Immigration Policy in Canada

Fachbereichsarbeit

Pre-University Paper from the year 2009 in the subject English - Applied Geography, grade: 1, Bundesrealgymnasium Innsbruck, language: English, abstract: Since the changes in communication and transportation have affected the mobility of human beings, people are on the move - weather they leave their home to visit another country or to stay there. Canada, as we know it today, lives for and on immigraton. The intention of this paper is to give an overall view of Canada's immigration policy and all its important surroundings, meaning economic and humanitarian facts as well. Tackling this extensive topic means to take a close look at both involved parties of immigration: the host country and its newcomers. One of my concerns was to bring in current information from both of these sides. Therefore, I also consulted conductive opinions from people, who have made a great pool of experiences with this issue. In addition, because Canada's entire history and its whole origin is based on immigration, I also decided to bring in a short survey on historical occurrences throughout time.
