How Does Immigration Affect The Quality Of Life

This article, Why Immigration is a chequebook issue, is written by David Olive, a writer in the business section of the Toronto Star. This article was written in October of 2015, which is just when the oil price, the backbone of Canada’s economy, began to fall. This implies that Olive’s article was created in order to bring up the issue of immigration and how it may have an impact in this crucial time of Canada's economy. Olive’s stance on the issue of immigration is that immigrants will make Canada more advanced economically and technologically. Throughout this article, Olive uses a positive tone toward immigrants, explaining how they will benefit Canada, through saying that immigrants are accountable for Canada's “unlikely high standard

Their new arrival helped defend and build their country’s way of life ("The government of Canada," n.d.) Immigration has been a major influence on the development of their society and plays a huge role in their economy. Their economy job market is broken into three different categories which include service, natural resources and manufacturing.

In the early 1900’s immigration to Canada was only granted for those who seemed to suit the Canadian parliament’s view and description of a “Valuable immigrant”. The government’s description on an immigrant with value was: “Someone who was a capable farmer, flexible, hardworking and able to withstand extremes in climate.” However the catch was that people outside of most British nations and people of color, were not welcomed to migrate to Canada. For instance, people of Asian background were charged a “head tax” of $200, while people of south Asian backgrounds weren’t even considered to be looked upon as potential immigrants’. It wasn’t until the Immigration Act of 1976, which granted people permission from around the world to migrate to Canada. This act was directed and created by Canada’s 15th Prime

The Canadian government portrays the country as a land of new beginnings, where people go to start a better life for themselves and their families. With much to offer to newcomers, including the promises of safety, security and healthcare, the vast selection of jobs and education, and an overall high quality of living, many immigrants have chosen and will continue to choose Canada as their new home country. Canadian officials take pride in accepting and embracing multiculturalism - as Canada is often referred to as a country of cultural mosaic in contrast to the idea of the American ‘melting pot’. This image of Canada overlooks the ill-advised past actions that have taken place, much the same way as it disregards the subtle discrimination that

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.

Canada is a multicultural country which has a history of providing home for millions of immigrants since 19th century. Modern labor market of Canada heavily relies on immigrants who have higher education and specific skills that are valuable for the market. The number of immigrants steadily grows: in 2017 Canada accepted 300,000 immigrants, while in 2020 it is projected to have nearly 340,000 immigrants. In its turn, immigration helps to balance the aging demographic situation. With growing number of immigrants, the job opportunities would grow as well, and at the same time it would also increase the wage rates for native Canadians. However, the growing gap between the wages of immigrants and Canadians, a lack of opportunities for immigrants to be hired on a senior or middle positions are concerning. For the new immigrants it creates a serious situation. In a new country, the immigrant could not find the job one studied for, having to find a low-skilled job in order to earn money.

Throughout this course, the focus has been on how Immigrants have been treated over the history of Canada and the phases in which events and settlements began. Abu-Laban states

Immigration laws have resulted in a situation where many Chinese immigrants live and work in Canada, but it is also an issue that has been blown out of proportion by the media and politicians. Chinese immigrants have cost Canadian’s job, and many resources set aside for the Canadian population. Due to the minor changes to laws, border restrictions, and the implementation of new laws, the Canadian government will be able to control the Chinese immigration population.

Canada is a big country and is built by the immigrants. However it always been a great issues from the seventeenth century boatloads to recent boatloads of Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka. Immigrants and their children were also against to the other refugees who belong to the other regions. Moreover, Canada birthrate was below to the replacement levels but they count on immigrations for the social welfare and economic growth. They are motivated for the work hard and to work at the level of Canadian natives. The immigrations system of Canada also support the educational professionals who often find difficulties in getting jobs. Many cities need labourers for

Canada is proud as a nation of a multicultural society, one-third of its population are born Canadians and the rest are immigrants (Mikkonen et al, 2010). Immigrants in Canada experience poor living conditions that are affecting their health and overall well-being of the Canadian population (Mikkonen et al, 2010).Researchers of Statistics Canada have identified low-income status as the factor affecting the health of immigrants in all education levels including university graduates, and various age categories (Mikkonen et al, 2010). A qualitative study conducted using 147 families in low-income areas of Montreal, Vancouver, and Toronto, highlights the struggle that immigrants experience in Canada’s labour market (Labonté et al, 2015). One of the main concern that the immigrants expressed in terms of their employment are the lack job security or insecurity and about half of them

Immigration has grown to become a big aspect in today’s society in Canada. Most cities have welcomed immigration, although mainly portrayed in bigger cities. Immigration in Canada has come with its share of pros as well as its share of cons. The pros with the immigration in Canada starts off with the racial blending of persons in the community, giving future generations a more positive outlook towards equality for all races because they grow up in a world that, for them, hasn’t seen racial and cultural inequality. In my opinion, in a world where children aren’t aware of the cultural and racial inequalities that had been put forth in the generations before them is an enormous strength to immigration for the fact that every person has a right to life and liberty and to have those ideas implanted in the generations to come is detrimental to a working society. Cons found in immigration in Canada fall in employment. The more people immigrate to Canada, the more jobs are being filled leaving others without any. The Immigration Refugee Board is able to offer a wide

There are various issues that revolve around Canadian politics. These issues can include various subjects, such as economics, multiculturalism, health care, immigration, and foreign policy. An important issue in Canada that is discussed in this essay is Canada’s constant changes to its immigration policy in order to improve its economic goals and the labour market. These issues are changing by different policies that the Canadian government are putting into place, which creates a more strict system in choosing who can immigrate into the country. Three articles that thoroughly analyze Canada’s immigration policy in order to implement these changes are the following. The first article is named: “New Directions in Immigration Policy: Canada’s

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

The quantity of individuals who are into Canada is consistently expanding as seen somewhere around 2001 and 2006, the quantity of remotely conceived individuals expanded by 13.6%, and by, 2006 Canada had developed to have 34 ethnic groups with no less than one hundred thousand individuals each, of which eleven have more than 1,000,000 individuals and various others are spoken to in littler sums. 16.2% of the populace self-distinguishes as a noticeable minority (Statistics Canada, 2011). This massive immigration has ensured that multiculturalism in Canada has never faced any threat of collapse. The Canadians know that the only way different cultures are going to strive in the country is by supporting legal immigration of people from various parts of the world into the country. By allowing the settlement of immigrants, multiculturalism in Canada was being
