就在加拿大叫停出资移民被炒得沸沸扬扬之际，加国官员称，方针收紧可纾缓请求人数，并加速批阅积压的请求。有移民参谋估量，新法案对中国大陆有钱人影响最大，有意移民者或将目标转往条件想对宽松的美国。
加拿大每年吸纳25万名移民，最大来历地是中国，而加拿大则是中国人第三大移民抢手地，中国人首要借出资方法入籍加国。经过数年暂停接受移民请求后，加拿大于本月6日发布入籍法修订法案，全面修订自1977年起施行的入籍法。
依据新方针，取得持久居留权的人士提出入籍请求后，需在加国住满的年期将由现时的4年内住满3年，改为在6年内须住满4年，每年至少在加国住183天，并须提出交纳所得税依据作为住在加国4年的证明，而不是像如今，毋须提交任何住加证明。别的，4年的居住年期，不会像如今把成为持久居民前的住加年期核算在内，即要在提出入籍请求后真正住满4年。
换言之，修例后，移民加国的居住年限需求比美国和澳洲别离长一年半和一年，分析相信会削弱移居加国的招引力。
其次，加拿大又需求请求入籍人士考试的年纪规定，由现时的18岁至54岁，扩展至日后的14岁至64岁，请求人需求在没有翻译员的协助下以流利英语和法语参加对加国知道程度的知识测试。
此外，请求入籍费日后将增加两倍到300加元，而加幅更惊人的是诈骗移民罚款，日后将增加99倍至10万元，最高刑期亦大幅由一年延长至五年。最后，新版的加拿大入籍请求表上，将加入“长住加国目的”的条款，若请求者入籍后回流原居地，可能被指造假，而请求入籍时供给失实材料者，当局有权剥夺其公民身份。
加拿大公民及移民部长克里斯·亚历山大在声明中说，新法案将有助平缓当前入籍请求积压的32万多宗个案，希望可把批阅时刻大大缩减至一年。至于已递送入籍请求者将不受新例影响。
当前，中国人更多使用香港作为出资移民加拿大的“请求地”，依据材料显示，加拿大 2011年的移民请求中逾七成中国人是经香港领事馆递送的；截至2013年，在5万多份积压的出资移民请求案中，七成由香港领馆递送。可见加拿大是香港和大陆人的移民抢手地，而在香港和中国内地均有供给移民参谋效劳的关景鸿意料，言语关难不倒港人，估量新例将对内地居民影响最大。
优势比对
美国合适奋斗 加拿大合适生活
首要，在行政区划分上，美国叫“州”，加拿大叫“省”；在天气温度计量上，美国用华氏温度，加拿大用摄氏温度；在里程核算上，美国用英里，加拿大用公里；在汽油单位上，美国用加仑，加拿大用公升……因而大大都人以为，在生活细节上，加拿大更挨近中国一些。
其次，出资人欲移民，无非是奔着经商环境、子女教育、社会福利这几点要素而去，美国职业更多，经济总量更大，所以在理论上来讲，生意上的机会也就更大。
教育方面，两国体系大略相似。加拿大90多所大学以公立院校为主，差异性很小，教育质量基本上能维持在一个水平线上。由于教育经费首要来历于省政府拨款，所以奖学金首要关于本国公民和持久居民。而美国大学则更多会集在私立学校，其经费首要来历于自己、公司或校友会捐献。加拿大大学的膏火比美国低，所以美国也有不少学生在加拿大留学。福利方面，北美兴旺的社会体系下均有极好的福利制度。
两国最大的区别在于医疗。美国政府长时间致力于解决的一个疑问即是全民医疗稳妥。当前美国采纳的形式是自己购买，自付有些。美国一有些人虽有稳妥，却因自付有些难以承受而不去看病。加拿大在这方面更“社会主义”，不只政府供给医疗稳妥，连医院、理疗等医疗机构也全都属国营。新移民一张健康卡到手，就几乎啥都不用愁了。
第三，加拿大出资移民无任何附加条件的直接移民签证，登入后即可享一切教育医疗福利。但在国内等待时刻较长。较高的免面试率，8至10个月面试， 8至12个月拿移民签证，全程需18至24个月。政府担保还款，无任何危险，无任何运营需求，请求人取得绿卡后可自由定居在加拿大任何省份及城市，5年里累计住2年保留身份。花费较少但处理时刻稍长。合适资产高且资产来历明晰的管理经验丰有钱人士。可一步到位拿绿卡。美国EB-5出资移民可较快取得有约束条件签证，在美国居住2年后可请求绿卡。出资50万美元，需求1至3个月内考察及面谈，并完成出资后6个月内取得I-526签证，这以后居住当地，参加运营24个月后可请求绿卡，下个月后拿绿卡。50万美金出资款，5年返还；项目管理费和美国律师费另计。项目属于债务型项目。有必定危险，项目建议人是公司，国家不担保资金安全。有必定参加运营需求。请求人先取得有条件签证，需居住在项目建议地，参加项目的运营。可较快取得有条件签证，资金来历需求低，合适家庭资产殷实，流动资金较多的人士。属于债务型出资项目，略有危险。
第四，美国比加拿大纬度低，气候对比温暖；加拿大相对对比冰冷。若请求人在移民加拿大后更想住在美国，其实也不难。美加两国来往十分便捷，过境免签证，凭汽车驾照即可通行。并且美国劳工部不将加拿大公民视为外国劳动力，所以加拿大公民可长时间在美逗留或作业。
雪上加霜
美国即将收紧EB-5出资移民
关于美国出资移民而言，中国出资人选择的通常都是EB-5出资移民的区域中间项目。截至2014年1月9日，美国移民局批准的区域中间总数到达516家。事实上，区域中间项目相当于一个私募基金管理人。他们首要在市场上联系一些需求融资的开发商，写一份商业计划书，描绘怎么能够影响地方经济并提高工作率。准备好一切材料后，向移民局请求项目预批阅。取得移民局的预批阅后，区域中间基本上能够对外营销，从海外经过与移民中介协作，召开各种项目推介会招募出资人。
出资人经过“出资”区域中间项目，不用直接承当创造工作以及运营管理的职责，这关于大都不熟悉美国商业环境的出资人无疑是个福音，同时也是区域中间项目招引海外出资者的最大原因。据移民局核算，90%以上EB-5出资者选择出资区域中间项目的方法移民美国，EB-5区域中间移民计划成为出资人的首选。
所以，EB-5项目承当起了私募的职责。相对比而言，美国运营者经过EB-5项目取得的资金远比从银行贷款来得容易，更何况遭遇了金融危机的美国银行一向一蹶不振。因而，越来越多的美国出资项目选择了区域中间供给的资金。
但是，引进EB-5项目出资有必要按照EB-5区域中间解决当地人工作的需求，即每位出资人有必要“直接或间接创造10个工作机会”。所以，EB-5区域中间项目聘请了专门的经济学家，按照相关公式“核算”出“间接创造的10个工作机会”。
不过，如今美国移民局已经明显收紧了区域中间项目的批阅。在2013年10月份，纽约曼哈顿的一家闻名酒店的EB-5区域中间项目请求遭到回绝，同时坐落曼哈顿42街的另一个酒店项目的EB-5区域中间项目请求也被退回。
国土安全部总检察长单位最新发布的《出资移民EB-5区域中间检查报告》指出，现行出资移民审阅法令及方法，对国内安全及金融次序已形成危害，因而需求美国公民及移民效劳局近期内有必要加强审阅出资移民请求。
种种迹象表明，美国有关方面正在收紧EB-5出资移民的目标工作区项目的批阅。显然，这关于中国的移民出资人未必不是功德。

