Trouble Shooting Example Cases

Mr. Cui runs a Hardware Provider / Server Service Support business back in Shanghai, China. He does not own the company in the legal sense since his wife and his mother-in-law holds all the company's equity. Yet, he knows the business intimately on both a technical and professional basis. Furthermore, he controls all the cash in the corporation through a bank account. This was a personal bank account. Cash holdings inside the corporate account are negligible due to years of tax-mitigating efforts.

In essence, because of his mother-in-law's dilutive ownership in the company, neither his wife nor him has the necessary level of unencumbered capital to make a successful application to New Brunswick Provincial Nomination Program for Entrepreneurs. A solution is required. We advised him to transfer his mother-in-law assets in the company over to him. Because he can easily prove his involvement with the company since its inception (which was several years back in 2002), there was no need for a minimum 6-month "resting period" to prove transactional authenticity.

With the newly acquired shares (properly structured in China so everyone interests are protected), he now fully qualifies to make the application. To further ensure his success, we then located a vendor and negotiated a CAD$100,000 investment (in the form of a vendor line of credit), in support of Mr. Cui's newly formed entity in New Brunswick. This means Mr. Cui hits the ground with adequate capital in support of his new venture in Canada. 

The result? He passed with flying colours. 

Mr Yoon is a small businessman in Shenyang, China, specializing in processing plastic raw materials into various consumer items (various plastic utensils etc.). His English was rudimentary and consists mainly of yes, no and goodbye. His children aren't particularly hardworking or bright. They suffer tremendously under the “pressure-cooker-style” of education and needless to say, being parents, Mr. Yoon was very worried.

Like all parents, he wanted his children to attend the best schools in the country. He could probably achieve that by paying a small fortune in bribes or perhaps sending the kids to some elite but private schools in nearby Beijing. He chose neither. Instead, he sent his children overseas to study in Canada. In doing so, his children were considered foreign students, and thus he paid a fortune in tuition fees.

Given his particular circumstances, we helped him apply under the PNP entrepreneur immigration program for Saskatchewan. He arrived in 9 months. His children achieved permanent resident status and thus, no more expensive fees. Furthermore, they actually qualified for further financial aid.

Remarks: Many families in China have had to spend almost CAD$13, 000 per year for their children's tuition fees in Canada. From starting English language studies to graduation from college or university, it will take at least 5 years. After they graduate and apply for a one year post-graduate work permit, they will totally spend almost CAD$80, 000.They have to wait 1.5 or 2 years to apply for immigration status in Canada when they finish 1 year working. It will cost another CAD$4500. The student must have good English skills and get at least 2 items for level 7 on the IELTS test. While they are waiting for approved of their immigration application; they must change to study permit and spend another CAD$30,000) on schools. They will totally spend at least 7.5 years and CAD$114,500. Therefore, parents who apply for PNP entrepreneur immigration choose the best way to save money and save time for their children to immigrate and study in Canada.

Mr. Chang is a successful mutual fund manager in Guangdong Province, China. He boosts cash assets of nearly CAD$850,000. Furthermore, he owned two apartments, both in the outskirts of Shanghai. A local Chinese immigration agency recommended him to apply to Canada under the Investor program. He did but was promptly rejected. The reason was "insufficient unencumbered assets". It would appear that all his efforts did not produce the desired result. Naturally, he was not a happy man and the same Chinese immigration agency called us up for a solution.

After going over his case, we found that Mr. Chang's merely had a 30% ownership stake in his real estate properties. The other 70% were split between his wife and a member of his wife's family. Adjusted for mortgage debt on his second real estate property, his net worth fell far short of the required assets. No wonder he got rejected!

A brief period of discussion and soul-searching ensues and Mr. Chang finally decided to create a subsidiary company in Canada. In so doing, he is eligible for permanent residency status via the Provincial Nomination for Entrepreneurs. In his particular case, Quebec was his choice. Primarily because Quebec has a very specialised stock market of its own with a lot of qualified industry-experts, and ultimately his subsidiary became a profit-center that nicely complement his business back home.

Mr. "M" had previously applied to Canada via some form of immigration pathway. Something happened and without giving a reason, Immigration Canada rejected his application. Mr. "M" would not disclose the reason for his rejection. He simply states he doesn't know what happened.

In evaluating his application, we had a problem with vertification issues. There was no way to verify certain issues in his past. In effect, we suspect Immigration Canada rejected him on this very basis. Because a local immigration agent did not properly process his application, Mr. M is for all practical purposes, "black-listed".

This is a tough situation but since there were no evidence of out-right fraud, we handled the case and simply re-applied. This time, everything went smoothly and he finally arrived in Canada as a landed immigrant.
