The Pros And Cons Of Immigrants In Canada

In today’s society, a college degree has become a requirement in order to obtain a well occupied profession. Prior to the recession, which the study defines as the period between December 2007 and June 2009, bachelor's graduates were already more likely to be employed than were associate degree holders, who were more likely to be employed than those without any postsecondary degree. After the recession, employment of college graduates dropped 7 percent, while associate degree holders experienced an 11 percent drop, and employment of high school graduates fell 16 percent. The percent of people excluded from the workforce, meaning they were seeking work but couldn’t find it, rose 31 percent for college graduates, 37 percent for high school graduates, and 50 percent for associate degree graduates, though associate degree holders were still excluded at a lower rate than high school graduates (Tilsley, 2013).

In the discussion of immigrants living in America, one controversial issue has been whether immigrants living in America have equal opportunities as American citizen do. On the one hand, some people believe that the federal government should be of more assistance to these newcomers by improving there aid programs such as Social Security and Medical. On the other hand, some say that immigrants should not have the same opportunities as others do because they come from another country and they were not born in America. Both undocumented immigrants and those with documents struggle when they come to the United States; because they have low education levels, (health concern) hardly get help from any federal programs, are affected by the fact they

This paper exposes the urgency to implement an immigration reform that would eliminate educational and occupational barriers to millions of undocumented students that want to pursue a postsecondary education. The information in this research examines the impact undocumented students may have in society and the economy of this country. There are thousands of undocumented students that graduate high school every year and have no opportunities to pursue a higher education degree, thus increasing the chances of poverty in this country, increase in unemployment and a serious negative shift in the economy. Given the increase role

Outside the sirens are singing and someone’s parents are taken away from their family because they are not a citizen, they didn’t do anything wrong they just weren’t citizens in the country. Not every immigrant is the same, everyone is different and they all have different opinions. Immigrants are helping out their family like every other family would and they aren’t just the only people who do wrong choices so do others. Some American’s can’t accept them in their country and say immigrants are taking their jobs. Imagine having children born in the country with foreign parents and they have to be deported with their kids waiting to be adopted by “parents with better lives.” Immigrants are like everyone else, they risk themselves but they don’t

Mexicans are hard workers and often work for less pay than Americans are willing to accept. There are approximately 8 million illegal immigrants working in the United States. Mexicans are usually are employed in construction, natural resources, maintenance, production, transportation, farming, and moving material jobs. On average, an immigrant has a household income of approximately $37,390 compared to a natural born citizen’s average household income of $54,565. Many immigrants work harder than Americans and receive less pay. Hiring Mexicans can save American employers due to the fact they do not have to pay higher wages and do not have to provide benefits. Because two-thirds of Mexican immigrants do not have a high school education, American employers do not pay them the same

Imagine this. You’re rapidly fleeing your home country, sprinting as your life depended on it, which it did. The memories of the terrible war, still pounding in your head. The piercing roar of the gunshots. The gruesome red blood, glistening in the sunlight. You need to go, go to a free country, a land where everything is safe and sound, and not demolished like your home. You need to go, you need to leave Syria.

Economy” published August 12,2014 on the Economic Policy Institute argues the effects that Unauthorized Migrant workers have on the U.S economy and workforce. The author guides his article in a question answer format to answer several questions about the topic. Costa’s purpose in writing the web article was to clear up some misconceptions about fundamental aspects of this topic. He writes this article to the Economic Policy Institute’s audience to answer questions about the effects mexican migrant have on the economy. To supports this he writes, “One way to quantify immigrants’ contribution to the U.S. economy is to look at the wages and salaries they earn, as well as the income of immigrant-owned businesses, as a share of all wages, salaries, and business income in the United States”(Costa). By giving several ways that mexican immigrants have on the economy it gives people a better understanding of the positive and negative effects that they have. Whether those effects are positive or negative they are having an effect.

This also reported that the average immigrant contributes around $120,000 more in taxes than what they consume in public services. David Card of the University of California discovered that “immigration yields a 5% increase in overall wage quality” (Manhattan Institute). Immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants, tend to be employed in low-skilled, labor-intensive careers. The notion that migrant workers “steal” jobs from honest, hard working Americans is rapidly being disproved; an American Community Survey done in 2013 revealed that the top two jobs for immigrant workers without high school diplomas were positions as maids and housecleaners, with line cooks coming in a close second. However, the top two occupations for native workers were cashiers and truck drivers (Tanvi Misra, City Lab). The results are clear: undocumented immigrants and native born workers are not competing for the same jobs. These positions need to be occupied, and more often than not it is immigrants who fulfill them; they do not just stabilize the economy, they are actually proven to enhance it.

Many of the Economic research papers focus on the impact of Immigration on the United States Labor Market Wages. The laws of supply and demand imply that, “as immigrants increase the supply of a particular type of labor (such as low-educated workers), the wages paid to that group falls.” (Borjas April 2004) “Because

Educational attainment is strongly connected with the children of immigrant’s success (Brown, 1997). In order to integrate successfully into the new society, newcomer youth indicated a strong interest in taking advantage of educational opportunities (Brown, 1997). The strong desire to belong to their new society was evidenced by the fact that the majority of youth wanted to take advantage of the educational opportunities offered in Canada (Anisef & Kilbride, 2003). Indeed, education was believed to be the single most important element that would determine a person’s success in Canada. Immigrant youth strongly believed that those who do not have an education are less likely to obtain a job because employers look for employees with a good education

The latest report published by the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) revealed that the number of international graduates immigrating to Canada through the Express Entry program has increased significantly last year.

“I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I found out three things. First, the streets weren’t paved with gold; second, they weren’t paved at all: and third, I was expected to pave them” an old Italian immigrant once said. Immigrants faced many obstacles coming to America such as finding work, finding a place to live, acclimating to their new surroundings and learning to communicate. When immigrants came to America, they expected their life to become better and have an easier life.

In “Immigrants and Canadians, Maintaining Both Identities” by Andrew Cohen, which is part of a segment in the New York Times called “How Immigrants Come to Be Seen as Americans,” Cohen states that Canada is “…unlike virtually every country in Europe, we have no nativist party or institutional xenophobia,” and dubs Canada as a Mosaic of Multiculturalism. Why is this so, and how might the perspective that ‘Canada equals a mosaic’ play a role in this surprising phenomenon?

Imagine Canada without immigrants? Without having they wonderful multiculturalism that immigrants bring into Canada we wouldn't be the diversite country we are now. In my essay I am going to talk about how Canada benefits from immigration. I’m going to be talking about the positive and negative of these three classes: Economic class, Family class and the refugee class. This is how the fantastic country of Canada benefits from the three classes of immigrants.

Even if an alumnus earns a degree, the next challenge is to get hired at his desired job. These points are not just expressed once in the article. More distinctions are given along with graphs to show educational earnings based on an individual’s
