Immigration To Canada Research Paper

Immigration in Canada

Citizens from another country, who are interested in immigrating to Canada may apply if:

They are closely related to a Canadian citizen. Example, with a government program, citizens and/or permanent residents already in Canada can sponsor family members of another country to immigrate to Canada (family class),

They are skilled workers and professionals. Meaning, they have business experience or management experience, allowing them to stay in Canada for a shorter period than other classes of immigration (economic immigrant),

or,

They are in need of safety from persecution, war, or human right abuses (refugee).

The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), arrange defenselessness refugees who are a low-security risk,

such as women and complete families.

Requirements for Refugees:
All applicants must have an interview with a professional and experienced visa officers who will collect information such as nationality, age, language skills for English/French, family members, education, being, at least, post-secondary, work experience, and income or net worth.

Each applicant coming to Canada requires to provide information like listed above. Before an application can be accepted, each person must sustain a security and medical check. Security checks include fingerprints, digital photos, and searching immigration, law, and security databases. For medical checks, a full medical exam and a screening for certain diseases, like tuberculosis and current signs of illnesses are needed. It could take six-plus months before being eligible to leave for Canada.

Fees:

Fortunately, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), private sponsors or the blended visa-office referred program, provides travel fees and other assistance, such as a loan. Depending if you get a sponsor, and which kind (government-assisted refugee, in this case), you will be provided with food, clothing, and housing up to 12 months and in some cases 3 years. It is important to get a job right away, so you're able to start paying back within 30 days of arrival and to support yourself and your family.

Challenges:

Five main challenges immigrants may face

are:

Meeting language needs - English (or French) is essential in an everyday life in Canada. It's a way to communicate at work, school, or in the streets. It may be difficult to reach requirements, especially when just learning,

Isolation - we all know it's a challenge to move away from friends and family, missing the support we need. Creating new social circles is overwhelming too, but thankfully there are support groups to resolve this stress,

Discrimination - unfortunately, discrimination of racism still exists. There too, are support groups that help fight the discrimination,

Employment - good language skills are needed for employment. Despite that, getting credentials and work experience can be just as difficult, especially when you need to pay off your loans and fees,

And,

Cultural differences - immigrants may not be used to the different genders, religious diversity, ethnicity, and/or sexuality since their previous country may not have agreed with this.
