“Multiculturalism exists when people accept and encourage many cultures to thrive in a society. Multiculturalism can lead to many great outcomes, including racial and ethnic harmony, which simply means that people from different backgrounds get along well together. Living with and accepting different cultures helps us understand each other and discourage hatred and violence.” () Furthermore, various ethnic groups introduce their individual beliefs, traditions, as well as, religions to the Canadian society. Generally speaking, be part of an expanding multicultural society has impacted Canada economically, demographically and socially. Thus, the presence of the variety of different cultures, languages and heritages, results in the need for the county to adapt and change, based on the new reality of Canada.

Diversity has played an important role in Canada’s formative history. Today, Canada boasts the highest percentage of foreign-born citizens than any other G8 country. In Canada’s multicultural society it is important that any acts of discrimination are avoided since it can have grave consequences. Canadians are protected against discrimination by the Human Rights Act, which was formed in 1977 by the Parliament of Canada. The act ensures equal opportunity to individuals who may be victims of discriminatory actions based on a set of prohibited grounds such as sex, disability, or religion. This paper will discuss the legal issues in human resources in relation to the Human Rights Act and will focus in particular on the discrimination section in

For over two centuries, the United States has a been a religious haven for anyone and everyone, regardless of religious belief. America has only been able to remain a powerhouse for this vast period of time because of their ability to accept and thrive upon diversity. Opportunities given in the United States allow and promote diversity, which brings forth understanding, perspective, and wisdom. Unfortunately, immigrants from certain religious backgrounds are not receiving the same opportunities that our forefathers believed each and every one of us are entitled to. Based upon the free exercise clause and the establishment clause of the first amendment, as well as section one of the fourteenth amendment, it would be unconstitutional to require immigrants to take a religion test.

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

Canada is routinely defined as the exemplar multicultural society with the most diverse cities in the world such as Vancouver, Toronto and Quebec. The concepts of integrity and complexity are being shaped in Canadian society because of its co-existence of different cultures. Indeed, multiculturalism has been a keystone of Canadian policy for over 40 years with the aim of pursuing Canadian unity (Flegel 2002). Accordingly, Canada is generally estimated a country where people are all equal and where they can share fundamental values based upon freedom. Diversity is sustained and promoted by governmental policy, however, there are still racist interactions, which are destructive to minorities integration, especially recent ethnic groups’ arrival (Banting & Kymlicka 2010). This paper will examine challenges that multiculturalism has brought society and residents of Canada.

The dynamics of power relations between the minority and majority in this case are the refugees and Canadian citizens. The white Canadian citizens are put on top of the newcomers which places them at the bottom. This has been an ongoing issue considering they should be treated just like anyone else does in our society. These refugees have been through horrific trauma to come into Canada, but are looked down upon from people who are not educated enough to understand. These individuals are preventing the refugees to have a voice in our culture due to the amount of discrimination and prejudice evolving around them. People assume that they must be terrorists and are also taking advantage of the system but most of the time the people who say that are on welfare

Diverse cultures has made Canada the best country for foreign-immigrants. Canada made a huge impact to the immigrants because the government accepted each of them to live in the country; which gave them the opportunity to re-build their lives and status again. Also, Canada has lots of opportunities in terms of jobs and education. Everyone is welcome in Canada. People has diverse cultures, ethnicity, and beliefs, but they are treated equally in Canada. They also do not discriminate each other in terms of their colour, status, class, age, gender, work, and education level. Foreign-immigrants have come all over the world to come to Canada; to have a better life and see what Canada can do for them in coming years.

Canada’s multicultural dynamic presents the country with a unique perspective unlike no other. The nation is made up of citizens with different heritages, traditions and practices that have positively integrated into Canadian society ever since the government began to acknowledge diversity within the country. This paper will argue that multiculturalism represents a qualitatively better approach to ethnic diversity than did the Canadian immigration and cultural policies that preceded it. Restricted immigration and aboriginal assimilation negatively affect the larger picture of Canadian culture in comparison to public policy supporting multiculturalism.

Canada is well known as multiculturalism country and it was built by many different types of immigrant.

Multiculturalism should be promoted within its Quebec because that is what makes and will keep on making Quebec a unique cultural province. It blends all the cultures together and makes it one because everyone finds normal that people are different.

Throwback to 4 years ago when I moved to Canada, I got overwhelmed with this new environment. I’ve only been to elementary school in Canada for one year. New school. New classmates. New language. I thought it was definitely the toughest year i’ve ever had. A year later I became a high-schooler. And yet my school life was getting worse.
