Analysis of Immigration in Canada
Introduction
Canada’s community is respected all around the world. Among many citizens in Canada, the majority are immigrants. According to a Canadian Consensus in 2001, the Canadian population is approx. 30,000,000 and immigration represented approx. 0.834% of the population growth.[1]. These numbers continue to increase as Government Immigration policies center the immigrant growth to be on 1% of the population annually.[2] Thousands of people choose Canada to improve their quality of life, due to the limited economic growth in their country of origin. Our detailed research on Canada’s immigration policy clearly shows the analysis of the policy, its implementation on Canada’s competitiveness and suggestions for the Canadian government to improve the immigration policy.
1. A History of Canadian Immigration
There have been major developments in Canadian immigration policy that reflect the different phases of national development and different political and administrative priorities. In May 1947-1950’s, MacKenzie King established white immigration from Europe, U.S and the Middle East. The rationale was economic development and population growth. “In relation to its stated purpose, it was very successful.”[3] In 1962, Immigration Regulations abandoned racial discrimination and moved to a universality and admission based on skills, family reunion and humanitarian considerations. This improved Canada’s “constructive role in international affairs…Canada moved into a period of rapid economic expansion, as funds became available for the reorganization of overseas operations.”[4] 1966-67 represented Pearson governments most urgent priorities '' manpower development. This involved the training and upgrading of the Canadian Labour force on mounting evidence that “through the sixties our labour force was one of the least skilled among industrialized nations.”[5] This was a change in management rather than an in immigration policy itself.
