Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Migration To Canada

There are several similarities and differences between America and Canada and in this paper I 'm going to discuss those things. Some of the similarities are both the US and Canada are Democrats and federal states. Another similarity is both have the same life expectancy 82 years of life. Some of the many differences are people Live in America for the most part speak one language, English. But, Canadians speak mainly to languages, French and English.

Canada is talked amongst other countries throughout the world as a safe, secure place to live. Majority of people do not know the heinous crimes that take place in Canada daily, especially whilst using a gun. Canada does not come close to the United States when comparing mass shootings, death by a gun, or homicides using a gun; although, the gun crimes in Canada are not improving. While Canada has more stringent gun laws than the united states, gun control in Canada should still be improved for citizen’s safety. Canada is often praised for having more efficient gun laws than the United States, but most people do not know that Canadian laws too, have much room for improvement.

Estevan is a trained English teacher but is working nights at a restaurant to make money since he can not get a real job because he is an illegal immigrant. They also have very little possessions in their name compared to how normal families live. This is shown when Estevan and Esperanza are leaving with Taylor to go to a safe house in Oklahoma. “Estevan and Esperanza had one suitcase between them and it was smaller then mine... I had packed for a week, ten days at the outside, and they were packed for the rest of their lives.”

Some Nez Perces are able to flee to Canada, but most go to live on the reservation.

A few people, including a Russian writer whose name was Leo Tolstoy made decision to help the Doukhobor 's move to Canada. The Doukhobor 's were promised free land, the right for there own religion and a guarantee that they would not have to serve in the Canadian Military. The first group of Doukhobor immigrants left Russia December 21st 1898 on the steamship Lake Huron, this group had 2100 official passengers and a few stowaways. On January 23rd 1899 the first group of Doukhobor 's had made it to Canada, although sadly 10 passengers died on the ship and many were ill.

Americans had rarely accepted outsiders as equals, and that was the case with immigrants coming to the U.S in the 1840s to the 1920s. A time in America where immigrants were not considered inferior to native white Americans did not exist. The hatred of anything non-American, especially with the coming of World War I in 1914, would only cause more Americans to despise immigrants. Part of this was rooted simply in racism, which existed towards groups other than African Americans, but much of it was simply that Americans considered themselves the chosen people while everyone else was below them. Thus, despite immigrants being accepted into America, those immigrants were still treated far worse than white citizens between the 1840s and 1920s, for the prejudice against them was obvious even in the laws created.

All of the immigrants were settled in British Columbia. After several immigration restrictions were removed in 1960,

save and buy a home for her family, and send her sons to college. When the Asians immigrated to the United States at first they were low skilled, low wage laborers. They assimilated into neighborhoods more than any other race, and they marry across racial lines. Currently most Asian immigrants obtain green cards through sponsorship of family members, and employment visas. Geographically they tend to live in the Western States.

Sometimes I felt lonely. But, fortunately, I had some good friends who grown up with me. My parents worked in a state-owned factory, and my friends were children of coworkers of my parents who lived in the same community. We knew each other in the elementary school. We had

Although I grew up here in Canada, I was taught by the old tradition ways of my strict Vietnamese parents. Learning their culture and customs made me realize how different people can be. For example, the Vietnamese also celebrate Chinese new years on a grand scale in comparison to our basic new years which occurs at midnight of December 31. They celebrate Chinese new years somewhere between January 21 to February 20 (every year is different) which everything is closed

I have decided to immigrate to Canada. I am a 27-year-old doctor in Cuba. I have a husband and two kids. I was born and raised here, and I think it 's time for a change. I am currently being paid $64 a month, which is not my ideal salary.

Beginning in the 20th century, Canada was encouraging immigration to take place, and for people to migrate to this country that promised free land and exemption to follow whatever religion they desired to follow. However, there were many disputes that arose when attempts to bring people in began. Our past reality was portrayed a certain way however, Canada currently in the 21st century has evolved immensely. Despite this, a variety of our feelings toward immigration have also remained the same since then. Overall, the Canadian government as well as the general population’s feelings toward immigration in the 20th and 21st century possess several differences and similarities as our past differs from what our current reality is yet, a great deal

In order to understand the world that we live in, it is imperative to first conceive the operating forces that shape how our society, economy and politics work, and what the impacts in our lives and environment are. In this sense, it is necessary to approach the following topics: political ideology, globalization and our natural environment. Political ideology is basically a political code of conduct, gathering up similar ideals and beliefs about how society and government should work. Political ideology does not refer only to politicians, but to anyone who is inserted in a society. Given the plurality of opinions and beliefs among people, it is not a surprise to realize the variety of political ideologies all over the world.

Since I have moved to Toronto, if I have made any accidental eye contact with strangers it would make me really uncomfortable. I understand staring is impolite but with a simple greet, “Hello or good morning” or even a smile, from where I come from is courteous or friendly. Needless to say, Toronto is the complete opposite. On a day-to-day basis, my daily commute involves a 5-minute walk to the coffee shop then I would take the bus to the subway station, on my way to school.
