Besides, if I go back to China to live for 30 years to work, there is NO way I will come back to Canada after I retire... No friends, no family, no social lives, no circle...

Well, I LOVE to travel back to Canada when I retire but I still enjoy my circles where I've been living there for 20 to 30 years right before retirement. And I believe most people would agree...

You did not make to US by yourself from China. So you used Canada. Now most of your tax paid to the the States.
The only reason you did not cut Canada lose just because you want to use it again by bring your parents over and let Canadia tax payers support them.
Go wherever you want. Who needs you.
do you know US and Canada has tax treatment? they can share persion plan whatever. ....knowing the system well before point your finger to others.

There is no tax treaty on income tax between Canada and US

The only tready close to it is on social credits.
You pay US income tax and pay the remaining amout to Canada if Canadian tax is higher then US tax. The amount is less than 10% of the tax paid to US.
As soon as your parents come over, you will put them into the government subsidized housing and let Canadian taxpayers pick up the their medical bills. After your sponsorship is approved, you probably then will declare your non tax residence status and pay no tax to Canada.
Do not mistake kindness for weakness. I somehow believe you would not be able to enjoy the full benefit if you do come back for your retirement.
The basic rule of a conservative value is that every one should pay for himself, and there is no free lunch in the world. In Canada the socialist government rob rich people and bribe poor so they can keep this ass

tight on the office chairs and enrich themselves and friends. That is where the problem is.
Some chinese went so far to claim that "THEY IMMIGRATE BECAUSE THEIR PARENT CAN IMMIGRATE." What a joke behind.
Some poeple say that government waste money on other social programs. Yes that is very true. But you can not ask government to give your money for your own purpose based on that. Just like government has the power to rob the rich, you do not posses that power.
The Canada government and social system are the root of these problems. It is very reasonable to ask the children, if they want bring their parents in, pay for all the medical expenses. The responsible for the old parents' living should lie in the Chinese government.
