Mutualism is when both sides benefit, and in the process of immigration, both Canada and the immigrants benefit greatly. As a matter of fact, Canada is a very popular place to immigrate to, it is one of the top ten most immigrated to countries in the world. Immigrants come to seek refugee, work, their families, or even just a new life. They help us by creating a better and younger workforce, and we help them to have a home and to be safe. One benefit of this mutualistic relationship is that we become a more multicultural country. Another perk is that there is growth in the labor force, and job shortages are filled. And lastly, the thing that is gained from this relationship is that families are reunited. Overall, Canada and immigration are …show more content…
One way that they have gained is that the group that was born during the baby boom is now starting to reach retirement, and Canada is facing many shortages in the labor force. Now there are shortages in jobs and the labor force, and that isn’t very good. The way that we can solve this problem is by bringing in immigrants who can work and who will help to fill up our shortages. For instance, if there is a shortage of construction workers, we can bring in immigrants who fit in the age category needed, who will work and fill up those shortages.Filling the labor shortages is a big perk to immigration because they can help the Country by creating more jobs, and by lowering the unemployment numbers. Even though bringing in new immigrants may not take away all the unemployment, but it helps the amount of employed Canadians to go up. For example, if there are fifty job opening in a magazine company, and thirty immigrants come and fill up the jobs, there are still lots of unemployed people, but the number of employed people goes up. If the labor force is increased by young immigrants, Canada then has a younger labor force. If we fill the shortages with people aged twenty to twenty-nine, this creates a younger workforce, which then creates a long time workers to be working. If five twenty-year-olds come to Canada and start working in …show more content…
They may say that only Canada is benefited and that the immigrants are either indifferent or are harmed in this relationship. They are wrong because the immigrants do really benefit from joining a multicultural Canada, it makes it easier for them to adjust to their new life. Also, the fact that labor force growth is not good for immigrants is not true. They are benefited by the fact that they are offered more jobs because of the shortages, and the fact that they can get a better job because they are needed. Others may say that Canada does not benefit from reuniting families, but that is also not true. When immigrants have families back in their countries, they send the money back instead of spending it in Canada. When their families are in Canada, the money is then spent in Canada, and Canada prospers.
In conclusion, there is a mutualistic relationship between Canada and immigrants because Canada is becoming more culturally diverse, there is growth in the labor force, and families are being reunited. As a matter of fact, Canada is assisted by becoming more multicultural, having a growing labor force, and immigrants gain by being reunited with their families. Overall, there are so many ways that Canada and the immigrants prosper through this process, and that is why it is an admirable mutualistic
Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, from around the world come into the United States. These immigrants come to America for better life, some immigrants are refugees, escaping persecution and civil wars in their home country. Many immigrants believe that United States is the best place to go. I think allowing Immigrates to United States can benefit America because allowing Immigrates to come to America would have an increase on Economy and illegal immigrants already pay taxes and America is the country of immigrants. I think Immigrants should be allowed to come to America because allowing immigrants to come to America would have an increased on economy.
If all Canadians benefit economically, why shouldn’t they. Canada can even sell resources to other countries, there is no reason that they could not give to its own people, especially to people who took care of it for hundreds of years. If only they were legally give their rights, they would not have to suffer what they
Canada has a little piece of almost every culture in the world, shown through the large amount of people moving to Canada from every continent in the world. The multitude of cultures is displayed through the plethora of festivals held throughout the country every year, such as the Folk Fest, Edmonton Food Festival, Heritage Festival and the International Film Festival, all bringing in various cultures and traditions from around the world. Canada has all of these festivals due to the large amount of immigration that was even shown in Anita Rau Badami’s essay my Canada, when she and her husband had moved from India to Vancouver. Canada is one if not the most desirable countries to immigrate to, not only for the living conditions but because of the ability to keep your culture and not have to assimilate to a “Canadian” culture. Thanks to immigration Canada has become a great model country to look at for cultural diversity and cultural acceptance that any country can look at and try to model in their own
Canada has been taking immigrants and refugees for hundreds of years and will hopefully continue to do so. Each immigrant has a unique understanding of Canadian national identity as each is incorporated with different foreign cultures. Many immigrants value the freedom, rights, safety, and security that Canada provides them with. The Canadian opinion on migrants is mostly positive as this country was built and strengthened by immigration. My own parents immigrated to Canada in 1998 and my family is incredibly grateful that they did.
