A Comparative Study on Livelihood Requirementsby Status of Sojourn in Korea and CanadaMinji Kim
Abstract: This study was initiated for the need for unity and clarity in terms of the reliability and predictability of immigration policy for income regulation, as specific details about the ability to sustain a livelihood for long term sojourn status in Korea depend on announcements or guidelines. In order to analyze the income requirements for the ability to sustain livelihood for the domestic long-term sojourn status, it divided the domestic long term sojourn status into employment, marriage migrants, residence and permanent status under the Immigration Act. In addition, by analyzing the provisions of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation, the feasibility of asset requirements for each sojourn status of foreigners residing in Korea was reviewed. Based on this, to improve livelihood requirements for each sojourn status, clarification of livelihood requirements under the Immigration Act and income requirements standards based on the monthly minimum wage were suggested.
