Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of immigration in Canada and attempts to show that there are differences between the immigration policies of the federal government and the provincial government of Alberta, but that they concur in one important aspect: both place emphasis on the need to attract skilled workers to Canada. The paper continues and relates that both allocate funds in order to attract workers. The paper also highlights the fact that skilled immigrants who come to Canada are unable to find work in their chosen professions, which points out the serious disconnection between the intent of immigration policies at both federal and provincial level. The paper agrees that this is not good for the immigrants nor good for Canada's economy and suggests methods of addressing this disconnection.
From the Paper
"The federal government appears to be trying to find ways to resolve the disconnections. For example, the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, announced the launch of a Foreign Credentials Referral Office on 24th May 2007. In announcing this, Finley noted that she had often heard stories of "the newcomer to Canada, who came with skills and credentials ... and who has had to struggle ever since to get a job in his or her chosen field" (www.cic.gc.ca). Yet at the same time, she notes that "We need skilled newcomers and we need skilled newcomers to work in their chosen field" Hence, the new Foreign Credentials Referral Office will attempt to facilitate the accreditation of these immigrants, so as to resolve the futile disconnection of a country that needs skilled immigrants, on the one hand, and on the other hand, skilled immigrants who are prevented from working just because they cannot get their foreign credentials recognized in Canada."

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 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 examines Chinese exclusion/limited immigration in Canada before World War II, including the notion of 'yellow peril'. Recounting changes in policy and Chinese experience, the paper notes how the Chinese responded, earning a fine reputation as conditions gradually improved. This paper also notes the pride of the Canadian Chinese in sometimes humble ancestors who came to build the railway, or simply entered Canada with nothing.
From the Paper
"The paper explains Canadian reluctance concerning Chinese immigration and the formation of Chinese communities in Canada, in the light of ideas and policies once common in other parts of the British Empire and in the United States. Notions of 'yellow peril' and Chinese criminality were important influences upon this exclusion, as derived from British Asia, Africa or the Caribbean, or California, more than within Canada itself. Much opposition had to do with simple ignorance and ideas of the Chinese that were incorrect."

Globalization and Immigration in Canada, 2008.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the impact of globalization upon the geography of population in urban and suburban Toronto, with specific reference to how it has transformed immigration to Canada and immigrant settlement in this region in particular. The thesis is argued that the impact of globalization and immigration in this regard has been mixed: on the one hand fostering economic growth and the creation of a multicultural society, while on the other increasing social and economic inequality leading to the concentration and segregation of immigrant populations within urban spaces. Beginning first with an outline of globalization and its relationship to immigration, the paper explores in greater detail the impact of these phenomena upon the local geographies of immigrant settlement in the urban and suburban areas of the Greater Toronto region.
From the Paper
"In this analysis, in order for Canada to meet the competitive demands of the globalized economy, it had to increase the number of immigrants for its labour force. Given the increasing prosperity of the traditional source countries in Europe, immigrants were increasingly drawn from non-traditional source countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The results of this are apparent in the increasing multicultural population of the city of Toronto. However, scholars have also noted how immigration has played a critical role in not only allowing the labour force to (re)produce itself generationally - in complementing the deficit from declining fertility levels - but also in introducing new skill sets and foreign capital to the economy.

Abstract
The following paper discusses diversity and immigration in Canada. The paper is compiled of graphs and charts to support the research.
From the Paper
"Canada is a country known for its cultural diversity. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone states, "Canada is a multicultural society with more than 200 ethnic groups recorded in the 2001 census" (Bone 155). Even though Canada has been a multicultural country for centuries recent decades have seen massive demographic shifts. One of the most obvious shifts has been a change in the ethnicities of immigrants. Table 1.1 shows that before 1961 most immigrants to Canada came from European countries and the United States. After 1961 a greater proportion of immigrants came form Asian countries, India, the Middle East and Eastern Europe."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the approaches taken by Himani Bannerji and Neil Bissoondath when discussing the Canadian model vis-a-vis immigration. In comparing and contrasting the two, the writer notes that it becomes evident that Bannerji, while she may very well have solid grounds for her vehement stance with regards to Canada and its treatment of new immigrants, is also guilty of being very selective in terms of how she defines the Canadian society of which she is a part. On the other hand, the writer points out that Bissoondath offers a rebuke that, because of its moderate tone and use of example strikes a chord with the reader; more than that, he explains how Canadian approaches to culture institutionalize incompetence and make race a criterion in matters where it should have no place. The writer maintains that in the end, Neil Bissoondath's belief that Canadian multiculturalism encourages omission and self-deception is a stirring critique that resonates.
From the Paper
"At this point, a number of things must be said. First of all, being designated a "visible minority" in Canada does not necessarily have the pejorative connotation Bannerji applies to it. For one thing, "visible minorities" are viewed favorably for affirmative action programs in both the workplace and in post-secondary institutions; secondly, given the aggressive, interventionist nature of Canadian multicultural policies (something Neil Bissoondath will discuss later), it is difficult to countenance the idea that being designated a minority in Canada makes one automatically marginalized - or subject to special "control" by the state. After all, Canada has some of the strongest anti-discrimination and workplace harassment laws in the world; therefore, if anything, being designated a "visible minority" grants someone protection from abuse and (if the wording of federal hiring policies is to be taken seriously) a "leg up" in the scramble for society's spoils."

Abstract
The paper examines the selection process and basic mechanisms by which the federal government of Canada and the province of Manitoba try to facilitate the entry of the sort of people they want. The paper then points out the shortcomings of these governments in this process. The paper also examines the disconnections between stated goals and actual outcomes. The paper concludes that Canada simply needs to do a better job of welcoming non-traditional immigrants.

Introduction
Discussion of the Topic
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Beyond the obvious fact that newcomers are not getting into the jobs they should be - or that the government has moved too slowly to help them gain accreditation or licenses - Canada's governments are not keeping up with the linguistic needs of new immigrants arriving from non-traditional countries. For example, Nicholas Keung writes that immigrant men between 1995 and 1999 made about 24 percent less in their first year in Canada than immigrant men who arrived between 1965 and 1969 - after adjusting wages for inflation."

Abstract
Explores the multicultural and expanded immigration policies in Canada and its positive results on society.
Explains the success of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act and offers reasons that Canada now attracts so many ethnic groups. The emphasis of the paper is on the Chinese and Jamaican ethnic groups.
From the Paper
"Canada is a multicultural country to which people come from different ethnic and national backgrounds, but all live in harmony here. Since the forming of multiculturalism and the expanded immigration policies, Canada has attracted people from all over the world that come here for a better education, better work and a better life in general. There has been a growing trend, from only a few ethnic groups in the past, to over eighty ethnic groups today, perhaps largely due to the very successful Canadian Multiculturalism Act."

This paper examines immigrant women in Canada and the concept of racialization.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper is composed of two sub-essays dealing with the experience of Canadian women in Canada, relating to its settlement. The first question deals with the question of racialization and the creation of the other, both with negative and valorized stereotypes. The second question answers a broad course question regarding the background of Terra Nullius to the readings.
From the Paper
"There are various structural reasons behind the emergence of racism. It is a process that combines a variety of factors such as an inherent human ethnocentrism, fear of the other and economic structures, to name a few. As Frantz Fanon pointed out, racialization and the creation of the Other is a complementary process. As much as people are the products of their environments, they also create them. The oppressor and the oppressed ultimately both adopt the identities that are given to them, and contribute to shaping the system they are a part of."
