Many Hong Kong (& East Asian) immigrants return home. Why?

[steaky]

So it makes complete sense that these immigrants from Hong Kong and his children (2nd/3rd generation Canadians) return to Hong Kong or China where there are tons of opportunities to make a fortune, whereas in Canada the doors are closed to them.

I heard there are thousands of businesses in Richmond, BC that have connections with Hong Kong or China. Perhaps these businesses would retain those people (origin from Hong Kong and China and their descendant) at least in Richmond, BC to conduct the export of these Canadian natural resources to Hong Kong and China.

Yeah, most of them are based in Hong Kong and China, and speaking of exporting Canadian natural resources (especially coal) to China, China doesn't want to hire incompetent Canadian workers but bring their own Chinese workers to Canada. How about that?

1) Canada has a commodity economy. Oil, gas, lumber, meat, seafood, wheat and minerals are her main exports.
2) When you look at this forum, you would find Canada even draw people from first world countries such as UK, Korea, Japan and USA

Hey! You forgot Canola!

Yeah I said underclass people from first world countries but the majority are from third world countries like Philippine, India, Bangladeshi, Pakistan, etc.

Thanks for reminding

Canada has a commodity economy but its main economy is service industry, which explains why Canada needs a steady flow of immigrants. Without the money immigrants bring in, the Canadian economy collapses. Most revenues generated by oil and gas production in Alberta don't stay in Canada but are diverted into the pockets of European oligarchs who literally owns Canada. By the way have you ever asked yourself why gas is so expensive in Canada, an oil producing country?

From wiki:

the Canadian economy is dominated by the service industry, which employs about three quarters of Canadians.[10] Canada is unusual among developed countries in the importance of the primary sector, with the logging and oil industries being two of Canada's most important....

I did say at least in Richmond, BC. Who knows if the expansion of the nearby coal terminal expansion (which would hire additional 50 workers) in Surrey, BC would be handling these additional coal shipment to China. The hiring of these additional terminal workers are not up to China.

Is it really easier to get skilled good-paying jobs in Hong Kong vs. Canada?

What I'm getting at is Canada is a third world country without the money immigrants bring in. 50?

From Globe & Mail:

A dispute over Chinese workers at a B.C. coal mine enters its final round this week with a high-stakes judicial review.

Labour groups that brought the case are hoping for a decision that will not only quash work permits for 201 workers approved to come to HD Mining's Murray River project near Tumbler Ridge, but also trigger changes in Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program – through which hundreds of thousands of workers come to the country each year.

That's why they all move back to Hong Kong & China, innit?

Might be but the cost of living in Hong Kong is much higher than Vancouver, BC especially property prices.

Some will remain in Canada to conduct the exporting and hospitality/tourism business. The number of tourist from Canada is on the rise.

It all comes down to jobs, jobs, jobs! What does Canada have to offer? Almost none, but it's obvious there are plenty of jobs for these people in Hong Kong. At least it doesn't have a ghetto like the Downtown Eastside filled with poor immigrants & crack whores.

Some? LOL. Yeah they are house-sitting the apts or houses their fellow Chinese citizens own in Canada. More tourists are coming to Canada? LOL.

You got to look at the bright side like the marinas of Vancouver's Coal Harbor, luxury hotels and cruise terminal near Canada Place.
