Rich Chinese Plead

Rich Chinese Plead: At a news conference in Beijing, Canada was urged not to ditch the immigration applications of thousands of Chinese nationals as the Tory government ends a backlogged investor program, according to Huffington Post. The move affects more than 65,000 applicants, most of them Chinese. Some had applied to come to Canada as long as five years ago and The Conservative government is defending recent changes to federal immigration initiatives after a group of Chinese millionaires issued a public rebuke on Tuesday. The federal budget last month announced the termination of the federal immigrant investor and entrepreneur programs, and eliminated a large and enduring backlog of applications.
