Why Is Aiesec Relevant For Queen 's University, Canada, And The World?

The need for higher education has prompted many students to seek further studies in international colleges outside their countries and Australia has become an academic hub for international students who mostly come from developing nations in Asia and Africa. The students, once they secure a place in this schools, they are subjected to a new environment which comes with different challenges. International students in Australia have become an integral part of the society both social and economical. However the students face a myriad of challenges before fully adopting to the new learning culture. In

And this solution led to liberal immigration laws that admit 200,000 new immigrants to Canada each year. About 70 percent of recent immigrants to urban Canada are visible minorities; people of color make up nearly 50 percent of populations in Vancouver and Toronto and are the fastest growing communities in Canada’s eight largest cities (J. Y. Yee and G. C. Dumbrill, “Whiteout: looking for race in Canadian social work practice,” inMulticultural Social Work in Canada: Working With Diverse Ethno-Racial Communities, A. Al-Krenaw and J. R. Graham, Eds., pp. 98–121, Oxford University Press, Don Mills, Canada, 2003.) For instance, RBC Financial Group has ensured that 22% of their workforce is comprised of visible minorities (V. Dugale, “The changing color of Canada,” Our Times, vol. 25, no. 5, pp. 24–28, 2006.) Similarly, FedEx has a high proportion of visible minorities (almost 7%) in senior management positions. Its staff represents about 19 nationalities at its Mississauga, Ontario headquarters (R. Robin, “Delivering diversity,” Canadian Business, vol. 77, no. 7, p. 38, 2004.)

The authors, Gillian Creese and Tania Das Gupta, both demonstrate that equality is less pronounced than the Canadian Constitution Act of 1982 states. Although these two articles were written on different time periods in history, both articles display racism in the Canadian society, specifically at a workplace. Creese focuses on the experiences of Chinese workers whereas Gupta investigates the experiences of Black nurses. However, Creese's description of racism is more extreme than Gupta's, which could indicate that there has been an improvement in equality in Canada. Regardless, these articles prove that there is a difference between the promise made by the constitution and reality.

Sciences Po’s emphasis on debate and their variety of student organizations based upon their disciplines speak to my passion for debating and public speaking in both French and English. Having travelled the country as one of Canada’s top debaters, I would love to engage with this intellectual discourse, both within the classroom and beyond, in a university which embodies it as one of its core values. I plan on participating in both Sciences Po’s and UBC’s debate clubs and debating on the international university level. As a member of my school’s Student Council, I am also anticipating being an active member of student associations such as the Student Bureau and Arts Club. Most importantly in terms of personal ambitions, I want to experience the wider world around me. Reims and Vancouver, as well as their respective universities, are two very different and diverse places with two different styles of education. Gaining a unique experience with both systems and locations in my undergraduate is only possible in the Dual Degree

2). The TRC also has a section of recommendations for Education. The first notable goal is to develop a joint strategy to eliminate the employment and education gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians by the government with involvement of Indigenous groups (TRC, 2015, p.1). Secondly, the TRC also called upon the government to draft new legislation with full participation of Indigenous people to develop culturally appropriate course material (TRC, 2015, p. 2). In general a lot of the recommendations made in the TRC relate to the safety of Indigenous women, but specifically one goal caught by eye. Goal number 41, requests the government launch an inquiry into MMIW (TRC, 2015, p.4). Originally when these goals were released, Canada was under the Conservative government. The government disagreed with the inquiry which made this goal originally not succeed. However, in 2015 with the change to a Liberal government, Justin Trudeau launched the inquiry. The MMIW inquiry is set to look at root problems such as transportation, health care, domestic violence, racism, and education opportunities (Wiart, 2016). The results will be presented in 2018.

While there are undoubtedly thousands of students across Canada who are worthy of receiving a Schulich Leader Scholarship, only a handful of those thousands can be selected to receive the prestigious award. That minority is composed of students who would make great Schulich leaders, and I believe I could be one of those individuals. My experiences in different areas of my life are what have shaped me into the person I am today; namely, these experiences consist of my academic endeavours and my involvement in extracurricular activities. As a result of these, I have become someone who can compete for the Schulich Leader Scholarship and for the countless, significant opportunities such an award offers.

History. Established in 1841, Queen’s University is one of the oldest universities in Canada and has many gorgeous, historic buildings that date back to 1834.

