(13,553 posts)from 1993-1997. Most of the students at the international school I worked at had lived in Canada (and the US/Australia, but mostly Canada) for a few years to get their visa prior to 1997. When they came back, they entered an international school rather than the local government schools.
They had all gotten their ducks in a row prior to the 1997 transition back to China.
Golden Visas still exist. Countries have minimum spends to get one. I am not sure where Canada is now, but it's one of the higher price point ones. Canada doesn't have a federal program, but the province of Quebec has one of the easiest investment profiles in the country for a golden visa opportunity. "Applicants must have acquired a $2.0 million Canadian dollar net worth, agree to invest $1,200,000 Canadian dollars for 5 years, show intention to reside in Quebec and have a minimum of two years management in a company during the last five years and have had a minimum of two full-time employees."
Not easy.
