Walker EW SUBJECTS ARE AS CONTENTIOUS as immigration policy. The range Fof opinions literally covers all of the possibilities from completely open borders on the one hand to completely closed borders on the other. To some extent, the range of opinion reflects variation amongst people in the kind of society in which they would like to live. Some prefer the polyglot, richly textured cultural experience that open borders would produce. Others seek to preserve their own traditions and regard the di- lution of tradional ethnic mixes as a threat rather than an opportunity. These preferences, whether in favour of tighter or looser immigration criteria, are not something which can be subjected to scientific analysis. Hence, this book does not consider them. On the other hand, some of the variation in opinion is due to a dif- ferent perception about the facts. People with essentially the same pref- erences can disagree about the correct policy course because they have access to different information about the impact of immigration. The analysis provided in this book suggests that the facts are changing in the sense that historical experience and projected experience with immigra- tion are likely to be different. The purpose of this book is to provide a broad base of information for the consideration of those who are con- cerned about the immigration question in the hope that a reliable and comprehensive source of facts may produce convergence of opinion www.fraserinstitute.org viii about the ideal immigration policy. It considers the economic, social, le- gal and historical aspects of immigration and a range of professional as- sessment about what should be concluded on the basis of these facts. This is a timely book in that Canada is in the process of changing its immigration policy. The Fraser Institute has been pleased to sponsor the research and to make the independent examination of a tough public policy issue possible. However, because the authors and their editor have worked independently the views expressed are those of the au- thors and may or may not conform to those of the members and Trustees of the Fraser Institute. www.fraserinstitute.org About the Authors Roderic Beaujot Roderic Beaujot is Professor of Sociology and former director of the Population Studies Centre at the University of Western Ontario.

The change in constructions of official Canadian identity was due to pressures from an ongoing dialogue in Canadian society that reflected the larger geo-political shifts taking place during the period. This dialogue helped shape the political discussion, from one focused on maintaining an out-dated national identity to one that was more representative of how many Canadians understood Canada to be. This change in political opinion accordingly transformed the official identity of the nation-state of Canada. Les années 1960 ont été une période tumultueuse qui a fait passer l'identité officielle canadienne d'une identité essentiellement britannique à une identité reflétant la diversité du 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.

  • Canadian Bilingualism, Multiculturalism and Neo- Liberal Imperatives
    Scholars Speak Out December 2016 Canadian Bilingualism, Multiculturalism and Neo- Liberal Imperatives By Douglas Fleming, University of Ottawa Canadian second language and immigration policies have often been held up as positive models for Americans on both the right and the left. In particular, both the “English Only” and the “English Plus” movements in the United States have claimed that French Immersion programming in Canada support their own positions (Crawford, 1992; King, 1997). However, in this piece I argue that Canadian immigration and language policies are closely intertwined and have been carefully calculated to subsume linguistic and cultural diversity under what Young (1987) once characterized as a form of “patriarchal Englishness against and under which… all others are subordinated” (pp.10-11). These policies have served neo-liberal economic imperatives and have helped perpetuate inequalities. In fact, I am of the opinion that they are not incompatible with empire building. Bilingualism and Multiculturalism Canada is a nation in which French is the first language for 22% of the total population of 36 million. English is the first language for 59%. The remaining 19% speak a third language as their mother tongue. The size of this third language grouping (the so-called Allophones) is due mainly to immigration (the highest rate in the G8 industrialized nations), self- reported visible minority status (19%) and the relatively high numbers of first nation peoples (4.5%). According to the last census, 17.5 % of the total population is now bilingual and 26.5% born outside of the country. It is a highly diverse population (all figures, Statistics Canada, 2016).

  • “Anglo-Conformity”: Assimilation Policy in Canada, 1890S–1950S1
    Jatinder Mann “Anglo-Conformity”: Assimilation Policy in Canada, 1890s–1950s1 Abstract In the late nineteenth century Canada started to receive large waves of non- British migrants for the very first time in its history. These new settlers arrived in a country that saw itself very much as a British society. English-speaking Canadians considered themselves a core part of a worldwide British race. French Canadians, however, were obviously excluded from this ethnic identity. The maintenance of the country as a white society was also an integral part of English-speaking Canada’s national identity. Thus, white non-British migrants were required to assimilate into this English-speaking Canadian or Anglocen- tric society without delay. But in the early 1950s the British identity of English- speaking Canada began to decline ever so slowly. The first steps toward the gradual breakdown of the White Canada policy also occurred at this time. This had a corresponding weakening effect on the assimilation policy adopted toward non-British migrants, which was based on Anglo-conformity. Résumé À la fin du 19e siècle, pour la première fois de son histoire, le Canada commençait à accueillir des vagues importantes d’immigrants non britanni- ques. Ces nouveaux arrivants entraient dans un pays qui se percevait en grande partie comme une société britannique. Les anglophones canadiens se con- sidéraient en effet comme une composante centrale de la « race » britannique mondiale. Les francophones, en revanche, étaient de toute évidence exclus de cette identité ethnique. Par ailleurs, une autre composante essentielle de l’identité nationale canadienne anglophone était la pérennité du pays en tant que société blanche.

  • 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.
