Immigrants In Canada

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.

However, during the World War II era and the years that followed, these policies were discouraged in order to encourage more skilled and professional immigrants to participate in the Canadian labour market. However, in 1967, a new policy called the Points System which was developed to meet the economic and labour needs of Canada was formed. With the existence of this policy, more non white immigrants were able to migrate to Canada. Presently, the current Immigration Act consists of both economic, family and refugee class in which immigrants enter into the country.

Grady examines the issue of immigrants in Canada, and takes a strong stance that the amount of immigrants taken in should be drastically reduced. Instead of constantly taking in the same amount of immigrants, this source believes that immigrants should only be taken at peak times in Canada’s economy when Canada actually needs them. In times such as a recession, such as now, the amount of immigrants taken in should be near zero. This will help to reduce the “enclaves characterised by high poverty rates”, as Grady believes that immigrants are the cause of this. However, this ideology would go against the charter of rights and freedoms. In order to resolve this issue, the source believes that the notwithstanding clause should be implemented. In addition, the selection criteria for allowing immigrants should also be made harder, so that only the immigrants who have a very high chance of getting the jobs they need to support themselves should be allowed inside. Moreover, the people who are getting into Canada for free should be drastically reduced. This includes the family class, which includes members of the family of Canadians, and the refugee class, which includes people fleeing from the dangerous condition of their home country. This will result in less people who are feeding off of Canada's

The immigrant act was established in the parlimement of Canada in 1976, the main focus was not to discriminate who should not be allowed into Canada act, however it gave power to individual provinces, so they set out their own immigration rules and regulations called “forbidden classes” to continue forbidden classes refers to people who may be seen as a burden to the general society, also only independent immigrants were asked to take part in the points system. The levels of government involved were provincial and federal the responsibility’s are divided between the two levels of governments, the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over deciding how many immigrants are accepted into Canada and the provincial governments job is is

The period of 1914 to 1939, Canada’s immigration policy got very unfair. Changes were made to the Immigration Act in 1914 that allowed the rejection of anyone from any race that was deemed

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.

Immigration has been a significant part of Canada. Immigrants come here to search for work opportunities, a new life, and to prepare to start or support a family. However, there are many challenges that come along with a new life, significantly, social exclusion.

It is assumed that provinces suffering from weaker economies, those with a large intake of immigrants and racial minorities, and French-speaking provinces tend to hold more of said negative views (582-584). Yet, the findings in the article suggest that the majority of provinces are content in keeping with the status quo in terms of immigrants in their province. (2, 585) It’s worth mentioning, that the Canadian provinces, unlike European countries, who have displayed increasingly negative views towards immigration and racial minorities over the last two decades, show no evidence of a backlash. However, there is no explicit explanation for this phenomenon.(1,

Immigration after 1950s prompted people from all over the world to move to Canada, and change it into the multicultural country it is today. In the 1950s, most immigrants arrived from the British Isles, as Canada favoured English and French immigrants because they spoke the same languages. In 1962, Canada changed its immigration regulations so that all races and nationalities were included. As a result, most immigration was now from Asia and Caribbean. However, the changed regulations did not just allow anyone to enter Canada. A new point system was introduced in 1967, to determine the desirability of the individuals applying (Troper). Under this system, there was an increase in immigrants from India, Pakistan, Hong Kong and West Indies. By the 1970s, Canada was attracting a lot of immigrants because of its open immigration policy, and because USA’s immigration was difficult. To add to that, Canada also opened its doors to refugees, and in the 1970s, refugees made up about 10 percent of the yearly wave of immigration to Canada (Winnick 19). In 1977, a new version of the citizenship Act was developed, getting rid of differences among people. The citizens were encouraged to retain their culture, and since 1972 there has been a minister of multiculturalism to protect traditions of cultures. In addition, the immigration Act of 1978 opened Canada’s doors and Canada

Figure 3a to 3e provide some basic ideas of how young immigrates’ employment varies from 1991 to 2011 in Ottawa, comparing with that of the native-born Canadians. The horizontal red line represents the average employment rate of young non-immigrants each year while the blue line represents the employment rates of immigrants with different years since migration.

The Canadian immigration is the set of rules, regulations, directives, guidelines, policies and the Act of Parliament that regulates the entry of each individual into Canada. It could be for the purpose of settling there. This has been a feature of the ancient times, when the ancestors of Canada 's native peoples migrated from Asia by land via Beringia or by sea via the Japanese current, as it is of the present day, when immigrants from around the world come to this country in thousands.

The composition of Canada’s population today is very different than it was many decades ago. In years prior to World War II Canada’s ethnic homegenetity was made up of mostly the British and French, although Canada was previously inhabited by Natives. However, people began a migration process that saw increased movement of people from one place to another through the world. Canada, being one of the classical migration countries began to pull immigrants at one period, then a push occurred after the world war that saw emigration out of Canada. This was followed by another period of pull factors that saw an expansion in the makeup of Canada’s ethnic population. According to Beaujot (2003) these push and pull factors are based on immigrant social and life course choices. The following are some of the ways that migration have influenced the ethnic

Recently, according to Joe Friesen (2012b) reports that Canadian government considers changing immigration policy, but this policy is unfair for most of the immigrants.

The main purpose of this problem statement is to understand the reasons behind immigrants with high education credentials working on just entry level jobs (underemployment) or are not able to find a job to earn for their livelihood (unemployment). There are many reasons behind this underemployment and unemployment and with the help of this study we will try to help new immigrants to Canada by letting them know about various challenges they might have to face during the initial phase of their life in Canada. Apart from this, our study will also help international students to find jobs matching their skills and even part time jobs during their studies, as our main focus is international students at red river college,
