Syrian Refugees Research Paper

Opening/Attention; Are refugee and immigrants beneficial to the economy of Canada? I am sure that everyone would share biased opinions on it. According to me there are benefits for both the sides. Economically, immigrants contribute to our economy. Canada resettles refugees to save lives and provide stability to those who are in need.

Spoken Link/Transition: Here would like to share my own story.
Emotion/Story: As being in Canada for more than four years. I would like to elaborate on my personal experience as immigrant. When I planned to leave my country. The question which I had crossed my mind was, how would I adapt the country, cultural and language. But after coming in here I started to adopt every single thing which came on my way
and I succeed my expectation. Being as immigrant I have also had lots of challenges and barrier that I had to cross. I need to get “Canadian experience” which I thought was unusual. After everything that I went through now I think it’s worth the time and finally I am proud to be a Canadian citizen which makes me love my country. Furthermore, being a citizen I gain lots of benefit in my studies like OSAP and health benefit which I never had in India. Which makes me feel secure and protected in every path. Coming to Canada does really makes a difference which helps a lot of people like immigrant like me and refugee who are in need of protection through every difficulty that that have in their life.

Spoken Link/Transition. Being in Canada have made me feel like India due to its multi-cultured, multi-language and multi-nationality.

So what I'm excited about ... is who in that class of refugees will be the next Nova Scotia success story for the next 30 years?"
2. According to Ryerson University professor Morton Beiser’s 1999 book “Strangers at the Gate,” the Vietnamese boat people arrived with little English or French, no assets and inappropriate job skills for Canada’s economy.
But within a decade of their arrival, the former boat people had an unemployment rate 2.3 percentage points lower than Canada as a whole, and relied less heavily on social assistance than the general population. One in five had started their own business.
3. As per our honourable prime minister Justin turdeau he says that- “This is a significant step in fulfilling our plan to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada in the coming months. It also demonstrates our commitment to refugee resettlement, which is part of Canada’s proud humanitarian
tradition.