One clear lesson from the housing crisis is that everyone involved in single-family and multifamily housing – from private lenders to government agencies to residents – must understand and respect their rights and responsibilities in the housing market. The rules and regulations governing the primary and secondary mortgage markets should ensure adequate consumer disclosures and protections and provide for effective counseling to prospective and current homeowners to help them make the good financial decisions that will keep them in their homes.

During my last week, I climbed Adam’s Peak (7,359ft). It may not be the tallest mountain in the old kingdom, but it’s certainly the most Kandyan. The majority of my fellow mountaineers were old women, bearing gifts for the Buddha. It was an unforgettable night of trumpets and lanterns, 8,000 steps, and the occasional sermon. By dawn, several hundred of us were perched on the summit, with most of Sri Lanka spread out below. Marco Polo described this view in about 1299, and I like to think that it prompted his bold (if slightly premature) assessment that here was the “prettiest island in the world”.

Collaborators at Harvard helped him make it convincingly boring.

Permafrost isn't Alaska's only climate problem. As its temperatures rise (up 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit year-round in the past 60 years and 6 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter), there's not enough rain to offset the higher amount of evaporation, so surface soils dry up â a drying amplified by thawing permafrost. The result? Increased risk of wildfires.

Aslan’s book appears to be a work of history, but reveals itself as one of faith. Aslan's imperative is always to scrape away the layers of myth created by self-seeking individuals and institutions – especially the Church – and get back to a “true” voice. The hope is that a more real Jesus can better inform the contemporary world. One can call this project fundamentalism or Protestantism but as the debates that run through Aslan’s endnotes show, at heart it is an American pursuit: the continued attempt to answer the question, What would Jesus do? Appear on Fox TV, perhaps, or aim for Broadway?

Before going further, letâs break down some of the jargon. Before the crisis, the GSEs were private firms that would create mortgage-backed securities and retain the credit risk. They had an implied backstop from the government. Since the backstop was only implied, this insurance was never explicitly priced. Meanwhile, private-label mortgage-backed securities (PLS), which took over housing in the 2000s and are associated with subprime loans, did not have this credit risk guarantee. They were thought to be safe as a result of stream of private financial engineering techniques.
