Today’s update: the Department of Home Affairs has released the general wait times for applicants granted visas in June 2021.
A term has recently taken off: “lying flat” — the counterpart to another equally popular term right now, “involution”. These days, the phrase you hear most often is: “You lot keep grinding, I’m lying flat.”
Have you tried every avenue in Australia, only to find your plans can never keep pace with the changes — endlessly searching for the next opportunity yet still hesitating, unwilling to give up the overseas lifestyle you’ve grown used to? Then Canada, itself one of the world’s oldest migration countries just like Australia, might be worth a look.
Manitoba is one of Canada’s three Prairie provinces. Located at the heart of the country, it is a major transport hub with excellent connectivity nationwide. The province enjoys four distinct seasons — cold winters and warm summers — and is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada, earning it the nickname “Canada’s Sunshine Capital”.
British Columbia is a province in western Canada, one of the country’s four largest provinces. Its southern border adjoins the US states of Washington, Idaho and Montana, and it serves as Canada’s gateway to the Asia-Pacific region.
Thanks to Canada’s high quality of life, excellent education system, and its vast territory with a relatively small population, it has become a top choice for many Chinese families seeking better education for their children and a higher quality of life. Along with the United States and Australia, it ranks among the world’s leading migration destinations.
Canada’s Million-Immigrant Plan! Fast invitations, no IELTS required, low work-experience requirements → how do you break through and choose the right “one” for you!

Canadian and American migration programs have long been the two options that high-net-worth individuals in China compare and choose between most closely. Both countries’ outstanding education resources, along with comprehensive healthcare systems and comfortable living environments, represent the quality of life many aspire to. However, looking back over the migration trends of the past decade, we’ve found that after the migration boom around 2012, momentum has gradually settled over the past two years. Migration competition between the two countries has entered a “best of the best” phase.
Canada is well known as a high-welfare country. Public healthcare, social assistance, unemployment benefits, pensions, pregnancy benefits, parental benefits, the Child Benefit (the “Milk Money”) and other entitlements accompany every stage of life, from cradle to grave. Today we take a closer look at Canada’s Child Benefit.
Canada offers a huge variety of migration programmes — nearly a hundred in total — and every year new migrants arrive through different pathways. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is one major branch of Canada’s migration system, and each province has its own nomination categories. Among these, Saskatchewan’s skilled migration programme is especially popular: it’s the only province where applicants can apply for skilled migration without needing four IELTS bands of 6.0, without having studied in Canada, and without an employer offer — as long as your points are high enough, you can enter the pool and wait for selection.
