This has always been a common theme in Asia/South East Asia and is nothing new.
The biggest barriers are:
1. Money/Income
2. Language.
3. Education.
You can't fit in if you don't know the language, or literate. That's what makes Student visas so valuable, because it can give an anchor to an family to move abroad.
Education, you can't survive abroad w/o income and this is usually hand in hand w/ a degree.
Money, well, money is good everywhere.
- theflyinghorse 7y ago> You can't fit in if you don't know the language or literature I would invite you to visit Richmond BC which happens to be majority Asian (on top of my head 72% +) and majority of that Chinese. A Chinese national moving to Richmond would not struggle too much without English language. Why did you mention literature at all?
- filoleg 7y ago>Why did you mention literature at all? Not OP, but being literate has a very tangential relationship to literature, so I think you might have just misunderstood what he meant by that word.

- munk-a 7y agoA lot of metro-area services that extend into Richmond don't have chinese language support, and moving to a neighboring city will present a number of issues as signage very quickly drops off to english only once you cross the Fraser. Additionally interactions with officials are likely quite stressful if you're very weak in english - the local Services BC almost certainly has quite good language coverage, but law enforcement would be hit or miss - ditto with emergency services (Ambulance, Hospital, Fire). Lastly, if you're going for residency or citizenship then you'll need solid english or french comprehension, and you'll likely be going through the downtown vancouver citizenship office.
