T...Its not as awsome as JimTan makes it out to be.<br /><br />The investor classification of immigrant means they have to have 800,000$C+ net worth and they have to give the govnt of canada 400,000$C that will be held in a 0 interest "investment" account. Basically the person is buying their way into canada by giving the government a loan.<br /><br />http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/business/investors/index.asp<br /><br />I would be supprised if the population losses continue for alberta being one of the few places with a growth industry.buff_butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312280863888753900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-40884852167307900612010-01-05T13:29:06.660-08:002010-01-05T13:29:06.660-08:00An article by Vancouver condo developer James Scho...An article by Vancouver condo developer James Schouw in the Vancouver Sun has been dissected, archived and commented upon at VREAA:<br /><br />“James Schouw in the Vancouver Sun – “Demand will always outstrip supply; Fundamentals and other factors don’t matter; Prices will rise; Don’t worry.”<br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yar6kh9" rel="nofollow">link</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-74235618679738464432010-01-03T23:40:06.423-08:002010-01-03T23:40:06.423-08:00Jim,

I read that part of the report and I think it means of all the people who are investors for a living, 61% came from china. Dont go thinking that all of these people are real estate investors. It just means they invest in things. Could be gold, could be the stock market and it could be real estate. <br /><br />I think you may be under the impression that they are all here to buy real estate and earn huge money, but this may not be the case.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361217381016612518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-76212904647121871172010-01-03T02:15:06.055-08:002010-01-03T02:15:06.055-08:00Guys,

I would like to see an update on his model based on the Q3 surge in migration.<br /><br /><br />http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/pubs/pop/pop093h.pdf<br /><br />Population grew 0.6% over Q2 and 1.6% over 2008. Natural increase up 1.8% over 2008.<br /><br />Biggest inter-provincial migration from Alberta 8k. Biggest single group of international migrants from China 23%. Chinese investors represent 61% of all Chinese migrants. <br /><br />“During the third quarter of 2009, B.C. gained 17,710 and lost 14,253 inter-provincial migrants, resulting in the highest net inter-provincial migration gain (+3,457) among all the provinces and territories. In addition, this level is significantly higher than the 1,484 net interprovincial migration gain seen in the third quarter of 2008.” <br /><br />“Net international migration continued as the main contributor to B.C.’s population growth over the July to September period. As a result of net international migration a total of 16,989 persons were added to B.C.’s population over this quarter.”<br /><br /><br />“Approximately 88 per cent of total landed immigrants to B.C. who arrived in the third quarter of 2009 indicated the Vancouver area as their intended destination. Upon their arrival, more than 93 per cent of all landed immigrants from Asia stated the Vancouver region as their intended destination. Relative to Asian<br />immigrants, a higher proportion of immigrants arriving from Europe, North and Central America and Africa settled outside the Greater Vancouver area.”JimTanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480972517925246528noreply@blogger.com
