Thus, the role played by immigrant women entrepreneurs and the impacts it has in some sectors of the country’s economy has been neglected on a larger scale (Hudon, 2015). Is very clear that it is important for the current generation to learn the impact of race, ethnicity and gender in the economy of Canada. The other point coming from the literature which is worth noting is the fact that immigrant women businesses in general are small scale and are mainly operated and owned by families (Miller, 2010). Some groups of immigrant (Portuguese, Italians, and Chinese) have built communities which are institutionally complete within the core cities of Canada and the existing suburbs and therefore extensively rely on their own individual ethnic

  • Summary Of Canada's Immigration System Is No Kinder

    1357 Words  | 6 Pages

    For migrants, family reunification and spousal sponsorship is fundamental to successfully building this legacy; unification of grandparents, spouses, and children are both important emotional and financial support, but also important pieces of a migrant’s culture and heritage. As such, family unification supports multiculturalism and is “a strategy for migrant integration, rather than isolation” (Reitz, 2012). In his article “Canada’s Immigration System Is No Kinder than America’s”, Khan argues the mounting financial and systemic barriers to family reunification is grounded in the increased immigration opportunity via the Temporary Foreign Worker program and subsequent reduction of Family or Economic (high skilled work) opportunities, as TFW programs do not permit spousal sponsorship or family reunification in Canada. “[Spousal reunification] only accounted for 28 per cent of migrants” in the 2017 year (Khan, 2017), and this is not just a benign consequence of the TFW program; Canada has implemented a series of bureaucratic hurdles such as the Case Processing Center, the Case Intake Office, and Case Processing Pilot whose primary purpose is to review, exclude and discourage family sponsorship and reunification in the Economic and Refugee classes (Satzewich, 2014). In his article “The Distinctiveness of Canadian Immigration Experience”
