TOPIC: PROS AND CONS OF MIGRATION, MOBILITY, AND CULTURE IN CANADA http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/05/18/marni-soupcoff-canada-talks-the-diversity-talk-but- the-u-s-walks-the-diversity-walk/

In this essay I will be providing some information about the pros and cons of migration, mobility, and

culture in Canada.

Migration by definition is to “move from one place to another with the purpose of settlement and

improvement of living standards.”

People migrate due to push and pull factors. Push factors include natural disasters, Political violence,

poverty and pull factors include Safety, Economic opportunity, and reuniting family.

According to this definition, Canada (as a whole) complies with it as its living standards are high

compared to other countries. People migrate to Canada because they know their living standards will

improve for them and their family. For people to migrate to Canada they also have to consider starting

their jobs from a minimum wage. The minimum wage for Canada ranges from $9 – $10.50 which

once again is relatively high compared to U.S.A, Canada’s neighbor, which starts from about $7-$10.

Inevitably, everyone who migrates to Canada from third world countries (without American experience)

start from minimum wage so that plays an important factor to dictate where to live. The reason for that

being is because people who migrate from third world countries generally don’t have any American-
Experience which unfortunately causes a barrier between the two. These barriers cause a huge deficit

(more than -$50M) for the Canadian economy. Immigrants who are certified Doctors, engineers,

teachers etc…, are rejected by Canada since they lack experience and forced to employ themselves w...

All these wonderful services in Canada come for a price which some may consider a lot of just

okay. That price is taxes. The taxes in Canada are higher compared to U.S and that is a con. As a result

the overall prices of houses and expenses are increased due to that.

As a conclusion, Canada is a good country. It has many bonuses in terms of services and all in all its

better than the U.S. Although I said there is little difference between the two the purpose is not to

compare. Canada has some major barriers in common with other countries, but it doesn’t have a

relatively major barrier in and of itself (the country). vcvv

    When we look at the history of women’s paid employment in Canada, we can see that society has come a long way. Previously, women’s work was in the home, in the private sphere. Her work consisted of taking care uniquely of the home and the children. Rarely, would we see women working for a wage expect for poor women; only because, their families needed the income. Mainly, the only jobs that were available for women were domestic service, a job that relates to the private sphere of the home. People believed that if a woman had paid employment, she was taking away a paycheck from a man, or she would become too manly.

Another ideal method highlighted includes introducing a new policy to reduce the lengthy period in which immigrants spend in upgrading their education to be equivalent to Canadian standards. Overall, I highly recommend that the first measure which involves implementing a Social Democratic approach would be ideal in addressing this issue. The reason being is that with this approach, the government would be responsible for implementing new regulations for immigration in Canada that will accompany new policies to ensure that all people are treated with equality and justice. There will be a more humanitarian and egalitarian policies to guide immigration in Canada, which will in turn make it easier for immigrants to participate in the Canadian labour market.

  • The Importance Of Humanitarianism In Canada

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    Canada had not always been a loving and accepting country. In the 20th century, Canada had committed countless acts of racism, hatred, and discrimination towards people who lived in the country. Yet over the years, Canada has evolved from this status and has proven its humanitarianism by fulfilling many acts of greatness. Humanitarian countries have earned this title by altering the conditions of a person by improving lifestyles, helping, and sharing general concern for the common man. Canada showed this trait by firstly making numerous peacekeeping acts to benefit others and themselves. Secondly, Canada has continued to better the lives of its residents by giving multiple benefits to those who are citizens. And lastly, Canada is one of the most culturally diverse nations and will accept all, based on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. No matter the cruelty Canada has shown in its past, the efforts it has made to redeem itself is more than anyone can ever overlook. Canada’s acts even today continue to show its ability to be a humanitarian nation.

  • Migration And Canadian Immigration Policy

    3061 Words  | 7 Pages

    Migration has been a major part of human living and also animals, people migrate for various reasons such as seeking better lives, family, job opportunity, availability of social amenities etc. immigration policies were put in place to monitor and decide who immigrate to a country and these policies have been present since 1906, and these polices have had different reasons for their enactment and these reasons change as time and era changes (Baglay, 2014). The early policies were racially based restriction, economic growth, multiculturalism, restriction on refugee and economic immigration (Baglay, 2014). The Communitarian approach used by Michael Walzer to explain immigration policy is similar to Canadian immigration policy. This paper seeks to discuss and analyze the articles by Joseph Carens and Michael Walzer, explaining the different perspectives of explaining immigration policies. The paper would summarize and contrast the author’s main arguments. It would take a stand on which argument is more persuasive in explaining immigration policy and give reason for this position. It would also use other articles to support or refute each argument made by Joseph Carens and Michael Walzer. Lastly this paper would explain and come to a conclusion of if any of these arguments apply to Canadian immigration policy and give examples of these similarities. Carens and Walzer had very different view on immigration and open border, Carens used the Liberal perspective of explaining open border.

  • Canada And Canada's Identity

    The culture of Canada refers to the shared values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs that are a representative of Canada and Canadians throughout Canada's history, its culture has been influenced by American culture because of a shared language, proximity, television and migration between the two countries. Overtime, Canadian-American relations have helped develop Canada’s identity during the years 1945-1982; thus introducing changing social norms , media and entertainment. In support of this, due to the United States being approximately 9.25 times larger in population and having the dominant cultural and economic influence it played a vital role in establishing Canada’s identity. With Canada being its neighbour, naturally, the United States would influence their way of life upon Canada. In other words,

  • Canada, Melting-Pot of the Twenty First Century

    Every country in the world has its own cultural uniqueness. What makes Canada even more unique than other countries is the fact that it is a melting-pot of many other cultures. What happened when all these cultures came together and started having contact with each other is that each culture proved itself exclusive but somewhat compatible with the other cultures. That may have caused people of different ethnic groups not to bond in such successful ways; nevertheless there still exists a strong attachment between an individual and their roots. That fusion and unity of the different cultures in this country makes its economy unique.
