Not really. The level of wealth required to even consider emigrating overseas eliminates a much larger percentage of Chinese than either Japanese of South Korean. Then qualifying as a non-refugee immigrant into Canada raises a number of barriers that I suspect (but am uncertain of) make those that are not highly educated or have significant funds to invest less likely to make it through the process.
I suspect that one big reason for the greater number of Chinese immigrants today is as a result of the greater number of Chinese immigrants in the past & the family ties that draw more people from China to join their extended family here.
That makes sense.
You educational level matters when it comes with immigration.
It is one pain in ass process, irritated me, pissed me off, and exhausted me, and my situation was not the most difficult case due to educational and career background.
Considering I'm pretty good at speaking English (I'm not the best writer though) I remember my reading ability just made it to the accepted level for immigration. And I have f***ing post secondary degrees. So it even needs good financial background in your family to support you for language training as well.
I would love to have more Japanese immigrating to Victoria.
I don't have a single good Japanese friend in victoria as they all went back to Japan!
