people. When the people of those countries decide to move to other country maybe because they were facing a lot of problems back home for example kidnapping, fights, war, for better future, for peaceful life. My uncle grandfather moved to Canada on 1978 February to Canada Quebec Montreal. He arrived here as a refuge and lived as a refuge for the next 7 years. His profession was law in back home. He didn't find any lawyer that can fight for his case. He decided to fight his case by himself even though he

Introduction Canada is a big country possessing many natural and rich resources. Since World War II, Canada’s manufacturing, mining and service sectors experienced a significant increase which transformed the country from a mainly rural economy to a mainly urban and industrial economy (Central Intelligence Agency, 2015). Immigration plays a big role in Canada’s history, starting as early as settlers from France and England. By 1960, around one-third of Canada’s population had neither a British or
Over the years Canada has become recognized as the most preferred country of both resettlement and travel. Thousands of individuals embark on a journey to Canada each year, because the country holds a remarkable reputation as a nation built upon peace, diversity, and acceptance. The multicultural environment in Canada is welcoming of people from multiple, ethnicities and cultures. The country’s history is very unique because it’s based heavily on immigration; Canada was established by the combined
Immigration for some is a very difficult and stressful process. One of the main reasons for immigration is poverty, coming from a third world country, people want to improve their lifestyle and their economy, high expectation to get higher salaries. War is also one of the reasons, it is in some countries very dangerous and this does not grant the opportunity for civilians to have a stable lifestyle, full of security and protection. Immigration brings a lot of beneficial things to the country.
The history of immigration law in Canada began in 1828 when the great migration to Canada occurred. The first legislative passed by Britain was accountable for the safety and well being of immigrants leaving the United Kingdom and coming to Canada. This act limited the number of passengers who could be carried on a ship, control the amount of space given to the passengers, and the ship must provide the passengers with adequate supplies. These were ignored by the powerful transportation companies
Irish Immigration to Canada The Irish began immigrating to North America in the 1820s, when the lack of jobs and poverty forced them to seek better opportunities elsewhere after the end of the major European wars. When the Europeans could finally stop depending on the Irish for food during war, the investment in Irish agricultural products reduced and the boom was over. After an economic boom, there comes a bust and unemployment was the result. Two-thirds of the people of Ireland depended on potato
Introduction – The Policy issue that I intend to examine is Immigration and Employment History on Immigration in Canada Canada has continuously served as a home to immigrants and refugees from decade to decade harbouring people from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The first set of immigrants to settle in the country came from Britain, the United States and from other nationalities mostly including immigrants from Europe who were either desperate to escape from religious or political
Immigration Policies in Canada Canada's immigration policy is based upon principles of family reunion, humanitarian concern for refugees, and the promotion of Canada's social, economic, demographic and cultural goals. Every year, millions of people enter Canada at airports, sea docks, or inland ports and border crossings. Immigration accounts for a significant part of Canada's size, state of growth, and demographic structure. The three types of applications for landing in Canada that I will
Every year Canada welcomes many immigrants from other countries and all sections of society. Many people come over to Canada because they want a better future for themselves and their kids. When coming to another country it can be a culture stock but over time people learn how to adjust their lifestyle and the way they eat. My main focus will be on an Indian diet and what they are used to eating. First when they come here they may not like the way the food taste here or may not have see it in India
Thesis: Immigration has changed Canada throughout history for the better. Reason: Canada’s population rate is shrinking and having more immigrants move to Canada increases the population. In the mid 1940’s to the mid 1960’s the fertility rate for women was on average 3 children or more per woman (Canadians in Context, 2012). Since then the fertility rate has decreased dramatically the past 30 years (Canadians in Context, 2012). Currently, Women are typically only having on average 1-2 kids, which
Position Paper Immigration in canada is very beneficial for the country. Canada is an expanding country. Everyday jobs are created and, many jobs are seeking hirement. There are not enough working Canadians to do all these jobs, and some jobs Canadians just simply don’t want to do. The population prism for Canada is almost upside down with many more elderly people than younger people. There is a way to fix both these problems. Immigration fills open jobs and helps Canada with its population problems
The Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is known as the national agency on immigration. The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration heads the department. CIC was created in 1994 intending to bring the policy areas of immigration and citizenship under one department. In 2008, the multiculturalism portfolio was relocated under the CIC authority, from the Canadian Heritage. It replicated the current nature of Canadian immigration, extremely ethnical and religious diverse. CIC is responsible for
challenges to their economic and social integration in Toronto (Tossutti 2012). Through immigration settlement, this paper will show how immigration settlement provides a lack of access to services to newcomers, in which they face serious challenges to their economic and social integration. For the past decade, Canada has opened its doors to about 250,000 immigrants and refugees a year (Citizenship and Immigration Canada, 2015), however the government has its requirements. Many of these immigrants that
During the 19th and 20th century immigration was vastly popular among the Irish and Chinese people. They faced rough travels across the oceans, dangerous disease causing many to die while on ships and navigated through harsh landscapes. Finding ships to take them was difficult along with the ride across the oceans which resulted in many fatalities for the Irish. Once they arrived both of them were discriminated against due to their ethnicity, culture and religion. Many of these people were used because
Canada is one of the few developed countries that have a state immigration policy. As an immigration country receives about 200,000 new immigrants each year, Canada has been and remains one of the most desired countries to potential immigrants from various countries of the world. In the future we plan to accept 300,000 immigrants per year. Canada (unlike the US) is more open to free or so-called independent immigration (Adida, p. 1370). A citizen of any country in the performance of certain requirements
The Portuguese immigrated to Canada around the 19th century. It all started in the year 1953, when a group of Portuguese pioneers immigrated to Canada (Moura, 2003). Once the first couple of Portuguese pioneers crossed the ocean to immigrate into Canada, others followed and sort of started a wave. However, in 1957 a volcano erupted, known as the Capelinhos, which end up making Portuguese families and pioneers move to North America (Morrison & James, 2009), because the living conditions had changed
The Sikh community in Canada is increasingly growing through immigration in recent years. However, contrary to the values of a multicultural and diversity Canada prides itself with today; Canadian immigration policies in the past presented a dark history of prejudice, intolerance and discriminatory practices. Earlier this year, Justin Trudeau issued a formal apology for the 1914 Komagata Maru incident, in which Canada refused to welcome most of the passengers from a ship carrying a majority of Sikh
year, over 250,000 people make Canada their new home. Attracted by its education system, economy and universal healthcare system, there are few other places in the world like it. All Canadians are guaranteed equality before the law and equality of opportunity, regardless of where they are from. However, some might argue that Canadian policy has not been put into practice as well as it should be. Is the concept of true equality a far-fetched idea? It seems that Canada has taken great measures to promote
Throughout Canada’s relatively short existence we have created quite a reputation for ourselves. Our great nation is known for many things , and I am proud to say that most are positive. Does Canada have a strong national identity? Anyone can see the answer is yes. Just take a look at the facts. For example, we are renowned for our peacekeepers and no other country is considered more peaceful. Without a doubt this is the type of identity we should work to keep. The first thing we should examine is
