to lodge protests against the Canadiangovernment, so they may vent their disappointment and indignation back on China: Whathas driven rich Chinese and the middle-class to migrate to the West? Does a lack offreedom and democracy in China’s society make them feel insecure both physically andfinancially?
Immigration to the Western world is a realistic choice for wealthy Chinese and someremark that China is now experiencing an “immigration wave.” It is inappropriate toconclude that China, with no rigorous tax imposition policy for the wealthy and a muchlower income tax rate, is “pushing” rich people to emigrate.
China is implementing increasingly stringent measures to protect private property and it isunimaginable to infringe on the possessions of the rich. Chinese public opinion is relativelytolerant toward the wealthy class because scorching cynical sentiments against officialshave diluted such hostility toward the wealthy class.
Private business owners live in a legally improved environment amid a stable socialatmosphere. Hence they have never encountered any special “calamities” in the reformera.
There is no denying that multiple layers of social knots exist in present-day China, likevehement competition for education opportunities, questionable food safety and severe airpollution, all of which have exhibited a sharp contrast to Western society. Improving theiroffspring’s life through immigration has long been attractive to a certain number ofChinese, including the burgeoning middle class.
Most of the wealthy class has contributed to China’s reform and opening-up and alsoobtained reward, so they should shelve the idea that the State still owes them.
China’s reform is aimed at building an equal and fair society with rule of law, an explicit andrealistic objective signifying that the legitimate rights and interests of the wealthy will bebetter protected but they are expected to assume more legal liabilities and moralobligations.
Immigration is a rather prevalent phenomenon in developing nations. What is important isthat we need to draw high-caliber overseas Chinese and capable foreign investors to returnto China.
In final analysis, maintaining the prosperity and stability of China conforms with theinterests of the wealthy.
The Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator the Hon. Michaelia Cash, has today announced an independent review into the Subclass 457 visa programme.
This is in line with our election commitment to review the 457 visa programme which has undergone changes in recent years.
Minister Cash said given the importance of the 457 programme in supporting employers in industries and regions which are experiencing skill shortages, and the potential of the 457 programme to contribute to productivity growth in the Australian economy, a review of the integrity of the programme in light of these reforms is warranted.
‘The review will aim to provide recommendations on how to maintain the integrity of the 457 visa programme, while not placing unnecessary administrative burdens on business,’ Minister Cash said.
‘This is in line with the government’s commitment to evidence based productivity reform.’
An independent panel, made up of members chosen for their experience in industry, government and migration, will conduct the review. The panel will be led by Mr John Azarias, a former public servant with an excellent understanding of migration issues.
The independent panel will provide the final report to the Assistant Minister by mid-2014.
Minister Cash said the panel will also be investigating important aspects of the 457 programme such as non-compliance rates among sponsors as well as examining the existing compliance burdens on employers.
‘While the Coalition is a government committed to deregulation and the removal of unnecessary red tape, we are equally committed to ensuring the integrity of the 457 programme,’ Minister Cash said.
