My Experience At The Country Where I Come From A Roller Coaster That Is Full Of Ups And Downs

Education along with work experience are vital resources that immigrants convey to Canada’s industry. However, this is not the scenario for many new immigrants, who struggles to get past the preliminary credentials check-up process. In 2007, a report showed that “foreign credentials of 340,000 Canadians or permanent residents of visible minorities have not been recognized” (Andrew Cardozo and Ravi Pendakur, 2007). In addition, a number of unemployed immigrants within that year accounted for the loss of $4.1B in Canada industry. In context, it shows that immigrants have a higher education than Canadian-born, “Statistics show that 47.5% of immigrants, aged 25 to 34, have completed university, compared to 26.6% of Canadian-born, workers” (Canadian government). This shows the proximity of ignorance and prejudice towards hiring an immigrant in Canada. To connect, these contempt results can give rise to many levels of distress, anxiety and psychological problems that can deteriorate and provoke health problems. A study done by Kate Strully at Harvard University concluded that “people had an increase of 81% chance to develop a mental illness after being unemployed” (KW STRULLY -

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.

They face discrimination and unfair treatment based on their lack of residency, accent, nativity status and unequal social benefits such as health care. Discrimination can affect their lifestyle negatively, keeping them from getting jobs and making their life better which in turn adds more stress. Immigrates migrating from a foreign country to make a better life but companies discriminate against them based on their immigration status “Immigration Status Discrimination occurs when an employer treats an individual differently based upon their citizenship or immigration status.” (Workplace Fairness, 2017) an example from Canadian Immigration Experience: Dreams confront Reality a participant in there study said “felt frustrated as they felt potential employers discriminated against them and that they were overlooked as candidates for more highly qualified and better paying positions.” (Khan, Watson, 2005) Due to such actions a law was created; “Immigration Reform and Control Act” a federal law that protects individuals from employment discrimination based on immigration or citizenship

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

A report by Edmonton’s Poverty Elimination Steering Community calls the process of getting such qualifications recognized “a cumbersome, lengthy ordeal” (10, citation 13). Consequently, immigrants often overqualified for the jobs they are often forced into. According to a Statistics Canada study, 61.3% of immigrant men and 67.8% of women educated outside of Canada earned university degrees but held jobs that only required a college diploma. Among those who were educated in Canada or the United States, only 37.5% and 42.3% were overqualified, respectively (Uppal and LaRochelle-Côté 6, citation 15). Over-qualification often leaves immigrants with lower income jobs that they would expect, leading to higher levels of

In this person’s article, he/she discusses some of the hardships which many immigrants, may face in Canada. This person talks about how they at first had utopic dreams about Canada: that Canada did not have any “human weaknesses” and that they would find a job and be happy, free from racial discrimination. However, in the viewpoint of the author, this is far from the reality. The author warns about the difficulties of finding a job in Canada: difficulty in communication between the immigrant and the job supplier, lack of trust with the immigrants history in their home country, the fact that many of the jobs are not advertised in places where people can access them, and racism in choosing which person should get the job. Because of this sources personal experience, he/she warns others not to come to Canada. This is the reason that this source was created is to warn other people from facing the same dangers the author did in Canada. This author ends his/her article by saying that “work” is not something you can depend on to find in Canada. The main economic issue regarding immigration that this source addresses is that it is often very hard for newly landed immigrants to get jobs for many reasons. This is a very important problem as the main reason that the immigrants are let into Canada in the first place is to find a job and help Canada's economy.

Immigration has grown to become a big aspect in today’s society in Canada. Most cities have welcomed immigration, although mainly portrayed in bigger cities. Immigration in Canada has come with its share of pros as well as its share of cons. The pros with the immigration in Canada starts off with the racial blending of persons in the community, giving future generations a more positive outlook towards equality for all races because they grow up in a world that, for them, hasn’t seen racial and cultural inequality. In my opinion, in a world where children aren’t aware of the cultural and racial inequalities that had been put forth in the generations before them is an enormous strength to immigration for the fact that every person has a right to life and liberty and to have those ideas implanted in the generations to come is detrimental to a working society. Cons found in immigration in Canada fall in employment. The more people immigrate to Canada, the more jobs are being filled leaving others without any. The Immigration Refugee Board is able to offer a wide

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

Canada has turned into an attractive place for immigrants from around the globe who are looking for a developed country that will give them good opportunities to succeed in their future. “Over the last few decades, Canadian immigrants have come primarily from these ten countries: China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, the United States, Iran, Romania, the United Kingdom, and Sri Lanka.”( Hughes). Immigration had been the key to Canada’s economy as it benefits it economically and politically. “Immigrants added their cultures, languages, and religions to the mix.” (Ibid, Hughes). New comer’s have a positive impact on Canadian society. They have contributed to Canada’s economy in so many ways but most importantly they have contributed by providing and assisting in skills and labour shortage, they have excelled in the educational opportunities offered in Canada and also they bring their culture to Canada when they immigrate here.

When immigrants first step into Canadas borders the most obvious challenge they have to face is the barrier that is set immediately due to language differences. Canadas official languages include both English and French these languages arguably are the most difficult languages to learn. In many ways, for immigrants the first step to both economic and societal immigration is learning English. Without learning English and proper English literacy skills there is little chance of getting a well-paying job, making connections with people in Canadian society and overall, without English immigrants are unable to communicate with others around them in society during everyday life. Language and Literacy training also relate to immigrant's employability. In a study showing

Throughout many years, people from various countries throughout the world have immigrated to other countries for their own life necessities. Some countries provide a minimize of the things people need, so they come to the conclusion that finding another home with better options might be better for their lives. The United States having the most immigrants with 44 million, and Ukraine having the most emigrants with 6.6 million for different reasons. Many people go through tough phases during their existence in their own countries, wanting to live a better life with, and for their family members. The number of immigrants that come to Canada in a year is 250 000. But why is it that people immigrant to Canada? Canada provides 3 major

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

This article provides detailed information that give statistics based on distinguishing immigrant classes: “Tables 2 (for males) and 3 (for females) present descriptive statistics by broad immigrant class across the three cycles of the survey. … For both genders, it is clear that skilled worker principal applicants have higher educational attainment, and it is also apparent that males have higher averages than females”. This article is distinct from the other two articles by the fact that many more statistics are offered. These extra statistics offer more insight into the descriptions of the economical immigrant policies. Moreover, the article offers an insight into a range of policy proposals in determining how immigrants can immigrate into Canada. The articles introduction mentions important policies that the Canadian government put into place: Recent examples include the Ontario Expert Roundtable on Immigration (2012) and the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada. The paper presents a basic description of differences in labour market outcomes, including both earnings and employments. This is an important statement as it informs the reader about the various types of concepts, along with their sources, that have

In the past, Canadian identity was dominated by the clash between English Canadians and French Canadians, and the close ties between the English-Canadians and the British Empire. However, with the gradual weakening of our ties with Great Britain, immigrants from Europe, Asia, and Africa have reshaped the Canadian identity. Immigrants built Canada into what it is today. From the Chinese on the Canadian Pacific Railway to the Irish on much of the work on Victoria bridge, and the Italians on the Bloor Street Bridge. However, immigrants face many problems when adapting into Canada. These problems can include cultural differences, difference in political values and beliefs, and discrimination. But what item can help immigrants adapt into

In conclusion, these two authors, looking back now to what has become of Canada would be happy at the transformation that has taken place between then and now. The points system in place now is based not on your country of origin but on your skills. The immigration and multicultural act sees immigrants as having all the rights and privileges accorded to any white person.
