What Is Canada IRPA: A Future Social Worker Perspective

Canada is a preferred country for immigrants from developing and poor nations. Since founding of the country, Canada has always allowed rather encouraged migration with the dual objective of expanding country’s population and to ensure an expanding and vibrant economy. Most of the Canadian governments in the past have pursued polices to accomplish these objectives (Kelley & Trebilcock 36-39)

Canada is well known for its size. It has the same size as China, yet it has about thirty times as less people. Inviting the refugees to Canada helps increase the country’s population and fill the empty space in the northern territories and the maritime provinces. Furthermore, the elderly population has been increasing dramatically in Canada, which means more retirements have been occurring. Thus, refugees will also help to fill empty workplaces, as Daniel Tencer states “Atlantic Canada has been facing low population growth and an aging workforce for years, and some business leaders there are pushing to make sure the region

The documentary Who Get’s In? examines the immigration policies and priorities of the Canadian government, said to represent the economic needs and values of the Canadian people. The film documents the experiences of migrants from asian and african countries and the barriers particular groups of migrants face.

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

They could think that keeping the refugees outside Canada decreases the chances of terrorist acts against Canada. The facts are however that refugees rarely ever commit terrorist crimes. For example, since 2001 only 10 refugees have been arrested for terrorist crimes, compared to the total 320 American citizens arrested for similar charges. So why is today's society afraid of refugees. Is it because they have the same skin color as the portrayed picture of a terrorist, do they speak the same language or have the same beliefs. Modern media has attempted to paint an image in the mind of the viewer of what the average terrorist looks like and for the most part they’ve succeeded because now most people fear refugees just because they match the

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 this case, this was evident in their position on admitting a larger number of refugees over a shorter timeline. While the Conservatives and the NDP also wanted Canada to play a humanitarian role on the world stage, they have a smaller view of this role than the Liberals. By positioning themselves close to the Conservatives on this issue, the NDP caused progressive electors who wanted Canada to play a larger humanitarian role on the world stage to vote for the Liberals. Voters seeking to admit a large number of Syrian refugees had only one choice, while those seeking to admit a smaller number had two

Canada has always been recognized as an accepting and “go-to” country in crisis. However, in recent years, there have been changes. Refugee legislation has become extremely strict, qualifications for refugees have become unfair, and limitations regarding what Canada offers refugees have been set.

Canada is a country that is known as a "mosaic" of people and cultures, meaning; it opens it arms to immigrant families and gives them the freedom to express their own cultural values, ideas, beliefs and customs. It is this system that welcomes thousands and thousands of immigrants a year with open arms and the idea of a better life. This idea however, is sometimes not always as easy as it is thought to be. Though Canada is an amazing country for immigrants to start a new life and get better education, health care, and job opportunities, immigrant families are met with many challenges before they are able to become accustom to their new life. It is important to understand the true difficulty of the "Immigrant Experience" and the impact it has on families including adults as well as children. If it is easier to understand the difficulties immigrant families go through in search of a better life in Canada there can be more resources made to help them. It is important to take into consideration each individual difficulty that is faced and properly research each factor in order to have a better understanding on how to make the complete economic and societal integration of immigrants happen faster. There is a number of categories that relate to the integration of immigrants into society and a number of steps they must take to be a part of Canadian society. In order to understand these steps they have to be thoroughly researched.

It is clear that Trudeau is focused on globalization and in a recent meeting with US President Donald Trump stated that only minor changes should be made to the North American Free Trade Act (Jackson and Slack). In addition to NAFTA, Trudeau has been a key member in the Trans Pacific Partnership, which allows for easier trade across borders. Both international agreements support the idea of free trade across borders and overall globalization. Trudeau also promised to spend $100,000,000 on resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees in 2015 (Plucinska), and since has only built on his goal, allowing over 40,000 refugees into Canada. Trudeau’s international policies of borderless societies and his will to fulfill the needs of the world’s most desperate parallel Karl Marx’s Communist ideologies. Justin Trudeau actions, both nationally and internationally, show his commitment to the Proletariat class, and his beliefs in globalism, tax breaks for the middle class, and secularism prove that he favors Communist

In the topic of immigration, Canada is a country with immigration history that dates back centuries ago. The large number of immigrants over 400 years has been a huge factor in Canada's population growth. Canada is a country with great cultural diversity. Canada’s land mass is 998460 km² and within those kilometers there are 15 different Ecozones, and 7 landform regions. Canada's land mass is 9981670 km and within those kilometers there are 15 Ecozones spread across it.

Canadians have a very peaceful reputation internationally, yet not many countries know much about the Canada. Save for the most prominent stereotypes of Canada, such as maple syrup, beavers or the cold, Canada’s reputation shows its citizens to be very polite, accepting and down-to-earth people. Canada as a country is seen as a place of opportunity, whether it be for jobs, education or a new start. It is seen as very progressive in its human rights laws and reputable in general. One of Canada’s biggest identifiers internationally is its multiculturalism. Approximately 250,000 people immigrate to Canada each year from all around the globe, making it a mosaic of different cultures, religions and races. Some people and countries

As a land of opportunities, Canada is one of the most popular destinations for immigrants and international students from all over the world. It is an indisputable reality that some kind of racial discrimination is a part of Canada’s diverse population because of the white domination in the field of social work. Racism as a basic construction of oppression is meant to consider people dissimilar by their external appearance, culture, hair structure, language and facial characteristics (Yee, 2005). Racial discrimination in the field of social work by the dominants is an undeniable factor in Canada when having a close look

Being directly affected by immigration laws and policies, I am able to relate to the effects that certain political decisions have on certain ethnic groups. Thus, I cultivated a passion for international relations, specifically foreign affairs that affect immigrants and refugees. The importance of assessing the current immigration laws, regulations, and policies that directly affect these families is crucial to understand the current operating system. As the product of immigrants, I have developed an interest in the immigration policies and current issues that influence the lives of individuals with diverse backgrounds. The knowledge I have gained from being exposed to two backgrounds-American and Mexican culture-has enabled me to recognize the advantages and obstacles I have faced in order to succeed as a minority in the United States.

The systemic neo-liberal orientation adopted by Canada towards immigration underlies methodical discrimination of immigrant families. With preference to the capitalists, immigration evolved as a mechanism of luring educate families from another country to work on low-paying jobs and economically exhaust them by making it arduous to escape from it. This systemic discrimination is manifested further through the following: 1) the failure of the government to recognize the professional foreign credentials; 2) the limited investment to essential social services for immigrant families; and 3) the residual social welfare approach to child protection. These prejudices can overwhelm the family that potentially lead to child maltreatment and consequential
