INDIANS SHIFTING TO CANADA.. BY- SEHEJ BHASIN 9B

Many Indians in the 20th century started shifting to Canada, mostly the Sikh’s from the northern India did. There are various reasons for Indians to shift to Canada some of them are- Job opportunities, university, work transfer and various other reasons. Indo Canadians are found in almost in every city of Canada mostly found in Ontario and Toronto. Indo Canadians are the third largest non European immigrants in Canada. Many people Indians are English speaking which makes it easier for them to communicate and they are good at various fields starting from politics to sports.

As Canada is a well developed place in front of India, Indians shift to Canada for higher standards of living and higher wages. They will have many job options in Canada than they will get in India and the people will do what they love and will earn money easily also there will be no family business pressure. The immigrants will have a better lifestyle and shelter. Their living environment would be much more better.
There will be labor demand because all developed countries need people who are low skilled which will help them support their growing economy as in developed countries there are very less people working in the primary sector and secondary sector. There will be Political and Religious freedom as there will be less discrimination and people can follow their religions as the government accepts that. Some of the push factors for Canada are; Crop failures, More natural disasters like- cyclones, tornados and earthquakes and high taxes.

The push factors of India are many.
Economic problems like lack of jobs and most of the people work in the primary sector and they don’t earn a lot of money. Half of the population migrates because they want more job opportunities. Social problems like caste systems, discriminate various religions is one of the main reasons for Indians to migrate. Environmental problems like pollution, deforestation and killing of wild life and natural disasters too. People also shift because of the terrorist attacks which frequently take place in India. A few more reasons are- Diseases, Poverty, illiteracy and lack of education service. Even though, there are so many push factors of India there are a few pull factors too like; People coming from foreign will have more job opportunities because of the high education they have received most of them can work in the tertiary or secondary sector, More wealth and they will have a good trade for
spices..

Migration can cause a huge impact on the population. Negative impacts on India would be- There will be less population, less service will be provided, less skilled workers, less educated people because only people with high education will shift, division of families, elderly population remains because only the young people would migrate and this would cause more death rate. There are a few advantages of India too like; few people who need to be fed and sheltered and reduces job pressures. Whereas, for Canada they will have cheap labor, have more labors, more high skilled workers and there will be cultural diversity. There would be a few disadvantages like; language problems, racial problems, pressure on housing and services, more healthcare will be needed to be provide.
