Skilled Immigrant Case Study

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.

One of the goals of the Immigrant Workers Center is to increase the minimum wage to $15/hour in order to help and immigrants and offer them resources and referrals. Thus, I must have some knowledge about the governmental approach and programs available for immigrants. I need to know if those programs are efficient, how they contribute to the integration of immigrants, and if they are helpful or not. In addition, I must have some general knowledge about the immigration processes i.e. time, requirements, qualifications etc. In order to have this knowledge, I will seek out for governmental sources such as the website of the Canadian government, conservative website (for previous immigrations programs), immigrants’ témoignages to have a general

We learned some of the temporary and permanent ways people come to Canada such as: studying in Canada for two years as well as having one year of work experience, being sponsored by Family or work, and having a visa (Student and visitor). As well as that all sounds sadly things are not always so easy for an immigrant or refugee. Normally they work in jobs where the labour is intense and the pay minimal, get disrespected by their community and have a lack of resources available to them due to the fact that they might not be able to speak English fluently if at all. Some who were doctors in their home country would find it near impossible to get the same profession again in Canada. Even with the hardships, they continue on to make a better life for

A system was put in place to make it obtainable for the best and brightest Chinese immigrants to migrate to Canada. Once the Chinese immigrants migrated, they found themselves at a loss; as the required degrees and experience that Canada says they want, often does not lead to a position in his/her chosen field. In Canada, job discrimination is easy to see, but almost impossible to prove. Chinese immigrants tend to take the brunt of the discrimination. A Chinese mechanical engineer could end up being a convince store owner or a general laborer; this is due to the potential bias attitude combined with little to no English and/or French speaking

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.

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

In spite of the harsh discrimination and mistreatment, Chinese immigrants established an everlasting signature in the development of Canada. During the early 19th century, war and rebellion in China forced many peasants and workers to seek their livelihoods elsewhere. Along with an increasing volume of job opportunities in Canada, there were many motivational factors which influenced thousands of Chinese people to immigrate to the new, developing nation of Canada. Nevertheless, alike other non-Caucasian immigrants, the measure of racism and discrimination that the Chinese were forced to endure left many mentally, physically, and spiritually scarred. Despite the countless acts of racism and segregation, the Chinese continued to work hard

According to the article “Immigration Issues” by Lucia Engkent, Canada depends on immigration for economic growth. It also states, that immigrants work hard at jobs that Canadian do not want to do. Immigrants leave everything behind in their countries to come to Canada for a better life and to provide for their children. Immigrants must adapt to Canada culture, laws and language. Since the first generation, immigrants work hard to succeed, this puts pressure on their children to also succeed. The second generation immigrants have high level because they have to follow two different cultures included following their cultural tradition and living Canadian lifestyle. Therefore, there are a lot of different between the first and second

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.

(Krahn, Lowe & Hughes 2010). Due to such extreme increases to Canada’s educated population and workforce demographic it is no surprise we have continued to see issues of inequality and insecurity. University-educated immigrants are much more likely than native-born Canadians with university degrees to be working in jobs with low education requirements (e.g., taxi drivers, salespeople). In 2006, about 10 percent of native-born Canadians with university degrees were working in such low-skill jobs, compared to 44 percent of recently immigrated women with degrees and 28 percent of recently immigrated men with degrees (Galarneau and Morissette 2009: 15). (Krahn, Lowe & Hughes 2010).

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 -

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

From the year 1991 to 2011, when young immigrants arrived, they have lower employment rate than the one of the Canadian-born individuals. The worsen conditions have happened in recent years. For example, in 1991, the first year since migration has employment rate at 0.397 while the average of young employment rate at 0.590. However in 2011, youth immigrants’ employment rate low to 0.296

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

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
