Canadian Citizenship Assignment

The Luckyday Citizenship program is an amazing opportunity to receive financial aid for college, and an opportunity to bring in students who show a passion for community involvement. I am interested in the program because it will bring me together with like-minded people who share the same interests and goals as me. It appeals to me because I want to meet people who want to get involved and do fun and helpful things for the community. I want to meet genuinely nice people with a passion for helping others. I want to meet people with skills and abilities that they use to do positive things. What I want to bring to Southern Miss and the Hattiesburg community is my passion for playing music and my desire to be involved.

If it were up to you, and you had the choice whether or not to give undocumented citizens a chance at citizenship, would you? Many people believe that they should not have a chance at citizenship because they came here illegally. Every person has their own opinion on this topic. This debate is one of many debates going on in between the candidates or even the politicians, but of course they all have their own views and reasons on it. Everyone should consider that they should because either we are hurting families or they can help improve our economy. In the next three paragraphs this argument will be influencing you to side with my claim, that undocumented citizens should get a pathway to citizenship.

Over a century ago, the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution was implemented to grant citizenship to individuals born within the country. This was the first time that it was defined what it means to be a citizen in the U.S. While the amendment was created to address the citizenship of slaves, it is currently under speculation in regards to granting U.S. citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants (Gans, 2012). While there have been many arguments to place restrictions or eradicate granting children of undocumented immigrants U.S. citizenship, the constitutional right remains the same: if you are born on U.S. land, you are a citizen (Angelo, 2013). This paper argues that the birthright citizenship of U.S. born children of undocumented immigrants should continue to be granted based on the underlying principles of the 14th Amendment and the possible implications of ending birthright citizenship. First, this paper describes birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment, as well as its use in several Supreme Court cases that are significant to this issue. Then, various implications of eradicating birthright citizenship are discussed. Before discussing the possible consequences of eradicating birthright citizenship, it is imperative to discuss the history and principles underlying it.

I don't think they achieved full citizenship because they still faved segregation, they don't have complete rights, there was racism. Some ways they faced segregation were their public spaces were separate and more run down than rights. Blacks couldn't go the same places or do the same things as whites with whites. A lot of people were hostile toward them because they had been taking there jobs. Although the 14 amendment said they had full citizenship they didn't because they still couldn't vote . Another way they weren't full citizens was they couldn't serve in a jury because they were former slaves. One way they faced racism was with the ku klux klan (kkk) because they wanted to drive them out of a political life. The ku klux klan (kkk)

Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) determines whether or not someone is eligible to immigrate to Canada. There are 3 different sections of the policy, but in general, it factors in nationality, age, language ability, family members, education, work experience, and income. Within the different areas of the immigration policy, which are economic, family reunification, and refugee, there are more specific things looked at in applicants. In the economic area, applicants are rewarded points based on their level of education, ability to speak English and/or French, income, and previous work experience. The family reunification section includes spouses and children joining family members that are already living in Canada, or same-sex couples that are not legally married if there are restrictions in the country they are coming from. These immigrants have to provide proof and demonstrate that they are related to, married to, or in a committed relationship with the person they claim to be joining. A smaller portion of the immigrants coming to Canada are considered to be refugees. Refugees must be part of a humanitarian resettlement program, which is a Canadian program that helps people seeking protection outside of Canada with the help of international partners, or claim for asylum protection, which is where Canada provides protection for those who would be in danger if they returned to their own country.

Thirdly, The Canada Act, 1982 this act ended all of Canada`s left over reliance on the United Kingdom. Patriation, which is essentially is a procedure where ambulation change takes place, was the process used. It was also the first act to overtake in both of Canada`s languages, French and English.

Immigrating to Canada six years ago has given me many opportunities. Being able to adapt to a new country, culture and learning a new language takes time and courage and a positive attitude. I have struggled learning to speak and write English, but despite that, I have demonstrated confidence in my actions and I have continued to make progress. Learning to cooperate with everyone with empathy has helped me gain self-reliance, confidence, and courage to help everyone regardless of their race, gender or beliefs. The word volunteer was not in my vocabulary until I moved to Canada, to which I am so grateful to have learned.

Canada is a very generous country when it comes to immigrants. In 2014 Canada welcomed 265,000 new permanent residents. Canada's immigration system is very secure and prevents any terrorist from entering our country and at the same time has one of the number of immigrants every year. Canada also has a great point system because the majority of immigrants Canada takes in are skilled workers and this helps Canada's economy a lot.Canada relies on immigrants a lot because there are many elderly and not enough young people who are working to pay for the care of the elderly and Canada's fertility rate is decreasing and we can't just tell people to have more baby's since the cost of raising a child is increasingly getting higher with the 21 century, so to get more people to pay the taxes we turn to immigration and Canada needs many immigrants to balance things out.

Since 1867, Canada has had laws and regulations governing the admission of immigrants. Immigration legislation has evolved and changed over and over, which shaped by the shifting social, political and economic climate, as well as dominant beliefs about race, desirability and integration. In this essay I will discuss about how effective of both policy “head tax” and Japanese Interment”. Though the “Head tax” the Canadian government make the money and the Canadian government have no intention to keep the Chinese worker from immigration in which result in the discrimination problem. Second I will talk about Japanese internment, how the Canadian government forced relocation subjected Japanese Canadians to government enforced curfews and interrogations. Moreover, their jobs and property were removed and they were sent to internment camps. The “Japanese Interment” and “Head tax “were very effective. it totally change their lives which make them harder to live and not getting the respect.The Canadian government does not allow both Chinese Canadian or Japanese to work for high wage jobs and living without the family. It seems like all the actions are set to protect the country Canada but it some how against the human right the discrimination problem again not only the Chinese but also Japanese.

Once entering Canada, each claimant has to be interviewed by a representative of the Canadian Citizenship and Immigration department. The applicant fulfills a form with the overview of the issues relating to identity, travel documents, education, employment history, date of birth, family members, marital status, criminal record, route to Canada, previous refugee claims etc.

I am writing this letter on the subject of considering to reopen my Citizenship application file. The reason of this is because I have never received my second invitation to attend an Oath of Citizenship Ceremony to become a Canadian Citizen. I am very sad to inform, and I do apologize that I couldn’t be present at the Ceremony after your invitation. As of my knowledge the letter was returned to the office, therefore it was never delivered to me. Evidently it's nobody's fault, but a miscommunication or some sort of mistake at Canada Post that led us to this. I ask you to please look over my file and reconsider to reopen my application, since I am eagerly anticipating becoming a Canadian Citizen. I have attached a copy of my last letter

Application for citizenship is different in every country and the United States and Canada demonstrate this fact. Although they both have similar basic structures, the U.S. system has more exceptions and a generally longer process. Both countries require Permanent Resident(PR) status and one must be 18 years of age or older to apply. They also both allow parents and guardians to apply for citizenship for their children and make exceptions to the general rules in those cases. While both require an extended physical presence in the country before they sign their application, Canadian law allows applicants to count days as a temporary resident or protected person towards that requirement whereas the United States does not; further, they differ in the details, as in the U.S., generally (there are exceptions), one must have not been out of the country for 30 months or more, must have not
