Effects Of Canada 's Temporary Foreign Workers Policy

Throughout the last three decades, increasing numbers of Asians have migrated to Canada from all over the Asian continent. Currently, 44% of the Vancouver area population is of Asian descent (Statistics Canada, 2001). Immigrants commonly occupy skilled job positions that the host nation is unable to fill with its own citizens, and thus they offer many advantages to their receiving country. In a nation with a declining birthrate, such as Canada, their contribution can play a major role on multiple levels. The immigrants themselves often enjoy a greater earning potential than they did in their native country, which can be advantageous for those who wish to send money back home to support their families.

“An immigrant who can bring with him work for twelve people is to be welcomed with open arms even in a industrial colossus like the United States - welcomed anywhere it would seem but in Canada...Not only have the refugees brought work, but they have brought new customers”, (Document, 9).

As we all know, Canada is an immigrant country. This beautify country attract more and more people who are longing for good future. In 2011, the population of foreign-born in Canada is about 6.7 million. No matter where we are from and what background we have, from the moment we land in Canada as immigrants, there are some problems we need to face to. The commonest three problems are learning a new language, adjusting to a new life-style, and finding a suitable job.

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

In this person’s article, he/she discusses some of the hardships which many immigrants, may face in Canada. This person talks about how they at first had utopic dreams about Canada: that Canada did not have any “human weaknesses” and that they would find a job and be happy, free from racial discrimination. However, in the viewpoint of the author, this is far from the reality. The author warns about the difficulties of finding a job in Canada: difficulty in communication between the immigrant and the job supplier, lack of trust with the immigrants history in their home country, the fact that many of the jobs are not advertised in places where people can access them, and racism in choosing which person should get the job. Because of this sources personal experience, he/she warns others not to come to Canada. This is the reason that this source was created is to warn other people from facing the same dangers the author did in Canada. This author ends his/her article by saying that “work” is not something you can depend on to find in Canada. The main economic issue regarding immigration that this source addresses is that it is often very hard for newly landed immigrants to get jobs for many reasons. This is a very important problem as the main reason that the immigrants are let into Canada in the first place is to find a job and help Canada's economy.

Immigration has grown to become a big aspect in today’s society in Canada. Most cities have welcomed immigration, although mainly portrayed in bigger cities. Immigration in Canada has come with its share of pros as well as its share of cons. The pros with the immigration in Canada starts off with the racial blending of persons in the community, giving future generations a more positive outlook towards equality for all races because they grow up in a world that, for them, hasn’t seen racial and cultural inequality. In my opinion, in a world where children aren’t aware of the cultural and racial inequalities that had been put forth in the generations before them is an enormous strength to immigration for the fact that every person has a right to life and liberty and to have those ideas implanted in the generations to come is detrimental to a working society. Cons found in immigration in Canada fall in employment. The more people immigrate to Canada, the more jobs are being filled leaving others without any. The Immigration Refugee Board is able to offer a wide

The immigrant act was established in the parlimement of Canada in 1976, the main focus was not to discriminate who should not be allowed into Canada act, however it gave power to individual provinces, so they set out their own immigration rules and regulations called “forbidden classes” to continue forbidden classes refers to people who may be seen as a burden to the general society, also only independent immigrants were asked to take part in the points system. The levels of government involved were provincial and federal the responsibility’s are divided between the two levels of governments, the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over deciding how many immigrants are accepted into Canada and the provincial governments job is is

Migrant agricultural work in Canada has been practised in Canada for over forty years, to help support and benefit Canadian farmers (Brem, M., 2006). Unfortunately, allowing the migrant agricultural workers in Canada permanent citizenship is a sensitive and controversial outstanding issue. Canadians who oppose the option for migrant agricultural workers to be granted paths to citizenship complain that these workers are not Canadian by birth, that the migrant workers intentions are to just take pre-existing Canadians money, the migrant agricultural workers are looking for a “free pass” into Canada or they presume that migrant workers put a burden on services paid for by taxes. Proponents for allowing migrant agricultural workers paths to Canadian

The Canadian government portrays the country as a land of new beginnings, where people go to start a better life for themselves and their families. With much to offer to newcomers, including the promises of safety, security and healthcare, the vast selection of jobs and education, and an overall high quality of living, many immigrants have chosen and will continue to choose Canada as their new home country. Canadian officials take pride in accepting and embracing multiculturalism - as Canada is often referred to as a country of cultural mosaic in contrast to the idea of the American ‘melting pot’. This image of Canada overlooks the ill-advised past actions that have taken place, much the same way as it disregards the subtle discrimination that

Insecurity and inequality is an everlasting issue in the labour market of Canada. It is known that insecurity is attributed to lack of dependable work as well as income, and to the presence of difficult and dangerous conditions of work. While, inequality refers to the different outcomes, statuses, and experiences among different groupings of people in the society of Canada. (Athabasca University, 2013). In 2006, the proportion of immigrants in Canada reached its highest level in 75 years, with 19.4 percent of the population having been born outside the country (Statistics Canada 2007a).

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 1962, many new regulations were created that removed most limits on who can and cannot come to Canada. Though Canada’s government preferred British and European immigrants because they could adapt easier, in 1967, Canada’s legislation became “colour-blind”- and did’t use the colour, ethnicity, or cultural background as factors to determine the immigrant’s status on becoming Canadian or not. Instead they used a point-system that was based on one’s education and employment prospects. For that reason, only certain amount of training for specific skills and tasks would have to take place for them. On the other hand, refugees were constantly coming to Canada- such as the 11,000 refugees that came in 1968 after the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia.

To further add to the strengths of Canadian immigration policy, Canadian views on immigration are supported by a qualitative support, rather than misconceived narrative of immigrants. To elaborate, the media has created a narrative where certain races of immigrants are more prone to committing crimes through the over-reporting of immigrant crimes and incidents (Rossiter & Rossiter, 2009, p.2). This then creates a false impression of them that is reflected in the immigration policy, which then further fuels the discrimination. Statistically speaking, this impression is false as immigrants do not commit crimes at a greater rate than native population (Rossiter & Rossiter, 2009, p.5). In fact, according to empirical research, immigrants who have

This article provides detailed information that give statistics based on distinguishing immigrant classes: “Tables 2 (for males) and 3 (for females) present descriptive statistics by broad immigrant class across the three cycles of the survey. … For both genders, it is clear that skilled worker principal applicants have higher educational attainment, and it is also apparent that males have higher averages than females”. This article is distinct from the other two articles by the fact that many more statistics are offered. These extra statistics offer more insight into the descriptions of the economical immigrant policies. Moreover, the article offers an insight into a range of policy proposals in determining how immigrants can immigrate into Canada. The articles introduction mentions important policies that the Canadian government put into place: Recent examples include the Ontario Expert Roundtable on Immigration (2012) and the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada. The paper presents a basic description of differences in labour market outcomes, including both earnings and employments. This is an important statement as it informs the reader about the various types of concepts, along with their sources, that have

Unlike innumerable other countries, almost anyone can strive to migrate to Canada: from a student, temporary worker, refugee, to skill worker, entrepreneur, and a relative of a permanent resident. This is significant because the majority of other countries only give authorization to a determined class of individuals the option of immigrating to their country, but as explained above, Canada gives entry permission to almost all groups of people, unless they are classified as one of the three, terrorist, no means of financial support, or in possession of a disease that could endanger public health. Temporary Workers are known as low skilled workers who are issued visas for a certain period of time (Ahmad). Even they had the eligibility to become