Canada is a country known for having high standards of health care with free access to all citizens. Despite this being a widely held idea, the reality is that marginalized groups are not experiencing the same standards of health care as other Canadian Citizens. Despite the fact that some researchers say racialization does not play a factor in the level of health care received by people (Guilfoyle 1512), Indigenous Peoples in Canada do not have equal access to the Canadian health care system due to the problems arising from long-standing systemic issues, barriers to access, widely accepted stereotypes, and a lack of cultural safety training.

Every countries’ governments seek to deliver high quality health care and reasonable cost to all citizens. However, all nations have not equality health care service and reasonable cost. Canada government provides equality health care services and public facilities to the citizens. However, Canada Health Care System has been the subject of controversies compared to the United States Health Care System. Some people may agree with the idea because people should not wait longer for surgeries or examinations, patients have high quality of medical and better services. However, if change the health care system, Canada government cannot intervene to health care system, Canada citizens pay higher medical cost and do not get equality services.

Since universal suffrage, women have made tremendous economic and social progress in Canada. Canada has been called "a world leader in the promotion and protection of women's rights and gender equality," (Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada). Yet a hundred years after universal suffrage, gender disparity continues to exist in Canada. Gender disparity is evident in the political, economic, and social spheres. Political disparity refers to the lack of adequate representation of women in local, provincial, and federal politics, resulting in continued political disenfranchisement and a lack of attention being paid to remedying the situation. Economic disparity refers to unequal pay between men and women in the labor market, economic dependency of women, and differential degrees of wealth and poverty. Social disparity refers to gender bias, sexism, and other sociological factors. Although Canada continues to rank relatively high in terms of most measures of gender parity, the nation can and should do more to ensure political, economic, and social equality.

You would expect in the 21st century that Canada understands the importance of closing the gender gap and would treat everyone equally, but that’s not the case. The gender gap is the differences between men and women and can be shown politically, socially, culturally, economically, or even intellectually. It has been an issue for several years, and only a few people have done anything to close the gender gap or do anything to make a considerable change in it. Moreover, the gender gap doesn’t make a good impact on our world and should be closed if we wish to live in an equal and fair environment. We should be looking at how the gender gap will impact us economically, environmentally, politically, and socially.

The equality rights of Canadians are all protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Individuals have the right to not be discriminated based on enumerated (race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age and mental or physical disability) and analogous (sexual orientation, marital status, citizenship and Aboriginality-residence) grounds. Fortunately, Hagi-Yusuf filed a complaint, on enumerated grounds, to the government discussing how he wants to send a message to the company. Hagi-Yusuf wishes for an apology, adjusted hiring practices, and monetary compensations from the Kitchener financial services company. I chose this article because it highlights, racism still occurs in Canada whether it is discrimination against Aboriginals or other ethnic groups. People often relate racism to the United States of America because of the violence occurring with black people, though it’s important to know it occurs globally. Racism and discrimination against different ethnic groups and Aboriginals should be enforced because of the refugees entering Canada from the Middle East and Africa. As shown, people who came to Canada to escape a civil war, 20 years ago, are still seen as foreigners when Hagi-Yusuf was rejected for the job. The refugees entering Canada should not have to face discrimination based on their ethnic group and because of section 15: Equality Rights. The Canadian government should strive to enforce the right and make Canada a country where everyone is treated as

As a land of opportunities, Canada is one of the most popular destinations for immigrants and international students from all over the world. It is an indisputable reality that some kind of racial discrimination is a part of Canada’s diverse population because of the white domination in the field of social work. Racism as a basic construction of oppression is meant to consider people dissimilar by their external appearance, culture, hair structure, language and facial characteristics (Yee, 2005). Racial discrimination in the field of social work by the dominants is an undeniable factor in Canada when having a close look

Racial discrimination in the workplace has been a persistent theme in Canada’s history as well as present-day times. The occurrence of actions and attitudes that impose a sense of one being less equal than another on the basis of one’s race in Canada’s workplace inhibits both our nation’s ability to move forward as well as strengthen unification within our country. The belief in a more egalitarian society, where one’s race and ethnic background have little to no impact on employees (or potential employees) standings within the job market, would seemingly be reinforced by the majority of Canadians, who consistently show support for Canada’s multicultural identity. Couple that with the noticeable strides Canada has made in the past several

where students may study and earn degrees on Aboriginal studies. The history of Canada is
