Immigration mega-fraud: the rich Chinese immigrants to Canada who don’t really want to live there
Immigration fraud as the public typically understands it involves various schemes to allow unqualified people to live and work in Canada.
Yet, bizarrely, Wang’s case involved clients willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to AVOID living in Canada when they were perfectly entitled to do so, having already obtained permanent resident status.
Understanding their motivation is key to understanding how Wang found such a steady stream of customers.
Wang’s clients wanted to be able to maintain their PR status without actually living in the Great White North, since their jobs and businesses were back in China. And by faking their presence in Canada they would eventually be able to claim Canadian citizenship, with all the privileges it confers, including the right to live in Canada – eventually.
Canada's 'immigration jail'
That anyone should immigrate to Canada while regarding living there as a burdensome task to be endured or avoided might sound weird, but the concept is so common among some Chinese immigrant circles that there is a word for it: yiminjian, or “immigration jail”. The term refers to the period of compulsory Canadian residency (now, four years out of the previous six) which one must suffer before applying for citizenship. Think of a Canadian passport as the get-out-of-jail card.
Just another example of Chinese people skirting laws (i.e. cheating) en masse.
The "concept" of cheating in China just doesn't exist and/or doesn't have the same meaning as it does in the West.
There's no "shame" involved in getting caught. If you get caught you move on an find another way to cheat.
