Immigrants Affect Vancouver

This case study looks at the problems facing immigrant entrepreneurs in Canada and key recommendations to follow in order to succeed in starting a profitable company. Shu Guo, like 40,000 other immigrants, came to Canada seeking entrepreneurial opportunities, but many would fall short. Immigrant entrepreneurs in Canada find themselves falling to the same problems. These include a lack of start-up money, correct marketing to find customers, dealing with government regulations that they have a lack of knowledge about, language/culture barriers, and big chains with better resources.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton a British journalist, novelist and poet once said, “The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist see what he has come to see”, by saying this it is enforced that tourists come to Vancouver in order to take in the sights of nature that are around every corner and to delve into the many attractions that Vancouver has established with the sole purpose of attracting vacationers. With the appeal of vacationers there is an escalation in occupation spots and which will lead to a lower unemployment rate (Figure 1), although this is a positive aspect of increasing tourist population the negative effects are bountiful.

Ultimately, the impact of gentrification on the Downtown Eastside will be most felt by its current low-income residents. It is understood that the complexity of the issues found in the Downtown Eastside does not allow for an easy fix. The extent to which gentrification’s impacts have been and will be felt by those living in the area are and will be great, respectively. While gentrification may bring diversity to Vancouver, it is at the expense of the many disadvantaged residents of the Downtown Eastside who will be

Roberts claims that the different parts of a person’s identity, such as their work roles, background, hobbies, etc., are integrated in enriching ways. Immigrants in Canada can attest to this. Canada is a diverse country with a lot of immigrants coming in from different countries with different background and culture. Despite of this, immigrants contribute to the workforce in Canada and they can apply what they know, even though they are from different countries, to their work. The shortage of skilled workers in Canada is filled in by immigrants and their different opinions and views help business people make important decisions. The different characteristics and own experiences of people can help shape the work they do and having

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.)

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.

There are various of reasons why gentrification is good for downtown in Vancouver. Downtown in Vancouver was basically falling apart, the best thing for it is gentrification. Being one of the oldest neighborhoods around, I believe it needs change. In the background essay about Vancouver’s downtown in the DBQ (p. 161), it exclaims that “And like families and their members, cities and their neighborhoods change over time”, this is basically telling us that Vancouver’s downtown is used on experiencing “change”, and that it’s okay for a change due to people coming and going. Another reason why I believe gentrification is good is because the city could get rid of all the “druggies” living in the area. Yeah, you might say that it won’t work but I

When an earthquake destroyed the area in 1906, natives thought that they would be able to reclaim the area and kick the immigrants out. To their surprise, the old, run-down Chinatown was rebuilt in the exact same location but had an entirely different feel. The new Chinatown was bright, cheery, and characteristically oriental with “curved eaves, colorful street lanterns, recessed balconies, and gilded facades” (Bancroft). The new Chinatown brought to California exactly what it was intended to: more attraction, more people, and therefore more business. With filling the job spots that were difficult and grueling and then attracting tourism to California, the immigrants were now boosting our economy in more way than one.

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.

Health, a basic human rights an important factor for development. Though Women is most societies live longer than men because of biological and behavioural factors (WHO, 2009 p-xi) but WHO is worried that in some societies this factors are subdued by gender base discrimination 2009 report of WHO named “Women and Health stressed that the health needs of women and girls are different from men and are the needs are met far from the expected ones.

Immigration is of great economic and social benefit to Canada. It’s an important role in developing our economy, and it shapes the nation into a multicultural nation. Immigration is a significant role in building our economy, providing growth in the labor force, making a strong economy, and becoming a multicultural nation.

The population of the Vancouver metropolitan area is 2.5 million ("Vancouver Population 2016."). The growth rate of Vancouver has been increasing; the population went up by 200,000 from 2006 to 2011 ("Vancouver Population 2016."). As the growth rate goes up, it results in a rise in the birth rate as well. Vancouver is a very diverse area with many ethnic groups and cultures.The 3 main ethnic groups in Vancouver consist of Caucasian, South Asian Origins, and Southeast and east origins. Vancouver being diverse could attract many others to migrate. The majority of Vancouver's area is very dense which also leads to it being a clustered area due to the big population in a tight area, the densest

The level of immigrants coming to Canada should be increased because this way there won’t be any shortages in labour, new job opportunities will be opened up, and the economy will grow. Firstly, the levels of immigrants coming to Canada should be increased because there won't be any shortages in labour. There aren't enough skill trade labourers to get skill trade tasks completed, if Canada increases their immigrant level it enables Canada to bring in many different skill trade individuals. Company’s won’t have to shut down because there aren't enough labourers. In Addition, the level of immigrants coming to Canada should be increased because new job opportunities will be established. New immigrants will come to Canada and establish a variety

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

Beyond their labour and economic contributions, undocumented immigrants contribute to the ethnic and cultural diversity found in North America. With the highest percentage of foreign-born citizens of all G8 countries, Canada is known as a nation of diverse cultures, religions and languages. 2012 saw an influx
