Canada's Policies On Immigration With Foreign Investments

Canada, is well known for being immigration friendly over the course of history and it is an ideology that Canadians value. Immigration offers an opportunity for Canadians to seal in crevasses within the Canadian economy and stabilizes it from leaks which causes inflations and recessions. However, as opportunity presents itself, trade-offs are likely to follow. Today, Canadians are facing challenges regarding unemployment rates as well as increases in the cost of living. According to Collacott Martin, a senior at Fraser Institute who represented Canada in the department of external affairs, the housing prices are rising due to an increase in population among large cities in Canada. Collacott, predicted that newcomers of Canada cost between

Immigrants today now have the privilege of entering and residing in Canada but along with this privilege, there are also barriers that impede their integration and deprive them of equal opportunity in the society. The undervaluing of foreign education and credentials has emerged over the years as a huge obstacle faced by recent immigrants who seek employment in the areas that they have been trained, and worked in for decades in their respective home countries. For years, newcomers in Canada have been denied inclusion into the Canadian labour market simply because of policies that were

Responsible for the increase in the housing market are foreign buyer’s - purchasing in cash, as well as the provincial government. Thus, the government may implicate laws and regulation in order to stop this increase. Although there are multiple efforts being made by the government, their negative repercussions may be more severe. The implementation of “price caps” by the government will aid in lowering the house market. These price caps will asses the property on the basis of its size and features and will have a “max price” it can be listed for. Likewise, the government may further their efforts by Imposing a speculation tax on people who flip houses within a short period, perhaps within two or four years of purchase. The tax could apply to all homes or be limited to non-principal residences. These possible efforts will lead to the demise of the GTA housing market

Dating from early British era, Transgender, which is an umbrella term for lesbians, gays and bisexuals have been officially charged for crime called “ gross indecency”. This penalty of this crime at first was death, which later on moderated and became imprisonment for a period of 10 years. Through 1947-1961, many amendments were made to the criminal code, which further criminalized the idea of trans genders. During the 1960s, the British Parliament deiced to decriminalize some of the offences of Tran genders. In the May of 1969, following the prime ministers elections, after Pierre Elliot Trudeau was elected as P.M., his government passed Bill C-150. This bill decriminalized gay sex for the first time

This survey was introduced to observe the way society lives in today's world, and how they live paycheck to paycheck. The Canadian Payroll Association had a conclusion after this survey that most Canadians are not happy with the way they live. Because of the weak economy, Canadians believe that they are not going to be able to retire at an early age, there just won't be any money saved. Statistics prove that the economy in the housing market is the biggest factor most families face in today's world because society dictates that we need things in life to survive. People are living above their means, and that’s why the credit card companies are getting richer.

On June 28, 2012, the Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act (Bill C-31) took effect. This act was put in place to bring further reforms to the asylum system, add measures to address human smuggling, and add the requirement to include biometric data as part of a temporary resident visa, work permit, and study permit application. These changes were claimed to help the system to function better, cut down wait time, make the process faster, screen applicants better, and to prevent needless complications. This resulted in many changes to Canada’s asylum system.

There is a lot of discrimination and wide separation of those owning housing and those who are homeless to try and get housing. The article states, “The supply of affordable housing has not kept pace with the needs of the population. There has also been a decline in the amount of affordable rental housing in many cities. Combine that with declining incomes and a widespread reduction in social benefits for low-income Canadians, and you get a population that has to spend a greater percentage of its income on housing.” This is a huge imbalance of those owning the house and having the money to own versus those renting the

Immigration is just one of many critical components for Canada’s economic future and its immigration policies are centered primarily around humanitarian and economic concerns (Ansari, 2017). Canada requires that if you are to emigrate to its nation other than as a refugee, you must be a skilled worker or business person who will help build the economy. A system of points is utilized to distinguish applicants who qualify under these conditions from those who do not (Government of Canada: Immigration, 2017, July 20). Previously, the Canadian government also implemented a business immigration program that helped quicken the entry and permanent residency process for immigrants with business and/or management experience who were willing to make

Over the past 50 years Toronto has been continuously evolving and transforming due to various changes in the local, national and global macro environment trends. In the 2011 census, Toronto has reached a population of 2.62 million (Statistics Canada 2011 census). This demonstrates a 5% growth since 2006, indicating Toronto’s continual growth primarily driven by immigration into metropolitan areas. Toronto has the largest immigration rate in 2006 according to Statistics Canada, with 49.9% of Toronto’s population being foreign born. With this large increase in population, inequality gaps are continuously growing due to the lack of affordable housing, and access to well-paying jobs. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are struggling

Residents in this census mainly live in apartments in building with five or more storeys, which take up 95.7% of total private housings. The housing price is not that “affordable” in this census tract, because a significant percentage of population spends more than 30% or more income on shelter. However, with build in storeys for commercial purpose in the apartment buildings, residents live in this census tract can easily access to grocery stores for basic life needs within five minutes walk. This census tract is one of the central commercial spine in Vancouver.

In Vancouver, British Columbia the housing market has been termed as an-affordability crisis, in which Vancouver’s middle-upper class are painted as the main victims of an accelerating housing market. Speculation as to what or who is heating up the housing market is controversial, some explanations point to varying demographics, limited geographic space, and low interest rates but overall there seems to be an emphasis toward foreign investors, specifically buyers from mainland China. Kerry Gold’s piece, The Highest bidder: How Foreign Investors are Squeezing out Vancouver’s Middle Class, in The Walrus parallels alongside this view. Gold may not be wrong in her assertion, much effort, money, and research has been pooled into investigating

The rising of house prices in Canada is like the train which has gone off the rails. In Vancouver – the average home price has jumped almost 40 percent in 5 years (Dmitrieva, Apr 14, 2016), more to the point, houses which are purchased but uninhabited are increasing in Canada; because many rich foreigners try to make a profit from reselling house, but foreign buyers are nor the only reason for real estate problems in Canada. The real estate market’s regulation is ineffective and low interest rates of mortgage are the main causes of the housing market bubble in Canada. The overheating of real estate can be moderated by the practical regulation and effective forecasts from more datas.
