Canadian Immigration

The current criteria for migration in Canada was established during 1960s called the ‘point system’. The system requires assigning points to interested migrants for their education level, labor experience in specific occupations where the country faces shortages, and the ability to speak national language, to name some important features. The potential migrants- if meet the criteria- are allowed for admission to Canada (Kelley & Trebilcock 36-39). In this way, Canadian government ensures that migrant workers have necessary language skills and work experience so they can serve in the labor market without presenting

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

The Federal Government of Canada should provide not only access to immigration but also make sure to provide new immigrants with opportunities. Firstly, there are still employment issues for Immigrants. According to an interview conducted by CBC, interviewing new immigrants and refugees, Sandy chugh, an immigrant said, "I don't see a lot of growth," when describing his current job. Despite having years of experience in marketing and a bachelor's degree from Ireland, the 32-year-old is working in a warehouse for the retailer Best Buy (Dunn, 2016). This relates to the issue as due to refugees and immigrants not having an absolute experience, yet being highly qualified for jobs, are not given equal opportunities than the natives who were born and educated in the country. Furthermore, to resolve this issue, the Canadian government must

In 2012, I started thinking about Canada. I read up on the process to immigrate to canada and found it was a lenghty process that takes years to finalise. The time it would take was not even the issue for me, but the fact that they had selected Noc Codes (The National Occupational Classification) and you have to get your documents on time and send them out before your occupation receieves the maximum number of applications allocated.

Moreover, due to non-recognition of foreign credentials, new immigrants face big barrier to obtain work in their field in Canada (Garcia, et al., p. 196). Although foreign credentials are evaluated by recognizing stakeholders like OES, U of T etc. but the employers do not consider these evaluations. They rely only upon degrees obtained in Canada. In addition to that, different stakeholders have different attitudes to credential and certification (Garcia, et al., p. 196) and are concerned with recognizing foreign credentials. Although the government encourages interprovincial labour mobility, but immigrants feel discouraged to relocate due to the varying credential recognition process, which in turn decreases their employability.

The history of Canadian immigration highlights that the immigration policies has been selective about the immigrants coming to Canada. The basis of the choice of immigrants and corresponding policies and laws were motivated and shaped by the political, social and economic position of Canada throughout the decades. Through the historical records the Canadian immigration policies had been heavily influenced by ethnicity, race and religion factors.

Canada has really strict policies and laws on who can immigrate to the country, and as a blooming economical place, people who have excellent experience will have a promised opportunity for jobs. In 2015 a new law came out economic immigrants helping them to come to Canada as fast as possible without any trouble. “Express Entry” is a major step forward in the transformation of Canada’s immigration system into one that is fast, flexible and focused on meeting Canada’s economic and labor needs. This will allow for greater flexibility and better responsiveness to deal with regional labor shortages, and help fill open jobs for which there are no available Canadian workers. Formerly referred to as “Expression of Interest” will be open to skilled

Over the last couple of years, there have been extensive changes in Canada’s immigration policies. The biggest change has been the increased admission of temporary foreign workers (TFWs). Unlike immigrants, temporary foreign workers come to Canada on restrictive visas and do not have the rights of permanent residents (CIC, 2010). Their admission to the country and employment are reliant on not taking opportunities and jobs away from Canadians. Statistics on temporary foreign workers vary widely, depending on how they are accumulated. According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, in 2000 there were 177,781 temporary foreign workers in the country. By 2010, the number was 432,682, a 140 per cent increase.

The main purpose of this problem statement is to understand the reasons behind immigrants with high education credentials working on just entry level jobs (underemployment) or are not able to find a job to earn for their livelihood (unemployment). There are many reasons behind this underemployment and unemployment and with the help of this study we will try to help new immigrants to Canada by letting them know about various challenges they might have to face during the initial phase of their life in Canada. Apart from this, our study will also help international students to find jobs matching their skills and even part time jobs during their studies, as our main focus is international students at red river college,

From Sea to Sea to Sea. This is the Canadian belief. All are welcome: from sea, to sea, to sea. Canada, to this day, is one of the most open countries towards immigration in the world (Troper). With a whopping 20.6% of its population identified as immigrants (Immigration…), Canada is known for its generosity towards Immigrants and refugees all around the world.

This article describes that role the Canadian immigration had toward skilled immigrants by not accepting their credentials, in which the article’s hypothesis is that it might be related to the fact of Canadian openness towards immigrant in general. The method of investigation is looking at previous case studies. The conclusion of the article states that Canada must improve its immigration polices as more immigrants are coming, and that Canada should become more open-minded toward the skilled immigrant, which is also the main argument. This article restates my research question.
