Canadian Immigration
To Immigrate Or Not To Immigrate “Canada could not help the world by taking more immigrants, and could only destroy its own way of life in attempting to do so.” “...it would have to reduce immigration” Immigration is the movement of people or peoples from one country to another. There are many different reasons to immigrate such as seeking safety from war or prosecution in your country, better job opportunities, or to reconnect with family members. The source suggests that the increase immigration coming to Canada is causing us to lose our identity of what makes us Canadian. The source is against immigration and feels that it is destroying our way of life. Some people would say the source is 100% correct. There are thousands of immigrants coming to Canada every year and the major cities that these immigrants are going to can’t provide homes fast enough to meet their needs for housing. With all the different cultures that are coming to Canada it would break us apart, force us away from one another because we don’t believe in the same religion or have different visions of what’s right and wrong. Of course not everyone would agree with the source of this topic. They might point out how all these different ethnic groups bring more diversity to Canada and introduce us to new ideas or ways of thinking. These immigrants are also the only way to keep Canada from loosing population as the rate of deaths and births in Canada grow increasingly closer. Many people would look at this and see many points that are both correct and incorrect. They might say that of course Canada needs to keep bringing in immigrants but we have to make better accommodations for housing before they bring them in. I personally feel that the source is incorrect and we need immigration. As with most 1st world countries Canada's citizens are having fewer and fewer kids. The death rate

    Immigration has had a strong effect on Canada’s historical development, from countryside in the early part of the 20th century to the building of Canada’s largest cities. Immigration itself has changed greatly during the 19th and 20th centuries and continues to do so. During the first sixty years of the 20th century, the majority of immigrants to Canada came either from Europe or the United States. This has since changed much with entry based on a points system and the introduction of human’s benefit.…

    Immigration is a major component in Canadian history. It makes Canada the diverse, multicultural and welcoming country it is today. Although it was not always this way, throughout the 20th century Canadian immigration took many turns, some for good and others not so much. Canada stood with mostly unrestricted immigrations laws in the beginning of the 20th century besides the Chinese Head Tax that was put in place in British Columbia. It was raised to $100 in 1900 and $500 in 1903.…

    Canada’s topography is spectacular, you can go from oceans to lakes and from deserts to rainforests all in a day's drive, or drive across this vast nation and experience waves surging onto shore, fields of wheat dancing in the wind, cobble stone roads where Canada's first settlers had a dream for a new nation, and cliffs looking out onto what seems an endless sea. The beauty of my country makes me proud. Canada is the least racist country in the world, in my opinion. Ethnic backgrounds are mixed which makes Canada hard to define. Every culture has their own unique qualities and strengths; in Canada their qualities have merged to become one. This new nationality created from blended backgrounds is Canadian. In other countries a lot of people don’t accept ethnic minorities. In Canada, we treasure the various cultures that reside here. The more ethnic background we incorporate into our society the richer we will…

    Diversity and immigration have played a major role in Canada’s past, present and future, creating global strength and unity. Canada has become very well known for being a multicultural nation made up of many ethnicities, however this did not exist up until the second World War (WWII). It was during that period of time that the world realized how devastating discrimination can be and how important it is to be accepting of all races. Previously, Canada also showed discrimination against its immigrants through very selective processes and expensive duties. For example, the Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 posed certain restrictions on the Chinese immigrants. Very few were accepted and those that were had to pay a high head tax, reaching up to $500…

    Canada is a nation built on immigration. While for many years, most immigrants were from European countries, the recent waves of immigration often include immigrants from South Asian, sub-Saharan and middle eastern countries. These recent immigrants do not have the same experience than the French, the Irish or the Italian earlier in the twentieth century. The reason for this is that they have a much different culture. In fact, integration is ‘easier’ in a western country is easier when one is christian and caucasian for instance. However, many recent immigrants are muslims, and are non-caucasian. These immigrants and refugees also often come from traditional societies. As a consequence, they come from societies where norms, values and gender…

    Canada is one of the first countries that is known to adopt multiculturalism as their official policy. By doing so, Canada affirmed the value and dignity of all Canadian citizens, regardless of their race, ethnicity, culture, or religious affiliation. Multiculturalism has led Canada to higher rates of naturalization than ever before. With no pressure to assimilate and to give up their culture, immigrants freely choose their new citizenship. As a result of substantial amount of immigrants over decades there has been a growth to the recreation of subcultures. According to statistics of Canada, the country’s Japanese population is growing faster (citation). The majority of the population is centred in British Columbia (43%), Ontario (34%), Alberta…

    “I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr. Throughout the history of Canada there has always been an intolerance towards immigrants, There is a dream some people had for a utopian country, a country the is no longer defined by the color of your skin, the ways you act , the things you do or your beliefs, This dream of some people has still not been reached and most likely never will be, but Canada has greatly changed in many ways since 1914.the biggest problem is that most people do not realize that “Achievement has no color” ~ Abraham…