The sheer scale of Canada’s reliance on immigrants to bolster the workforce is evidenced by the fact that “from 1950-1995, immigration accounted for two-thirds of the total labour force increase”
Canada actively sought out immigrants from eastern Europe to help populate the west of Canada in 1914. Canada was largely populated of immigrants from other countries and when Canada participated in World War I and World War II many immigrants from the enemy countries were viewed as suspicious and treacherous. This led to the internment of enemy aliens, during this time enemy aliens were treated with very little respect as human beings. The Canadian government had to figure out who the enemy aliens were and how they were going to treat them. The treatment of enemy aliens had many impacts on the 20th and 21st century both negative and positive.
CANADIAN IDENTITY By Rebecca Grimwood Does Canada have a secure identity, or have we become an American wannabe? The two countries share the longest border in the world, and have a similar amount of land mass. Many wonder if Canada is simply a smaller version of America. Although Canada is aware of America’s entertainment industry, concept of multiculturalism, and history, there are fundamental differences that make Canada’s identity unique and secure.
For examples, one of my nephew is pays nearly 10, 0000 dollar taxes every years. That way the government can help people who need money such as food stamps and all. Also, Immigrants people helps to develop science and technologies, and other fields. For example, the research by the Kauffman in the article Immigrants Are Crucial to the American Dream says that “25 percent of the U.S science and technology companies have their chief executives are foreign born and these immigrant are highly educated (Mike Ford 241).” For all this reasons immigrants help American society in positive way as
The improvement of the rights of the Canadian Immigrants Canada, as one of the biggest immigration countries, welcomes people from all over the the world and forms a representative multicultural atmosphere in today’s society. Over these few decays, the country has always been consummating the laws to provide immigrants equal rights and freedoms, and better treatments they could receive. However, Canadian immigration laws were not unprejudiced and it eventually caused a “legal discrimination” before 1976. The legal rights of the immigrant groups have improved significantly because of the demands of developing the country, the influences of the wars, and the globalization of the world. Since 1880s, more immigrants and foreigners came to Canada because of the railway construction project.
One of the reasons there is so much immigrant population in this country is because of the economy. In the past, immigration was helpful to the economy when people encouraged it so that the it could become prosperous and bring in diversity and help needed. Today, many people are afraid of losing their jobs. Immigration is currently flooding the labor market, primarily in the low-skill, low-wage sectors, and driving down wages and working conditions for many Americans because our immigration policies do not take economic conditions into account. Illegal immigration probably has its greatest impact on the United States’
We all have stories on how and why we came here. In this report, I will tell you the story of how my family came to Canada from Malaysia. My family’s immigration story is made up of push and pull factors, how they came, and how they adapted. This is my family’s immigration story. My family’s immigration story has many push and pull factors.
An immigrant family wants the best for everyone lives, however moving to a new country brings struggles. There struggles include finding a home, a good paying job, avoiding to be deported, being separated ,and continuing their education. Immigrants expect a better life because their old home and country did have much benefits as the new country gives them. The advantage of an immigrant family is family values which tends them to be closer. Disadvantages of an immigrant family are the struggles that were first mentioned and including that they face other people calling them a threat.
Immigration has been and will continue to happen all around the world. There are so many reasons for people who come from different countries and ethnicities to move from country to country. The reasons why these people immigrate is either they are simply forced to, due to violence and hostility or that they are in search of a better life for them, and or their family etc. Canada being rated number one in quality of life has been a goal for people wanting to immigrate. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act ( IRPA) was established by the Canadian government in the year 2002.
One major positive is that it creates relationships and communities between people of all different religions and race. One other positive is that immigrant assimilation creates a better workforce resulting in getting jobs done faster and for less money. Although the immigrant assimilation may be good in some ways it also has some negative impacts. It can lower job wages because of the number of workers available and can also have an impact on the unemployment rate. Assimilation can also cause a big loss of culture, tradition, and identity which can be viewed as bad.
Through family-sponsored immigration, a U.S. citizen can sponsor his or her spouse, parents, brothers and sisters. Lots of people from my country come here through marriages, so then they are able to sponsor their family members to the U.S. and experience a better life. Therefore, the amount of my country’s immigrants increase year by year. In conclusion, if we add up the economic benefits, job opportunities and improved standard of living, we will have a desirable place to live for anyone who was born into a third world country.
