Abstract
This essay will maintain the stand that more skilled immigrants should be allowed to come into the country. This is sure to not only bring about economic benefits and boost productivity, but is also a way to tackle the dwindling population problem that plagues Canada today. In addition, surely, this will further help to boost the multicultural diversity that this country is known for. This paper will argue that to ensure that this does happen, successful applicants should be required to have reasonable English or French standards.

Abstract
In the novel "Disappearing Moon Caf?" by author Sky Lee, the nature of the hamartia is found within the inability of the characters in the Wong family to reconcile the conflict that occurs between aspects of their Canadian and their Chinese lives. This is most highly manifested in the character of Suzie Wong, who apparently dies from an illness that is brought on through the accumulated stress provided to her through being asked to conform to both American and Chinese traits and failing to satisfy the demands of either. The hamartia of the Wong family is therefore found in their inability to accept both Canadian and Chinese lifestyle traits and their failure to do so becomes the tragic flaw that results in Suzie Wong's undoing. This paper explores this topic in order to better define how the hamartia impacted the Wong family's personal growth and prevented them from truly embracing a combined Canadian and Chinese heritage.

Abstract
This paper will examine the impact of recent immigration to Canada. This will consider the effectiveness of Canadian immigration policy by taking into consideration the benefits and costs to Canada of receiving immigrants. The main hypothesis that this paper will present is that government policy restricting immigration has had a significant impact on the relative benefits and costs of immigration within Canada. Also, overall, Canadian immigration has had a favourable impact on the country though the composition of immigration has changed significantly during recent years.

Abstract
This paper describes the conditions in Ireland that pushed people to leave for Canada, the pull factors that made British North America so attractive. The author states that the immigration was successful for both Ireland and British North America: Ireland reduced population and Canada received Irish immigration who provided the unskilled labor required to develop the country, a population to protect the colony under any further attacks from the United States and the political and economic influence of the Irish people. The paper states that there were problems such as an overwhelming flood of immigrants in the case of the exodus of 1847, cholera outbreak in Canada in the 1830s and poverty. Annotated bibliography.

From the Paper
"From 1815 to 1870 approximately 875,000 Irish embarked on ships heading to British North America. Usually immigration had a positive impact for both the homeland and the colonies; for owners of timber ships it solved the problem of sending empty ships westward across the Atlantic, and for Irish landlords it could be used to reduce unnecessary labor on their estates. For most emigrants the effects of moving from their homeland was also positive, because many found employment, land and wealth in Canada that they could not have obtained in Ireland. For the entire century various factors played a part in the experience of emigrating. The class, religion and wealth of the people themselves varied, with the highest classes and wealthiest leaving before the famine, and with the poorest fleeing around mid-century. The factors pushing emigrants from Ireland and pulling themselves towards British North America also changed as the century progressed. For most people the lack of opportunity in Ireland, and the plentiful employment, land, and the chance of improving ones position in society in Canada, were cited as being the main reasons for leaving."

Abstract
This is a research proposal that was done to look at the effects of poverty on immigration in Canada. In Canada, immigrants are more likely to live under the poverty line than native Canadian-born citizens. The proposal attempts to answer the question: Why are Canada?s immigrants more likely to end up in poverty than native-born Canadians. It is a qualitative proposal, which includes a literature review. The author discusses census data and utilizes interview questions and answers. The proposal was written in first person narrative, and is 13 pages long, including bibliography as well as a potential newspaper ad for gathering applicants to the study.

From the Paper
"This study will hopefully show why it is that immigrants to Canada , at least those who arrived since 1981, are more likely to live in poverty than native-born Canadians. It will attempt to find possible solutions to prevent this from happening to future immigrant populations, whether the problem lies in the hands of the immigration system, or if it has to do with something else. Optimistically, my study will also serve to educate the public and policy makers to adopt different views on immigration and immigrants than the ones currently harbored by many. In my opinion, education of the public and lawmakers will prove crucial after the findings to start finding ways to make some changes to get these people out of poverty, which would benefit everyone."

Abstract
This paper will argue that "Lives of the Saints" may be seen as a "prequel" of sorts to "Son of a Smaller Hero" in that it explains how the culture of a country of origin can shape the immigrant life in Canada.

Abstract
This paper reviews the defining characteristics of the Canadian government's public policies regarding immigration and settlement in recent years, and the emphasis upon the economic value to Canada of immigrants and immigration. This essay argues, that if one examines Canadian immigration and settlement policy in a larger historical context, one can recognize how both racism and sexism have been played important roles as primary factors in shaping these policies.

Abstract
The paper examines the Canadian economy by focusing on Canada's past performance, political and economic structures and other growth factors such as future sustainability, specific sector performance and resource allocation. The paper utilizes these statistics in order to illustrate how political and economic differences impact the growth and development of nations.

From the Paper
"The notion of development is one that is fundamental to economics and to society as a whole. The increase in the wellbeing of a country's population by increasing education levels, lowering disease rates, increasing life expectancy, increasing average per capita incomes as well as improving the infrastructure in place to allow development to continue to occur in the future is essential to that country's people and its economy. The difference between MDCs and LDCs, of what they do and do not have, is tied in many ways to economics. Canada, a MDC, provides an example of what a wealthy country has which allows it to prosper and further develop ahead of the LDCs. By examining Canada's past performance, political and economic structures and other growth factors such as future sustainability, specific sector performance and resource allocation it is possible to see how Canada is different from LDCs in terms of development."
