Immigrants And Refugee

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.

We all come from different places and ethnicities, and because of having a dream, people fled away from their home to seek for something to make their life better. Going to a country like United States, is not only a dream but also, an opportunity because many people think that America is the best place to settle in, where work, and education are an easy access. Though this statement is partly true, it is not that easy. Everyone envied because America is a great nation because it's a country of opportunity, but a part of it also is a mixture of feelings that are hard to explain especially if you are immigrant. Every day in your life, you are fighting for something in order to fit in and survive. However, in the process of fitting in or blending to a certain place, people, and culture, it requires a lot of personal choices and a lot of effort as an immigrant. It does not only affect you as a human, but also it draws a lot of attention, conflicts and tension between the government and community. Most immigrants have a harder time to adjust or assimilate even though they speak fluent English and eat American foods. Whenever you see a person of white complexion, people assumed that blue eyes and blonde hair are the characteristics of an American, though these are how we perceived American long time ago, this are still the standards of a few now and doesn’t make a big change at all. The judgement of how a person look physically and how they

There are approximately 43 million immigrants in the United States and about 11 million are illegal. Compared to the total American population, only seven percent of the nation’s population are non-citizens. Approximately 22 percent of inmates in federal prison are non-citizens. (Perez)

foreign education. Often, when immigrants come to Canada, their degrees and qualifications are not recognized here in Canada because they were earned in other countries and also the language barriers does pose an obstacle to employment for immigrant and visible minority women. Around 16 per cent of immigrants, particularly refugees, come to Canada without knowledge of either official languages French and English (Saraswati, 2000).

For various reasons, it may become necessary to leave one's home country. Many people are attracted to Canada. Some people do not leave their countries because of choice, but because of unjust persecution. Such persons are referred to as refugees. There exists an administrative body that addresses the needs and rights of refugees seeking relocation and settlement in Canada; this administrative body is called the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. Refugees very often are in desperate situations that called for cultural sensitivity and processing through legal avenues. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada handles these duties. This paper will briefly examine this board, its decision-making process, and evaluate the efficacy of the board.

I have chosen the topic about the refugee and asylum seekers health issues as refugee health considering one of the important health problems in Australian. The review will focus some issues on refugee health base on the relevant and substantial literature. Literature review tried explore about

Are immigrants a burden to the United States? Or do they benefit society? Many people might say that immigrants don’t help the country and that they should be deported back to their respective countries. Keeping the status of undocumented immigrants as aliens costs the government a lot of money and the broken solution of deporting immigrants costs even more. Immigrants stimulate the growth of the economy and immigrants give the country so much and no one gives them credit for it. There is an ever growing number of people that support immigration reform. Immigrants should be allowed to live in the United States because it benefits the country, the economy, and the general population.

In “Immigrants” by Pat Mora, they are struggling to achieve acceptance and help their family have a better future. The parents are trying so hard to associate their children with “American traditions” and still are left wondering if they will be accepted in America. In my opinion nothing is worth loosing your actual culture or values. They are literally willing to do whatever it takes to transform heir children into American traditions. “Feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie” (Line 2 Mora). Both Hot dogs and Apple pie are both American food and American culture. Wait there is more they are even considering changing the names of their children. Buying them blonde dolls and football cleats both have typical American

We learned some of the temporary and permanent ways people come to Canada such as: studying in Canada for two years as well as having one year of work experience, being sponsored by Family or work, and having a visa (Student and visitor). As well as that all sounds sadly things are not always so easy for an immigrant or refugee. Normally they work in jobs where the labour is intense and the pay minimal, get disrespected by their community and have a lack of resources available to them due to the fact that they might not be able to speak English fluently if at all. Some who were doctors in their home country would find it near impossible to get the same profession again in Canada. Even with the hardships, they continue on to make a better life for

To be able afford a home in the United States, some type of immigration status is needed because taxes and rent needs to be paid. Also, obtaining a job with a reasonable income needs to be received to be able to pay the rent, otherwise many immigrants remain homeless, live in shelters, and live with a family member or friends.

The resettlement of Syrian refugees in Canada has been a heavily politicised issue since the last federal election. While the media spotlight has moved on, the integration of these refugees into the Canadian economy and society is an ongoing effort. Previous research on refugees resettled in Canada has found that proficiency in one of Canada’s official languages is one of the most important determining factors of a refugee’s ability to obtain employment and achieve higher levels of economic integration (Sherrell et al. 2005: 83). Historically, refugees resettled in Canada have frequently reported significant difficulties accessing appropriate language training services, especially in terms of the under capacity, underfunding, and lack of flexibility

Immigrants and Refugees have many similarities and differences. First about the things they have in common. They both live in a new country when they leave their old one. Also they both work menial jobs when they first arrive. Another similarity between Immigrants and Refugees is they both want a better life.

What is the difference between a Refugee and Immigrants? A refugee is someone who has been forced to run (away from) his or her home country.As such, people who have run away from their own countries because of bad treatment can apply for safety in a country from bad treatment in another country in the United States, a process that could take years.Getting related to people who have left their home country status isn't easy.The people who are applying for somethinghave to prove that if they return to their home country, they'll be hurt because of their race, religion, state of belonging to a certain country, membership in a particular social group or theirpolitical opinion."people who have run away from their own countries because of bad treatment

There are many things that Syrian and Jewish refugees have in common. They have faced many difficulties in life. They were both casualties of war. They were forced out their homes to camps. Jews were sent to concentration camps. Syrians were put in refugee camps.

The quantity of individuals who are into Canada is consistently expanding as seen somewhere around 2001 and 2006, the quantity of remotely conceived individuals expanded by 13.6%, and by, 2006 Canada had developed to have 34 ethnic groups with no less than one hundred thousand individuals each, of which eleven have more than 1,000,000 individuals and various others are spoken to in littler sums. 16.2% of the populace self-distinguishes as a noticeable minority (Statistics Canada, 2011). This massive immigration has ensured that multiculturalism in Canada has never faced any threat of collapse. The Canadians know that the only way different cultures are going to strive in the country is by supporting legal immigration of people from various parts of the world into the country. By allowing the settlement of immigrants, multiculturalism in Canada was being
