Immigrants In Canada

The current criteria for migration in Canada was established during 1960s called the ‘point system’. The system requires assigning points to interested migrants for their education level, labor experience in specific occupations where the country faces shortages, and the ability to speak national language, to name some important features. The potential migrants- if meet the criteria- are allowed for admission to Canada (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

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

The Immigration System in Canada has system has impacted over millions of people positively but, mostly negatively therefore, I am against the idea that the Canadian Immigration System is fair. The Points System is one of the most common ways of getting into Canada, however, it is the one of the hardest based on the skills you have and, all the components in the system are interchanged, making it really hard for someone to even get a chance to get in. For example, in the “Who Gets In?” sheet, most of the people like So Jung Li are under qualification for their submission due to these major factors all depending upon each other. The age of the individual can affect if they have graduated high school, furthermore, all this piles on top of and impacts education, which determines if

Canada is a very generous country when it comes to immigrants. In 2014 Canada welcomed 265,000 new permanent residents. Canada's immigration system is very secure and prevents any terrorist from entering our country and at the same time has one of the number of immigrants every year. Canada also has a great point system because the majority of immigrants Canada takes in are skilled workers and this helps Canada's economy a lot.Canada relies on immigrants a lot because there are many elderly and not enough young people who are working to pay for the care of the elderly and Canada's fertility rate is decreasing and we can't just tell people to have more baby's since the cost of raising a child is increasingly getting higher with the 21 century, so to get more people to pay the taxes we turn to immigration and Canada needs many immigrants to balance things out.

The Tamil community is a relatively new group. Some Tamils settled in Canada as early as the 1960s, coming as independent immigrants. “The vast majority, however, arrived in Canada after 1983 in the aftermath of the 1983 Colombo riots in Sri Lanka.” In 1983, the Canadian government took Tamils into Canada under humanitarian and compassionate consideration. At the same time, a visa requirement was imposed on Sri Lankans, making it very difficult to get here legally. In 1986, Minister 's permits were granted to some refugees allowing them to remain in Canada. Today Tamils continue to make up one of the largest group of refugees seeking asylum in Canada. Ten percent of the persons seeking asylum in Canada in 1999 originated from Sri Lanka.

People are coming to Canada continuously and the immigration forces have impact on the Canadian society.

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.
