Came to Canada in 2011 and had begun a fresh new start, but being an immigrant has its fair share of hardships. Though that didn’t stop him from making friends and chasing after opportunities to better his education, discovering simple things like part-time jobs. He was able to broaden his perspective on life after coming here though just like the rest of us, he doesn’t know where he wants to go and where his passion lies. Cautious, determined and curious all at the same time he continues his never-ending journey to figuring out what his passions are. Values freedom, individualism and knowledge over most things, he loves education above all things and it was one of the very reasons why he came to Canada it was all for a better education system.
Quebec is the largest Canadian province, with the second largest population and economy after that of Ontario. Historically, the province of Quebec presents a unique frontier for the analysis of Anglo-French relations. It is important to note that Canadian domain as a whole was principally an extension of France until the British forces led by Jeremy Amherst took hold o Montreal in 1760. The 1763 signing of the Treaty o Paris essentially sealed this acquisition of Canada by the Great Britain. The present federal structure of Canada came into being in 1867; a structure that created the office of the Prime Minister and promised considerable autonomy to the provinces. However, the relations of the French-speaking province of Quebec

Any person, place or event that has held the honour of being commemorated in Canada has been recognized of an extreme importance to the country. It is impossible to research commemoration in Canada without reading about world war one and two; The great wars are arguably the most commemorated events in History let alone Canada. Understanding this they are not the only events that receive attention from Canada, the government recognizes many other occurrences as, well, anything from Sir John A. Macdonald day on the 11th of January to the anniversary of the statute of Westminster on the 11th of December. I do not believe that any one event can be placed above or below another, and that they all hold a value in whatever way that may be. This Essay
In Canada there is no official, government mandated poverty line. It is generally agreed that poverty refers to the intersection of low-income and other dimensions of ‘social exclusion’, including things such as access to adequate housing, essential goods and services, health and well-being and community participation. In Canada, the gap between the rich and poor is on the rise, with four million people struggling to find decent affordable housing, (CHRA) and almost 21% of children in BC are living in poverty it is crucial to address poverty (Stats Can). In class we have considered a number of sociological lens to examine poverty. Structural-functionalists maintain that stratification and inequality are inevitable and
There are more than 1000 people trying to immigrate to Canada. What if Canada contributed more to help the newcomers to Canada? Most of these newcomers are Muslim, and they are mostly coming from Syria, Iraq, and other countries that are at war. They are forced to leave their homes and can barely survive. These people are very vulnerable to almost anything. If Canada inherits these newcomers, it will gain a greater security and become more diverse. This will also become an advantage in the future. The government should help newcomers to Canada because they are vulnerable. It also gives Canada a chance to improve its diversity and safety, and it will benefit Canada in the later years.
The Indian Residential schools and the assimilating of First Nations people are more than a dark spot in Canada’s history. It was a time of racist leaders, bigoted white men who saw no point in working towards a lasting relationship with ingenious people. Recognition of these past mistakes, denunciation, and prevention steps must be taking intensively. They must be held to the same standard that we hold our current government to today. Without that standard, there is no moving forward. There is no bright future for Canada if we allow these injustices to be swept aside, leaving room for similar mistakes to be made again. We must apply our standards whatever century it was, is, or will be to rebuild trust between peoples, to never allow the abuse to be repeated, and to become the great nation we dream ourselves to be,
vision of the settlement process. The settlement journey for immigrants is one that lasts a lifetime and extends into the second generation, and our public policy response must accept this fundamental reality. The Canadian Citizenship and Immigration has put in place some services for the newcomers to Canada like Newcomer Children and Youth in the Schools. An example of the immediate relevance and practical applicability of the notion of social inclusion is the issue of Access to Trades and Professions (ATP). This has been found to be limiting

...vernment with the public demands and their perspectives on what should be done. Another ideal method highlighted includes introducing a new policy to reduce the lengthy period in which immigrants spend in upgrading their education to be equivalent to Canadian standards. Overall, I highly recommend that the first measure which involves implementing a Social Democratic approach would be ideal in addressing this issue. The reason being is that with this approach, the government would be responsible for implementing new regulations for immigration in Canada that will accompany new policies to ensure that all people are treated with equality and justice. There will be a more humanitarian and egalitarian policies to guide immigration in Canada, which will in turn make it easier for immigrants to participate in the Canadian labour market.
During the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the battle for complete colonial domination over Newfoundland had become exacerbated through military and diplomatic hostilities between England and France. These ethnic and nationalist conflicts devolved many decades of cooperation and solidarity amongst fisherman in Newfoundland, which would result in continual warfare between Britain and France. During 1696-1697, the French military under Pierre Le Moyne d 'Iberville had attacked British fishing settlements and destroyed many of them during this conflict. This aspect of the military competition to gain complete control of Newfoundland brought about a major setback to British fishing communities:
When I was born, my family had just migrated to California from Mexico. In a new country, my father worked in landscaping earning less than $4 dollars an hour, while my mother relied on public transportation to take her newborn child to and from doctor visits. In the land of opportunity, my family struggled to put a roof over our heads. But never discouraged, my parents sought to achieve their goals and worked tirelessly to raise my younger brother and I. From a young age, I was taught the importance of education; this became a major catalyst in my life. My desire to excel academically was not for self-gain, but my way of contributing to my family’s goals and aspirations.
Canada's immigration policies changed many times after the end of WWII. Before WWII the immigration policies were "picky" on the people who wanted to come to Canada, but after, it was fair and equal to everyone. Canada's immigration policies changed drastically from being discriminative to being fair and equal to everyone, every country and race after WWII. This act to eliminating discrimination was successful because of; the introduction of the Point System, the introduction of New Immigration acts/policies, and finally the changes made in accepting Refugees. These action completely changed the immigration policies.

It is very hard to behave like born and raised as Canadians for people from different countries, cultures and with different backgrounds. Canadian government is supporting newcomers trough many trainings and courses, but this is immigrants responsibility to be prepared for new circumstances, they have to do a lot of job themselves just to feel safe and secure in new place and life. Immigrants should considered few very important things before they will make their decision about changing place and life style. While they can be great specialist in their field, emigrants have to learn about Canadian culture, Canadian workplace rules, and what’s most important they have to adopt this knowledge to their new life.
With the rise in the population of multicultural youth in Canada, we must accommodate this trend by having more multicultural Child and Youth Workers. Secondly, Multicultural CYWs have a greater sense of cultural awareness as they have experienced different cultures growing up themselves. Lastly, CYWs who come from multicultural backgrounds will have a better understanding of the perspective which the youth comes from. The increase in cultural diversity in Canada means that there should be more multicultural Child and Youth Workers as they are more sought after, cultural knowledgeable, and understanding of perspective when working with Canadian
