Diversity In Canada

The Canadian business comparison report comprises of the companies details and also the comparison between a Canadian local business and Indian local business. For this report I have chosen Canada’s Dollarama and India’s D-Mart as both company have same target market. Dollarama is Canada’s leading dollar store with 900 locations across Canada. Larry Rossy, a third generation retailer, founded the company in 1992. The first Dollarama store opened in April 1992, in a shopping center "Les promenades du St-Laurent" in Matane, Quebec. The products sold are in single or multiple pieces at selected price point of not more than $3. The company aims to provide customers with a consistent

When immigrants first step into Canadas borders the most obvious challenge they have to face is the barrier that is set immediately due to language differences. Canadas official languages include both English and French these languages arguably are the most difficult languages to learn. In many ways, for immigrants the first step to both economic and societal immigration is learning English. Without learning English and proper English literacy skills there is little chance of getting a well-paying job, making connections with people in Canadian society and overall, without English immigrants are unable to communicate with others around them in society during everyday life. Language and Literacy training also relate to immigrant's employability. In a study showing

Different races, sexual orientations, and genders are all encompassed by a single word, diversity. Diversity is defined as a variety or range of different things. Organizations, employers, and companies are looking to include minorities and multiculturalism into the work place in order to become more diverse. In the past decades the police services have made significant efforts to achieve a status as an employer of choice and increase the recruitment of minorities. Police services in Canada and around the world are starting to respond to the realities of diversity in the societies which they live. By using laws, policies and mandates employers are starting to get an accurate depiction of their community representations. Under and over-policing methods by police against minorities is one of the few issues minorities face due to lack of diversity in the police service.

The 1971 Multiculturalism Act and Its Impact on Canadian Diversity On October 8, 1971, Canada became one of the first countries in the world to announce a federal policy for multiculturalism. In a historic statement to the House of Commons, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau introduced the policy in an attempt to respect the cultural diversity of all individuals and recognize the cultural contributions of the diverse ethnic groups in Canada. This policy set the stage for many governments around the world to enact their own federal policies promoting diversity, while also influencing Section 27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and preceding the 1988 Multiculturalism Act, which built upon the concepts explored in the 1971 policy. With everything taken into consideration, the 1971 multiculturalism policy indisputably affected Canadian society by promoting cultural diversity, fostering an inclusive environment for immigrants, and heightening

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

The Federal government is responsible for insuring equal distribution and accessibility of health care services to citizens though they are not the only party that shape the policies of Canada’s healthcare but also the influence of doctors, health professionals, political parties, and businesses are also used (Canadian Stakeholders, n.d., para 2). The 1984 Canada Health Act outlines the requirements that provincial governments must meet. However; since there is not a descriptive list mentioning insurance services in the Act, the insured services in provinces vary creating a power shift (The Canada Health Act, 2005). Provinces also control the licensing of hospitals as well as doctors,

Diversity a word often brings in the world of business and in the news. In certain cultural group, it is lip service to the public to alleviate those who have felt undermine by leaders of corporation and public official. On the other hand, immigrant has traveled to distant land for many centuries. Minority has seen prejudice based on personal ideas without any fact. In the United States and Canada, Multicultural groups do have opportunities that are available according to the law of the land, but businesses have the right to refuse within the purview of the local laws. Lastly, minority cultures sometimes feel unwelcome by the dominant culture. As a result, they have seen economic deficient and psychological scars from years oppression. The

History Culminating Essay Who is Canada? What do we stand for? That is something we should all ask ourselves. Our identity worldwide defines who we are. Throughout the world, Canada is known as a peaceful ad loving country, but we are also more than that.

For this study, my research question is “does representation on the Canadian House of Commons affect likelihood of political participation of visible minority groups?” The Canadian House of Commons is not a mirror representation of the Canadian population, so underrepresented groups may not feel as if their voice is being heard in the Canadian government.

Malcolm Forbes once said, “Diversity: the art of thinking independently together.” The same diversity that shaped the United States going back to the sixteenth century when immigrants landed in North America. Diversity of people and species, but their real differences were religion, politics, economics, social issues, and the fantastic ways they dealt with those issues.

Bilingualism should be maintained in Canada. Bilingualism is the ability to speak two languages fluently. Canada is a bilingual country with English and French as official languages. The Canadian government has adopted bilingualism and as made official languages English and French their official in 1969(Lepage and Corbeil). According to the Office of the Commissioner 72 percent of Canadian supported Bilingualism, especially people who live in Quebec supported strongly (Cited by Bluja and Bradshaw).

Enrolling in a class formulated around families and their dynamics within Canadian society, initially seemed as though it would be quite monotone. The prior knowledge I held, led myself to believe there was not much more one could learn about such an area; families are diverse and all strive off of one another to survive in their home and surrounding environments. Throughout this short term my thoughts have altered in understanding the complexity and diversity within families. Every individual is part of a family yet, whom one considers “family” can arise from many areas: full sibling, step sibling, adopted, close friend, foster child amongst other areas which many will speak to under their own terms. Every family has faced challenges

Multiculturalism" is the existence of a culturally diversified society where people from different backgrounds and races come and live together. However an insight of this integrated society reveals that everyone seems to have a different opinion on the issue of how this diverse community should operate. One of the countries of North America called "the mosaic" is Canada. It has earned this distinct name because of the mix of races, cultures and ethnicities residing in it. Canada's geographical features and its harsh climate became a disadvantage to its population growth many years ago. Compared to its size, the population of Canada was not sufficient a few decades ago. However, when immigrants wandered about searching for a better

Immigration and racial diversity have always been an important notion of the Canadian identity. Historically, matters pertaining to the aforementioned topics have been dealt solely at the Federal level. The article aims primarily to evaluate three notions that may affect how immigration and racial minorities are viewed by the native-born white Canadian population at a provincial level. Borrowed from the Canadian Election Studies, data collected over a twenty-year period,1988-2008, is utilized to determine if the economy, demographic, and culture impacts the native-white Canadian attitude towards said non-native groups in the respective provinces. (Bilodeau,Turgeon,Karakoc, 581)

There is a growing of ethnic groups from non-European societies, who can meet Canadian economic development in term of their level of education, occupational skills and languages. Those ethnic groups are called immigrants because they are neither indigenous nor colonist settlers but are accepted through Canada’s immigration policy (Banting 2010). Even though diverse cultures and differences of minorities were recognized and celebrated within the bilingual framework during the multiculturalism policy of the 1970s, their full equal participations are still excluded from the mainstream society (Leung 2012).
