Non-Immigrant Employment Authorization In Canada

The pace of immigration in the contemporary scenario has increased significantly. Historically, movement of people from rural areas to cities and under-privileged nations to rich, affluent countries was a normal phenomenon. As increasing poverty and unemployment in the modern world have forced many poor workers in under-privileged and developing countries to search opportunities elsewhere, the demand in the developed countries like Canada have increased, especially for low-wage, low skilled, temporary workers. In Canada, the reluctance of many Canadians to accept low wage, low-skilled, temporary employment has fueled the demand for

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.

“An immigrant who can bring with him work for twelve people is to be welcomed with open arms even in a industrial colossus like the United States - welcomed anywhere it would seem but in Canada...Not only have the refugees brought work, but they have brought new customers”, (Document, 9).

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.

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

The issues and events examined in these two essays provide a fair and thoughtful discussion of processes that have led to diminished workplace rights among the women and migrant and immigrant workers in Canada. The decisive role in the development of long-term strategies as wage solidarity, the operation

This has come to be through the emerging of programs from the 1970’s such as the Canada Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP). Programs like the SAWP, has made it possible for interested Canadian farm owners and Mexican or Caribbean workers to form a working contract that allows, most commonly Mexican migrant workers, to come to Canada for eight to ten months to work for Canadian farmers in exchange for set wages, living and working conditions. (Brem, M. 2006., Gabriel, C., & Macdonald, L. 2014., Government of Canada.

The Liberal party proposed several institutional reforms regarding immigration. Firstly, allowing foreign students and resident workers to be able to apply to immigrate to Canada while they are in the country. Secondly, ensuring that children who are adopted internationally become Canadian citizens once completed their adoption process. Lastly, they wanted to cut down the “right of permanent residence” fee which at the time was $975 to $600, then to $300 after 12 months, and finally to zero within two budgets. However, the major proposition by the Liberals on immigration was funding. They wanted to allocate 1.3 billion dollars to immigration settlement and integration programs, 700 million over 5 years to clear up immigration applications.

Although the policies have since been abandoned, exploitation has not gone far. Judy Fudge (2011) gives an example of how the program takes away rights from workers in the fact that live-in caregivers are hired on contracts to one specific employer; this restricts them to working for one family, and if any problems arise it could take months before a solution is found and another contract is created. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives Canadian citizens the mobility rights to move and hold work wherever they please, but because migrant workers are not yet citizens, this does not apply. Prejudices can also be seen in the difference between the treatment of white domestic workers and those of colour. Sedef Arat Koc (1999) explains how white domestic workers are referred to as “nannies” and only expected to carry out caregiving jobs while receiving a normal pay wage and proper recognition for their work.

Insecurity and inequality is an everlasting issue in the labour market of Canada. It is known that insecurity is attributed to lack of dependable work as well as income, and to the presence of difficult and dangerous conditions of work. While, inequality refers to the different outcomes, statuses, and experiences among different groupings of people in the society of Canada. (Athabasca University, 2013). In 2006, the proportion of immigrants in Canada reached its highest level in 75 years, with 19.4 percent of the population having been born outside the country (Statistics Canada 2007a).

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

Employee skills and the ability of employers to attract and retain skilled workers will be a primary concern to Canada’s economy in the immediate future. A train overflowing with crisis is approaching, and we need to stop listening for it to come because it’s already bearing down on us. Labour and skill shortages in Canada can be attributed to: aging population, increased life expectancy, migration of highly skilled labour, and the disparity between the skills possessed by youth and the skills demanded by employers.

Is Canada really open for ALL immigrants? In this essay it is going to talk about if Canada is open to all in the 1945-2015. In Canada, immigration policy was into effect and stayed unchanged until 1962, when Canada's universal and policy not making an unfair distinction between different categories of people. In the later years in Canada, we have made our country’s immigration policy free to everyone. In 2006, Canada made a policy that if you score 67 points or higher (out of 100), that you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker.

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.

This article comprehensively analyzes how the Canadian government aimed to accomplish different policy objectives in order to make immigration processes simpler: “These programs generally increase the participation by the provincial governments and employers in the selection of immigrants; increase the use of temporary foreign workers, and give the federal government more authority to control the flow of immigrants of particular types.” . The Canadian government implements new programs in order to make the selection of immigrants much more efficient. The Canadian government states specifically how their future programs will increase the participation of various governments and employers in selecting immigrants. Secondly, the article describes how the difficulty of applying for immigration status has increased over the years due to Canada’s government regulations: There is a wide variety of criteria for the selection of economic immigrants. For example, the PN program has up to 60 streams in which an immigrant can apply, each with different criteria. There are many streams to which an immigrant can apply, meaning that these government agencies that aim to accept certain immigrants are all based on various criteria. They do not aim to accept all immigrants that apply for immigration, but
