Canada Welcomes An Ethno Cultural Diversity And Follows The International Mandate

Research indicates that immigrant groups are likely to develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) at varying degrees irrespective of whether they are voluntary migrants or refugees. However, refugees are known to suffer higher rates of mental health disorders ranging from PSTD to depression (Rasmussen et al., 2012). It is also known that refugees are likely to have more pre-migration risk for trauma than voluntary immigrants. Even though most refugees flee their home countries to reduce the risk of distress, research indicates that the well-being of such immigrants deteriorates with increasing time spent in the host countries

The term "multiculturalism" has been used by the Canadians in two different perspectives. The first use of this word is descriptive; meanwhile the other one is normative. The former sense implies the description of various religious and cultural groups that the Canadian population consists of. The nation of Canada is based on people from various races, religions and cultural backgrounds and there is a general acceptance of cultural pluralism in the country. Since the nineteenth century, Canada has experienced various waves of immigration (Wayland, 1997). Moreover, it has been reported that by the 1980s approximately 40 percent of the people were of origins other than British and French; the two being the largest and oldest groups of people in Canada (Troper, 1989). The history of Canada gives a great deal of importance to the relationship that existed between the French and the British people. According to the statistics, the major population of the country at the beginning of the 21st century was composed of people from outside French and British heritage; meanwhile there were many people who presented themselves as "visible minorities".

The Interim Federal Health Plan of Canada [IFHP] sets out a guideline of specific healthcare costs that the government of Canada covers for refugees, protected persons and victims of human trafficking. The IFHP was implemented into Canada’s system in 1957, and was responsible for financing refugee health care in Canada until drastic changes to the program were implemented. When policies are implemented beyond the control of a vulnerable population such as the refugees, it is important we understand the implications of such changes and what that means for the health of the refugee population. The question stemming from this health issue is what can nursing leaders do to address the health inequities posed to the refugee

There have been correlations on the health of refugee arrivals and other migrants from developing countries. Having transitioned from camps for eighteen months, the family is at risk of developing or already having infectious diseases. The youngest child in the family being born on camp and in such harsh conditions, it is not rare that the child could have been in contact with a communicable disease. As a result of the social exclusion the family is facing, they are unable to be provided with efficient use of the heath resources that are available to other members of the community. Due to the stressful process of language and social difficulties, research suggests that whilst many migrants arrive in Australia with good health, their mental health tends to deteriorate after the first twelve months in the country (Anikeeva, Peng, Hiller, Roder & Han 2010). In Australia, approximately 93% of the population born overseas have been recorded as suicide deaths (Australia Bureau of Statistics (2012). Like any other refugee family, the Hakimi family will also have to overcome the health challenges they will face whilst settling into a new

There is a continuing concern and a rising awareness of the job protection of minorities. There are many jobs around Canada still today that don’t currently have a multicultural workforce. Really this could be considered a disadvantage of not having the opinions and thoughts from people that look at the world differently. The article Ottawa police in race with other forces to boost diversity talks about their efforts by Ottawa's police force to create a workforce that is truly diverse. This article is one solution that could be uses to overcome the lack of minorities in a workforce. Within the article, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau talks about how he does not feel they have a force that is representative of the community they are

Hi, Nic! This time I'd like to ask you what you think of appreciating diversity because Canada is often seen as a country more welcoming to immigrants than many others in Western world. Some analysts recommend that Japan should accept more immigrants to solve a labor shortage but many Japanese have negative feelings toward living with people from other countries. Do you have any experiences of being offended? Or what would you feel if people with different culture would live in the next street of yours? I know this is a weird question but I'm curious how Canadian society integrate

Canadian multiculturalism represents a form of ethnic regime through the powerful impact of multiculturalism in Canada, which recognizes variety of cultures and ethnicities. According to the Ethnicity and Ethnic Regimes lecture, multiculturalism is an “ideology that represents a set of social and political values that undergird the cultural pluralism model of governance” (Galabuzi, “Ethnicity and Ethnic Regimes slides,” 2015,). According to Canadian heritage mentioned in Ethnicity and Ethnic Regimes lecture, multiculturalism is “a relationship between Canada and the Canadian people. Our citizenship gives us equal rights and equal responsibilities.

Canada is celebrated as the most diverse country in the world. Here we do not discriminate against race, colour, culture, language, religion affiliation, nationality, ethnicity, economic status, sexual orientation, education, and occupation. Everyone is well received and treated equally.

Diverse culture is different culture living near each other. There are three types of acts the first one Constitution of 1982 then

“Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists; it is making a new space, a better space for everyone” (Ministry of Education, 2009). Individuals arriving from all around the world are a testament to this idea as their presence identify Canada as a remarkably diverse country and a leader with one of the highest rates of immigration in the world. Diversity envelopes many elements including ethnic and cultural backgrounds, gender, race, socio-economic status along with physical and intellectual abilities, all which are visible throughout classrooms and communities across Canada (Ministry of Education, 2009).

Canada is prevised as one of the world’s most diverse countries. What makes Canada so diverse is the fact that they welcome a lot of foreigners with open arms. A lot of people seek North American citizenship to be free from their communist abiding countries and to explore the many opportunities Canada and American have to offer. With all this diversity comes with some conflicting issues such as personal life beliefs, prejudice and unacceptance into certain communities. In the short stories “I’m a Banana and Proud of It” written by Wayson Choy and “Growing up Native” written by Carole Geddes explores the life of two individuals and their upbringing in diverse Canada and some of the hardships times they face.

Another problem with Canada’s multiculturalism is that many people don’t feel like they’re truly a Canadian citizen, resulting in ethnic enclaves. Canada has over 260 different ethnic enclaves, and many Canadians argue that it is not healthy to form ethnic enclaves where people of similar interests, religions, customs, language, and culture gather together. Another important issue to worry about is the racism that could happen at school if we do not teach them about diversity issues. There are some schools in Surrey, that are largely South Asian, which could perhaps lead to reverse racism and segregation. Many Canadians also believe that too many of these ethnic enclaves could lead to the end of Canada’s identity and culture. While it is

The broad aim of this proposed research is to examine Canada’s ethnocultural diversity and the use of CAM, specifically comparing the health-seeking behaviour and care use behaviour of Canadian residents of SSA origin with the rest of the populace. Additionally, the proposed research seeks to critically examine geographical, economic, biological, socio-cultural and prevailing health policy on CAM, and how these broader factors contribute to the less use of CAM among the elderly as compared to the younger people. These two broader aims are the gaps in CAM research both in Canada and other western countries. The proposed research seeks to achieve the following specific objectives:

In the early half of the 20th century, Canada was not known to be socially accepting of different races, nor were a lot of countries in the world at the time. However, after World War II, everything started to change. People started to stand up to these unfair rules, like the African-Canadians and First Nations did. In other cases, like the Vietnamese, they were gradually accepted into the Canadian Society. Throughout all the ups and downs, protests and court rulings, we can look back and thank this era for the diversity they created in Canada. The First Nations and the African-Canadian issues were significant, but the biggest clue that signified social change in Canada was from the Vietnamese

Canada has a long history of immigration. With the arrival of British in the 18th century to the gold rush in the late 19th century, and then to the settlement of the West in early 20th century (Burnet, Driedger &Block, 2014), Canada became one of the main immigrant-receiving countries. During 20th century, there was a huge number of immigrants entering the country between 1920s and after the Second World War. Even till nowadays,
