On January 21, local time in the United States, the U.S. Immigration Service published an immigration statistics report for 2020 (from October 2019 to September 2020), showing the public some of the major immigration data in the United States that year! According to the report, the United States received a total of 7.7 million immigration applications in 2020, of which 7.6 million cases have been completed.
In general, the data on immigration in the United States is definitely declining compared to previous years. Both the number of immigration applications and the cases handled by the Immigration Service are all historical lows in the past five years. The reasons are very clear to everyone. On the one hand, the longer and longer terror schedule has dissuaded countless dream chasers; On the other hand, Trump announced a series of immigration restrictions during the epidemic, which undoubtedly completely shattered the final enthusiasm of the US intended immigrants.
This is why Canada chose to advertise in the U.S. last year to attract tech workers in Silicon Valley to invest in Canadian immigrants and enjoy the Canadian Global Tech Talent Program (GTS), the BC-Tech pilot, Ontario Technology Pilot Program (OINP),etcto get permanent residency status faster instead of waiting indefinitely like the United States.
American immigrants after Biden took the helm
After Biden, who was well-respected by the public, took office, not only the local supporters applauded, but the popularity of the overseas immigration circle has also risen unprecedentedly! Can Trump's many reforms on all legal and illegal immigration, permanent residency and naturalization policies be improved in the future under the excuse of "America first"?
We can see from relevant reports in the United States that Biden did submit a package of immigration reform bills to Congress immediately after taking office, mainly around illegal immigration, reunion immigration, visa quotas, refugee assistance, protection of workers, backlogs, etc. A series of existing problems can be regarded as a real improvement proposal from the overall content.
If this bill can finally be approved by Congress, it is definitely a good thing for people who want to immigrate to the United States. But please note that the only ones that our domestic groups can really benefit from are reunion immigrant applicants and a very small number of technical elites who can apply EB1-A! For ordinary practitioners, even the improved immigration bill will still face a deadlock where the threshold is too high or the cycle is too long.
Canada may become a global immigration depression
In the case of the optimistic improvement of the US New Policy in the later period, a better outcome may be to give you a work permit and enter the country first, and then enter the long waiting period. I believe that they have experienced the global epidemic in 2020. Most people will certainly take extra care to settle in the United States with only temporary visas. The sense of security is too important to overseas Chinese!
Canada’s Million Immigration Program just happened to give prospective immigrants a full sense of security. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Canada is a depression for global immigrants. During the epidemic, immigration proceedings will continue as usual, and the application thresholds are in line with the public and diverse. Immigration pathways can better suit different applicant groups. If the conditions are good, you can take the Federal Express Entry. If the conditions are poor, there are also guaranteed projects such as Atlantic AIPP.
Therefore, friends who have overseasimmigrationplans in 2021, don't have to stare at the United States and Australia. Canada may really be your treasure of choice!
