What impact might the return of almost 10% of the Canadian population to Canada and civilian life have on Canada, both socially and economically?…
Second, other key impact of globalization is the free movement of labor. In a globalized world, workers can more easily move from one country to another to market their skills to employers and contribute to the economy. As some Canadian entrepreneurs with the purpose of domestic business to grow, those companies have to capitalize on efficiency except looking outside the company as off-shoring, yet sometimes recruit foreign workers. Temporary migration is used strategically for national and regional economic development in Canada. Canada is flexibility to attract highly skilled migrants and to fill low-paid labour market niches in recent years. Attracting and retaining highly skilled workers and wealthy entrepreneurs and provide low-wage labour…
The new wave of immigrants setting foot in Canada are mainly comprised of economic class (65% of all immigrants in 2014), who are classified as highly educated and skilled (StatsCan, 2014). Of the 260,000 immigrants who arrived in Canada in 2014, 50% of originate from Asian countries – Philippines, India, and China respectively are the largest source countries, and 60% settle in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. (StatsCan). As aforementioned, this poses both great opportunities and challenges for the three largest Canadian municipalities. However, the suburbs which surround the cities have actually absorbed a significant proportion of the population growth (Li’s second book, 200). Recent and…
One of the major aspects of being a Canadian citizen is to be entitled to your freedom. Therefore, I would like to explain to you the right to practice any religion you support or no religion at all. To clarify, freedom of religion is the manner in your personal life where you are free to practice any religion you like. You are welcome to choose if you want to be a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist Hindu or no religion at all you are free to do so. Having the opportunity to choose whether to believe in a religion or not is important to gain the respect we have towards other people. As long as we do not abuse the valid laws which protect the rights and freedoms of others, we are able to live peacefully. Our Canadian government is a great supporter of people's religions due to the fact that there are no state-sponsored religions. They are not allowed to prefer some religious beliefs or groups over others. As a result, the Canadian government is open towards all the religions and do not discriminate their choices. Regardless of what you believe or practice, protecting freedom of religion is a critical part of ensuring that all people are treated with dignity and respect.…
This paper explores how employment discrimination happens among Immigrant Skilled Workers in Canada, their integration into the Canadian system and culture, and the Point Based Assessment (PBA) system that determines their eligibility to immigrate to Canada, as a Permanent Resident. It also examines the issues and challenges this population experience from Canadian employers after their arrival, which includes employers questioning their credentials achieved in foreign countries different from Canada, language barriers, lack of Canadian job experience and not enough education/training. It further illustrates the populations and ethnicity that the issues and challenges mostly affects, such as the lone-parent families or two parent families with…
Since workers were needed for the Canadian Pacific Railway, about 15,000 Chinese immigrants came over and helped with the railway in 1885 (8). In spite of their contributions, they were only paid half the amount the white people were (9). Sadly, when the railroad and the cheap labour was completed the government no longer needed them and the Chinese had received a crazy amount of backlash (9). Not only were the jobs impossible, the Chinese were the only race who had to pay a fee to enter Canada (1). For every Chinese child, parent and relative had to pay extreme taxes to enter Canada (10).…
Temporary migrant worker, also known as foreign worker (TFW), programs are employed by virtually every country, and there are varying degrees of effectiveness in regards to the enforcement of human rights, economic development and consideration of the domestic workforce. Foreign workers, defined as “workers...employed in a country other than their own” (ILO, 1999, p. 1), face challenges such as lack of worker mobility and worker exploitation. According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), Canada’s program “allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary labour and skill shortages when qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are not…
Additionally, during the postwar period Canada was faced with an economic boom leading to a growing labor market and hence a large demand for workers. Immigrants were the remedy to Canada’s need for labourers. In 1944 there was an annual of 12000 immigrating to Canada where as in 1957 there was an annual of 282,000 immigrating to Canada. Many of these people went to Ontario, Quebec, or British Columbia. Canada’s postwar prosperity continued on as it did due to the contributing effects of immigrants as well as from the lasting investments that were funded by these new…
In the article, “Immigration Watch Canada” the writer portrays the acceptance of immigrants average, of being more than 250,000 per year since 1990, “has obviously been destructive and senseless”. Canada…

For example, an individual from the lower class may not be able to afford healthcare or the medications they are prescribed. Also, individuals of the lower class work labour jobs which pay minimal dollars and usually do not provide any employment benefits. Therefore, the chances of their family eating unhealthy foods are high, thus making them more probable to illnesses. Although Canada’s Medicare system is well-known for providing access to excellent healthcare, medications are not covered. Therefore, in Canada, the poor have access to healthcare but getting the prescribed medication may become troublesome. On the other hand, individuals from the higher class have no trouble in affording health care or prescriptions. As well, the quality of healthcare that is provided may not be the greatest, and therefore, the society’s performance will be affected significantly as a lot of people may become ill and remain sick for some…
Canada’s labour market is segmented, fractured or divided in many ways. The net result is that certain groups such as women, visible minorities, and youth are more likely to be concentrated in the poorer quality jobs, sometimes referred to as poor quality jobs, sometimes referred to as secondary labour market. Labour market…
The Chinese were a minority and had no right to vote. Neither would a handful of resentful Chinese merchants truly endanger the Canadian markets. Hence they held little political or economic sway. After the completion of the CP Railway, it was clear that the Canadian government representing the local white populace, wanted to encourage the Chinese to leave or immigrate slower. In 1885, the Chinese Immigration Act was pushed through Parliament and the Head Tax on Chinese immigrants was increased to $50, up from $10 a year earlier on. This was subsequently increased to $100 in 1901 and even $500 in 1904. It was estimated that a total of $24 million Head Tax was paid out by the Chinese around this time (Chang 1984, pp.26-28). The Head Tax had slowed down Chinese immigration but they were still coming into Canada even if they needed to borrow or pool money together. Although this had restricted the early Chinese settlements (a great deal consisting of working men), from bringing its inhabitants’…
