Ethnic Mosaic In Canada

Having to move to a new country can cause a cultural shock, with this cultural shock, comes Language barriers. Many immigrants and refugees are faced with language barriers upon entry into a new country Language barriers causes an immense amount of difficulties and make simple day to day interactions seem impossible. More often immigrants and refugees get to Canada with a little to less fluent grasp of English. Employments, transportations, and even receiving assistance in both areas is more daunting without a good grasp of English. Immigrants and refugees worry that their foreign accent and cultural traits will make them seem too different. Immigrants and refuges to Canada bring a vast amount of benefits that will be beneficial to the Canadian economy, society, and the country has a whole, this is overlooked because the English language skills of these immigrants and refugees is often too dwelled on. Refugees and Immigrant parents are usually disadvantaged and disfavored in terms of finding a meaningful employment because of their English proficiency levels. Despite most immigrants and refugees have enough knowledge of the English language, if it is not their first language, they are faced with communication struggles on their arrival to Canada.

Canada has continuously served as a home to immigrants and refugees from decade to decade harbouring people from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The first set of immigrants to settle in the country came from Britain, the United States and from other nationalities mostly including immigrants from Europe who were either desperate to escape from religious or political turmoil or were simply attracted to Canada’s economic promise. Soon after the Canadian confederation in 1867, immigrants from Irish and Chinese backgrounds who occupied most of the country were used as workers and the demand for labourers to

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.

Beginning at the time of the Confederation, Canada has worked towards defining its own identity. Slowly, but surely, Canada has built the foundations for its path to prominence. From a colony of Great Britain, to the country it is today, Canada has achieved much on the long road to a unique Canadian identity. Whether it be through external or internal affairs, Canada’s people have endeavoured to instill the feeling of nationalism deep inside the hearts of both the present and future generations.

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

Canada’s Immigration Policy has evolved since the Second World War to what it is today. As Canada has a large immigration population, it is important to know about and understand Canada’s Immigration Policy. This paper will explore Canada’s Immigration Policy by looking at its historical development and changes from the end of the Second World War to today. It will also evaluate the process of becoming both a Permanent Resident and a full Canadian Citizen. It will conclude by comparing and contrasting two prominent cultural groups in the Greater Toronto area, South Asian Canadians and Chinese Canadians.

In Immigration Au Canada : Un Portrait De La Population Née À L'étranger, Tina Chui, Kelly Tran and Hélène Maheux focus on native countries of immigrants in order to determine the top countries of immigrants. However, they also focus on immigrants’ integration, adaptation, and choices of life. In addition, they briefly examine the Canadian immigration policy. For instance, often the Canadian government prefers immigrants that will directly contribute to the economy. Those who already known French or English are privileged, hence it is not surprising that Europe is in the top 3 location from where the majority of immigrants come. Once in Canada, must of immigrants have to redo their studies as here their diplomas are not recognize. Personally,

Much of Canada’s economic success has been at the hands of immigrants and migrants. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Canadian government advertised free land to European farmers, in an attempt to persuade them to begin working in Canada. These immigrants went on to contribute to the country’s vast agriculture industry, which much of the economy is based on. Still to this day, people around the world look to Canada as the land of opportunity. Many immigrants and refugees choose Canada as their new home because of the job opportunities available to them. However, not everyone interested in working in the country is able to stay there permanently. Despite this, those still interested in working for Canadian businesses and companies may

When people mention Canada, what does pop up into their minds first? A warm welcome. Diversity in nations and religions. A strong economy. Freedom. Canada is often referred to as a land of immigrants because millions of newcomers have settled there, beginning with colonists from France and Britain, and later incorporating migrants from every corner of the globe. In this term paper I would like to discuss the importance of immigration to Canada in the 20th century, specificly from 1976 to 1999. In order to truly outline the changes due immigration I will start with the specific events in the process of inventing Canada which led to the outrageous numbers of immigrants prior and after the Immigration Act in 1976.

Life is hard when you are forced to move to a new country, and follow the rules of a new culture. As a person growing up in Canada I am thankful my parents moved here, but hearing their stories of struggle makes me feel sorry, and lucky that I didn’t have to go through the same. Being a first generation Canadian, I think that Canada does make it hard to adapt, but at the same time, they are very accepting of other cultures. As Canada continues to become a cultural mosaic, and different races, beliefs, and cultures live together as one, some may feel left behind. The stories Why My Mother Can’t Speak English by Garry Engkant, and Growing up Native by Carol Geddes show a mix of hardships and acceptances that people from different cultures go through to adapt to European/Canadian cultures that have been present in the past, and are present now. I feel as a whole, Canada does a good job at preaching multiculturalism and inclusion, and doing things to help immigrants, but there are many cases in which people still feel left behind in the past, and now, because this is a culture in which communicating “our way” makes things easier, unfortunately.

It is fair to say that the goal of the immigration system is to encourage youthful, bilingual, high-skill immigration in order to bolster and enhance the labor force in Canada. Although the program aims to attract migrants that have work experience, higher education and English or French language abilities there are certain barriers that are present in the system such as credential recognition and strong demand for sophisticated language and literacy competency, which impede access to skilled employment and social mobility among some migrants. Most immigrants come to Canada through the Federal Skilled Worker Program or under a Provincial Nominee Program. Nearly 70 per cent of immigrants to Canada are economic immigrants. Parents, grandparents,

Immigration is a major social institution that provides many benefits for both citizens of the country and their migrants. As Picot, Hou and Coulombe (2008) explain; “host countries, such as Canada, look to the skills and initiatives of immigrants to promote economic growth (p. 393). This theorizes that immigration is seen as a positive economic advantage. For example, Canada makes up a lot of their population through immigration, yet according to Ball and Tepperman (2016), this group of people not only are put in a group which automatically categorizes them as subordinate and vulnerable, but also instills a sense of inequality in many of them that can be due to their status as Canadians, their class, their race and many other factors (p.

“Immigration is critical to job creation and long term economic growth for the middle class. In so manys, Canada is what is today thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of those who chose to build their lives here,’’ (Justin Trudeau). Canada is the second largest country in the world, yet we still have massive unfilled land. Canada has beautiful views and rivers which would attract immigrants to build their lives here. We can easily hold more people, In fact it would be great for us, because it would spur economic growth, but the immigrants might not have a job or might have to work a low end job. Having immigrants move to Canada is great, which has its positives and negatives and that Canada climate is also a very important reason which holds back people from entering.

Canada is among the couple of countries in the Western World that is effectively searching for foreigners. Not simply is it less demanding to emigrate to Canada than to different grounds of chance, it is likewise presumably a standout amongst the most appealing nations where to live.

Our world may seem perfect to us but there are many issues going on and one of the biggest issues we have would be immigration. The issues and challenges Syrian immigrants to face. Syrian refugees many times are forced to have to immigrate to other countries because the issues that are happening in their own countries, an example of this would be that 55,000 children and 470,000 people have been killed because of the civil war, which is one of the biggest issues in Syria and many countries. But Canada recently is welcoming a lot of Syrian immigrants to help them have better lives and opportunities, But when syrians move to Canada they have a lot of challenges to face, These challenges are leaving their home countries because of war, the cost of living in Canada after they move, and how much their issues change after immigrating for a year.
