In terms of details of education and employment, the role of a 1-year tourist visa for some wealthy people

This kind of visa allows the holder to enter Canada repeatedly within 1 years, with no restrictions on the number of entries, but generally only for each entry. Applicants need to provide relevant materials to prove that they are closer to their motherland, so as to ensure that they will not apply for refugee status instead.

According to the data released by the Canadian government, the 1-year visa has a remarkable effect in stimulating the tourism industry in Canada, and the number of tourists from some major countries has surged. In 216 alone, the number of Canadian tourists to Chinese mainland increased by 23% year-on-year. Chinese mainland tourists spend an additional $1 billion each year. China has become Canada's third largest tourist source country, following the United States and Britain, which have visa-free treatment for Canada.

At the same time, the 1-year visa also allows visitors to stay in Canada for a long time without applying for permanent residence status in Canada. Canadian immigration experts believe that the 1-year visa promotes the growth of tourism in Canada, allowing relatives to stay for a long time, but also risks being abused for tax evasion.

Due to loopholes in Canada's tax system, some wealthy foreigners, who may be the father of this family, transfer their income in other countries to their spouses or children living in Canada without restriction, so as to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance. These wealth will usually be used to invest in real estate in Canada, and today, this practice is particularly popular in the Greater Vancouver area.

At the same time, the fathers of these non-Canadian citizens can enter Canada through a 1-year visa and live in Canada for a long time without filing tax returns. Their families enjoy social welfare in education, health care and other aspects in Canada without paying taxes.

At present, more and more nationals and immigration lawyers demand to modify or cancel the policy of multiple-entry visas for ten years. At present, some local experts in Canada are suggesting that the government take measures to fill the loopholes in this system and prevent Canada from becoming a tax haven for the rich around the world.
