Immigration Trends In Australia

It was in 1945 following the end of WWII that thee Chifley Labour Government established the Department of Immigration with Arthur Calwell at its head. The department used the slogan ‘Populate or Perish’ to promote the idea of increase Australia’s population to the people. The surrounding events such as the recent war and vulnerability to border security breech by the Japanese on top of the small population, convinced the then prime minister Ben Chifley and the Australian public that immigration was vital to the nation’s survival.

Back in the 1990s, immigration has been a huge deal in the United States. In fact, the history of the America is deeply rooted in immigration. For many years, the United States were open the door for the immigrants. However, these immigrants created a huge impact on U.S. economically, politically, socially and many more. Since then, the United States passed out law to restrict the number of immigrant for admission into the United States. In short, this paper attempts to analyse the law and restriction that the United States passed out in order to solve the immigration issues.

In this paper, I decided to analyze the immigration policy. The immigration policies have had a deep history. The policies have been twisted, in the long run, to meet the demands of the time. However, most of the times, the policies have been unfair especially in regard to the immigrants. The overview contains a rich history of the policy progression and advancements in the immigration sector. In this paper, I decided to extrapolate on some few contemporary issues that are as a result of the immigration policies and laws. One of the contentious issues is the Visa policy. This is a system that is widely used by the US government. Though formulated with a good purpose, the formulation did not cater for everything that is associated with immigration. For instance, the immigrants who are on transit for employment are not selected based on the employment demand in the market, hence, they end up being stranded and thus are forced to accept low-paying jobs with poor working conditions. The solution to this is also discussed in the paper. I have also discussed on the open door policy and its implications which include overpopulation. Overpopulation on its part has directly affected both the immigrants and natives with many adverse effects. I was able to do research, and I consequently came up with a set of alternative methods that could be of help. However, I have also discussed

But why people choose Canada? What does Canada have to offer to receive this high ratio of immigrants who settle down in this country each year? It is actually a really easy, however complex fact. The quality of life in Canada is absolutely first-rate, and Canada is constantly receiving awards and accolades to affirm this. Canada, simply, ranked the most livable country each year. Immigrants not only seek better jobs and economy, it is really important to them how people treat them here. As a free country, every nation and religion is accepted and immigrants can practice their beliefs without begin shamed for it. Of course, it’s not only the freedom they are looking for. The opportunities for employment in Canada are plentiful, and potential migrants with a skilled trade behind them will find that their chances of successfully applying for migration to Canada are significantly increased. Opportunities are also very wide for businessmen and investors whose work will help to increase Canada’s already flourishing economy. As a huge country, Canada was always in need of labor, and for economic reasons immigration kept increasing. One factor is that Canada has one of the

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.

Canada is a pioneer in immigration. Although after the creation of Canada, immigration was opened only for European citizens, but Canada changed its view after Second World War due to the European immigrants’ unwillingness to migrate to Canada. As a result Canada opened its door for non-European countries throughout the world. Over the past 30 years, immigrants from Asia, Latin America, and Africa are migrating to Canada and today comprised over two-thirds of total immigration. Eighty percent of these immigrants are coming from developing countries. These immigrants were accepted under the skilled worker program and were selected following a point system based on their education, official language capabilities, work experience, age, arranged employment, and flexibility to fill out the employment

Today, Canadian cities are more diverse than they have been at any point in history. Over the last 20 years, the number of Canada’s visible minorities has increased from 5 percent to 19 percent (Stodolska M., 2015). Commonly, immigrants will arrive with a strong determination to be successful in their everyday lives and to acquire new knowledge and language skills. The people with the most drive to succeed in these areas tend to have a more effective adaptation to their new country (McNeely, C. A et al., 2017). A healthy transition to a new country can be realised by many aspects throughout the resettlement process, most are the characteristics of the “host” community.

In Immigration Au Canada : Un Portrait De La Population Née À L'étranger, Tina Chui, Kelly Tran and Hélène Maheux focus on native countries of immigrants in order to determine the top countries of immigrants. However, they also focus on immigrants’ integration, adaptation, and choices of life. In addition, they briefly examine the Canadian immigration policy. For instance, often the Canadian government prefers immigrants that will directly contribute to the economy. Those who already known French or English are privileged, hence it is not surprising that Europe is in the top 3 location from where the majority of immigrants come. Once in Canada, must of immigrants have to redo their studies as here their diplomas are not recognize. Personally,

Selective immigration policies are becoming very popular in developed countries such as Canada, the United States and Australia to attract skilled immigrants. Different approaches and criteria are being used to improve the process of selecting skilled immigrants. These selective immigration policies fall under one of the following three groups (Doomernik, Koslowski & Thraenhardt, 2009):

Migration, normally being treated as a pathway that provides an opportunity for the aspiring people to seek for better lives for themselves or their descendants. Actually, immigrants may realize that they are too optimistic to their immigrant lives after they settled. Also, no for every country, newcomers into receiving country would be treated with optimism. Such as in Canada, there is much of peculiarity as may apply. As opposed to some of the OECD countries who have embraced skilled labour and absorbed majority of skilled immigrants into their systems, Canada has over the years been going through a difficult path for newcomers. Statistics have indicated that many of the skilled immigrants are managed in jobs that do not match

In 2013, according to the United Nations there were approximately 231 million people residing in a country other than their place of birth. Amongst western societies, Canada is considered one of the generous countries to immigrate to with one of the highest per capita admission rates. It has, on average, offered placement to more than 200,000 immigrants per year over the past decade, earning Canada a global reputation for its "open arms" attitude.

Many immigrants come to Canada each year in order to make a better living. It is not easy to move to a new country and start a new life in a new environment hence, newcomers go through different emotions. According to the Government of Canada, Canadian population is approximately 31 million

According to 2011 release by National Household Survey (NHS), recognized Canada as a nation of multicultural society with an ethno-cultural shaped by immigrants.

Today, in the early 21st century, immigration to Canada is a complicated process that encompasses a very restricted and limited guaranteed entry rate.

My mother received her Australia citizenship in 1990 and my father received his Australia citizenship in 1999.They chose to leave their home countries because there was war in Lebanon and Syria, my father first came to Melbourne because he had a doctor conference, so he needed to stay in Melbourne for two months. My father then immigrated to Melbourne because there were better business opportunities in Australia. Then, my mother decided to come back to Melbourne, because she had heard my father was there. My mother already had a citizenship from 1990 because most of her family lived in Melbourne, but at the time my father was in Australia, she had gone to visit her relatives and parents back in Lebanon.
