The data of permanent residents shows that in 1995, Canada welcomed 212,863 new immigrants and 260,407 was recorded in 2014.

The “Mystery Migrant” that arrives in Vancouver in a container from Hong Kong, is shown to be completely unwelcome. The public reacts to her presence negatively, sending in letters “depict[ing] her as some sort of terrorist or spy” (18).

These examples indicate that the first problem Vancouver has with this migrant is her foreignness, which is depicted in several ways.

New France originally consisted of two separate sectors the valley and the interior forest and lakes of the upper country. The French wanted to expand their trade, so they followed the Mississippi river down to the Gulf of Mexico; finding Louisiana. The trade between the French colonist and the Indians was threatened when the imperial officials called for a Canadian retreat, due to the lack of economy.

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.

Introduction Canada has a rich, albeit complicated relationship with immigration. Our perception of “Canadians” is not even terribly accurate as the original inhabitants of our fine country are the aboriginal peoples that lived here long before European settlers arrived. The policies our government placed on the native peoples of Canada (indeed, North America), were very harsh and had long lasting repercussions, even to this day. However, the policies of immigration focus on newcomers to Canada throughout the years.

The most noticeable one are policies concerning residential schools, where Aboriginal children were removed from their families and sent to such institutions. These government-funded, church-run schools were located across Canada and were established with the sole purpose of eliminating parental involvement in the spiritual, cultural

Source one, ‘Why immigration is a chequebook issue,’ is slightly biased with a belief that the Canadian immigration system is flawed and needs to be fixed. According to the article, Canada has an extreme shortage of workers with skill, even though to grow in this century it needs to become the best in advanced practices. Often, even immigrants who have lived in Canada for more than ten years are still hindered from gaining recognition to practice in various specific fields. As well, there is a gap in employment, housing and fair pay between first-generation immigrants and the rest of the community, gathering negative feedback.
