This is Michaëlle Jean, a Francophone originally from Haiti, appointed governor general of Canada in 2005. Immigration can affect the identity of people who come to Canada and of people who already live here, including groups in Canada with collective rights. Immigration creates a mix of cultures, where people need to learn each other’s beliefs, values and worldviews. This photo shows a refugee camp in north Darfur, Sudan. Conflict in Sudan made the people in this camp flee their homes. Canada has obligations to shelter people who need to escape war and other dangers. Immigration policy needs to take into account the security, health and quality of life of people who already live in Canada. 163 Issues for Canadians Chapter 5 Create a storyboard about issues concerning immigration in Canada.

  • Canada's Immigration Policy, 1945 - 1962
    G. A. Rawlyk CANADA'S IMMIGRATION POLICY, 1945 - 1962 IT CAN BE EFFECTIVELY ARGUED that the primary concern of any nation is to ensure its own survival. For Canada, the desire to survive as a viable political entity, inde­ pendent of the powerful republic to the south, and to make actual the tremendous physical potential of the country, has forced the federal government to be particu­ larly concerned with immigration and immigration policy. However, because of periods of serious unemployment and because the Canadian people on the whole, in W. L. Mackenzie King's famous words, "do not wish as a result of mass immi­ gration to make a fundamental alteration in the character of our population"'! the Canadian government from 1945 to 1962 has carefully pursued a relatively flexible policy of restricted immigration. As would be expected, when there was considerable unemployment, as in 1955, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960 and 196I,2 the immigration authorities, by reducing the number of immigrant visas granted, placed a severe check on the flow of immi­ grants. It is interesting to note that, with only one exception (1957), whenever the yearly average of the percentage of labour force unemployed climbed to over 4 per cent, the following year witnessed a sharp decline in the number of immigrants.s But when there was a demand for workers, the authorities quickly removed many of the temporary restrictive barriers. During these years, all too infrequent in the last decade, the absence of restrictions made one member of Parliament remark, "If you put pants on a penguin, it could be admitted to this country."4 In spite of the evident great need for a much larger population, it would be irresponsible for any government in Ottawa to fly in the face of the opposition of the majority of Canadians by adopting a policy of unrestricted immigration.5 D.

  • Personal Meaning Among Indocanadians and South Asians
    Meaning and Satisfaction-India 1 Personal meaning among Indocanadians and South Asians Bonnie Kalkman, MA, 2003 Paul T. P. Wong, Ph.D. Meaning and Satisfaction-India 2 ABSTRACT This study extends Wong’s (1998) Personal Meaning Profile research on the sources and measurement of life meaning. An open-ended questionnaire was administered to an East Indian sample in India. From the 68 subjects ranging in age from 20 to 69, statements were gathered as to the possible sources of meaning in life. These statements were then analyzed according to their content and the 39 derived sources of meaning were added to Wong’s PMP to become the Modified PMP-India with a total of 96 items. In Study 2, the Modified PMP-India was then administered along with the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS; Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) to East Indian subjects, 58 from India and 58 from Canada. When factor analysis was unsuccessful, content analysis was applied and this resulted in 10 factors: 1) Achievement, 2) Altruism and Self-Transcendence, 3) General Relationships, 4) Religion, 5) Intimate Relationships, 6) Affirmation of Meaning and Purpose in Life, 7) Morality, 8) Relationship with Nature, 9) Fair Treatment, and 10) Self-Acceptance. The Indo-Canadian subjects reported higher mean levels of life satisfaction, and higher mean levels for the factors: Intimate Relationships, General Relationships, Morality, and Fair Treatment. Females reported higher mean levels for the factors Intimate Relationships and Religion. Overall meaning correlated moderately with overall life satisfaction.

  • Immigrate to Canada Under Quebec Program
    Immigrate to Canada under Quebec program Abhinav Outsourcings Pvt. Ltd. | www.abhinav.com Settle in Quebec Canada Immigration and Canadian Permanent Residence Visa- Important Notice Starting July 1st 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has temporarily stopped accepting any new applications under the Federal Skilled worker program (FSWP), the Federal Investor program and the Federal entrepreneur program. CIC will start accepting new applications again in early 2013 as per new revised selection criteria, expected to be announced late 2012 or early 2013. Please note that applicants with arranged employment opinion or a qualifying job offer or PhD criteria may continue to file their applications. In addition, applicants under provincial nominee programs for businessmen and investors will continue to be accepted. Those willing to learn French language and if qualified under training factor, can also file under the Quebec skilled worker program and Immigrate to Canada! Our advice Immigration options worldwide are getting limited and restrictive. More importantly, all options – irrespective of the country - are quota based and one would do well to keep the file ready for filing. For Canada FSW, business and investor applications, meeting all documentation requirements can take around 3-4 months and hence, it makes sense to start your documentation process now so as to be ready for filing the application when new selection criteria is announced in early 2013 by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). Do NOT hold on to file preparation till new announcement is made! Because if qualified, those who are ready with file and required documents will have an edge over others and will thus be able to file the application before quota gets over.

  • Canada's Immigration Trends and Patterns
    Canadian Studies in Population 43, no. 1–2 (2016): 78–116. Canada’s immigration trends and patterns Barry Edmonston1 Abstract Canada was settled by immigrants, including Aboriginal peoples who arrived thousands of years ago, French and British settlers who first began arriving in the 1600s, and people from many other nations who have migrated in the past four centuries. Now, almost 150 years since the Confederation of Canada in 1867, immigrants numbered 6.8 million and comprised 20 per cent of the total population in 2011. Canada’s population has completed the demographic transition from high mortality and fertility to relatively low vital rates, accompanied by continued, fluctuating international migration. Canada’s population reflects this fertility and mortality history, as well as the effects of international migration. Immigration has increased in significance in recent decades as one of the key factors influencing population change. This paper examines Canada’s trends and patterns in international migration. Keywords: Immigration history, Canada, population change, emigration. Résumé Le Canada fut colonisé par des immigrants, y compris les Autochtones qui arrivèrent il y a des milliers d’années, les colons français et britanniques dès les années 1600 et les peuples de beaucoup d’autres nations qui migrèrent au cours des quatre derniers siècles. De nos jours, presque 150 ans après la fédération canadienne de 1867, le pays accueillit 6,8 millions d’immigrants qui représentèrent 20 pour cent de la population totale en 2011. La population canadienne compléta la transition démographique, allant d’une mortalité et fertilité élevée à des indices vitaux relativement bas, mais toujours accompagnés d’une migration internationale continue et fluctuante.
