"to immigrate to Vancouver from hong kong you needed one million dollars in the 90s" I believe it was more like anyone with a million bucks had an open invitation. I do not believe only millionaires could get in.

I agree with Bearcat. The USA is the destination of choice by a wide margin, no ifs or buts. Switzerland is a nice place to visit or retire to, no way a place for financial growth. The USA has plenty of the latter plus mountains, canyons, oceans etc etc. It's sad you don't get it, LT.

So people from China/India have more exposure to the USA than say, Vancouver. (to immigrate to Vancouver from hong kong you needed one million dollars in the 90s) That's false. It has long been easier to emigrate from China or India to Canada than to the U.S.: Message 19923939 (and links cited in that post) Canada immigration does have a category for people who invest large sums in the local economy, but the U.S. also has such a provision, though the U.S. threshold is actually higher than Canada's. The main difference is that you can emigrate to Canada without any money or family there if you amass enough points under their immigration system, which rewards education, work experience, age, and language proficiency in English and French, among other things. pathtocanada.com So the information you are spreading about Canadian immigration law requiring Asian immigrants to have a million dollars (in the 90's or now) just simply isn't true.
