Abstract
The paper discusses how the two films "Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad" and "Who Gets In?" present distinct views on issues of migration and oppression from the perspective of the Canadian context. The paper reviews both works with respect to their presentation, their major themes and an evaluation of their respective effectiveness. The paper argues that "Freedom's Land" is notably lacking in critical focus on its major themes relating to Canada's historical role of receiving slaves. In contrast, the paper asserts that "Who Gets In?" is more effective and powerful, due to its close critical focus on its major themes of bureaucracy and selectivity.

From the Paper
"Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad is a production of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that attempts to depict the history of Canada's involvement in the Underground Railroad that, in the 19th century, assisted many African American slaves in escaping from the oppression in the slave states of the American south. The film is structured in cohesive sections, beginning with a general depiction of the institution of slavery, and then progressing through to Canada's role as a refuge for slaves fleeing the United States, and featuring as a core element a lengthy depiction of the failed "rebellion" of John Brown in his raid on Harper's Ferry that was a major event during the period leading up to the American Civil War."

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies two films that relate to the subject of migration and oppression in Canada. The two films examined are "Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad" (CBC) and "Who Gets In?" (NFB). The writer argues that "Freedom's Land" is the more problematic of the two works given its puzzling lack of coherent focus relating to Canada's historical role as a receiving nation for oppressed refugees from American slavery. Further, the writer argues that "Who Gets In?" is the more incisive of the two works in part due to its close critical focus on the issues, together with its effective strategy of showing the bureaucracy in action as a means of subtly criticizing its operations.

From the Paper
"The two films - Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad (CBC) and Who Gets In? (NFB) - present distinct views on issues of migration and oppression from the perspective of the Canadian context. This essay will critically review both works with respect to their presentation, their major themes, and an evaluation of their respective effectiveness. It will be argued that ..."

Abstract
This essay discusses immigration, immigrants and migration patterns in Canada. The paper goes through historical newspapers from 1891 to 1960 and reports on what they said about immigration, immigrants and migration in Canada. The paper looks at the changing pattern of migration over the seventy year period that the newspaper articles span.

From the Paper
"Immigration, Immigrants and Migration Patterns in Canada Canada is a multinational country known for its 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". Most Canadians are so used to this level of diversity that they fail to recognize that it is a relatively recent development. When Canada was a young country it primary culture was extremely xenophobic. This meant that because foreigners were not well liked or widely accepted in Canadian society. This is because the majority of Canadians at this point were of British origin."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explores student inter-provincial migration in Canada. The writer discusses the various factors that impact a student's decision of location for higher education. The writer concludes that economic and social reasons play a major part of the student's final choice.

From the Paper
"Particularly, the ensuing several pages take a closer look at how student "comfort levels" vis-a-vis re-location, provincial size, economic factors, and even social considerations such as "warmth" and language all shape where students will go when they pursue a post-secondary education. Ultimately, what the paper hopes to reveal is that, while a myriad of factors obviously come into play when students determine where they will go to get an education, certain provinces tend to attract (or not attract) students for certain economic and social reasons that simply cannot be ignored."

From the Paper
"Gripping Stuff Entertainment (GSE) is an entertainment service provider specialising in movie rentals. Traditionally distribution of videos and DVDs was accomplished via the GSE stores from which they were rented. Senior management has recently decided to migrate from the traditional distribution system to an online version in order to reduce costs resulting from physical storefront rentals and maintenance and also in order expand the customer base. A very real risk is that existing customers will be drawn over to competing home entertainment providers while GSE implements this migration. In order to mitigate this risk and also to increase general customer loyalty to the GSE brand, a loyalty programme will be launched and integrated with the new internet distribution channel. Offering loyalty incentives to those customers who choose to utilise the internet mode of distribution will increase internet sales penetration of the market while increasing overall loyalty to GSE."

Abstract
The paper looks at how Harsha Walia in "Colonialism, Capitalism and the Making of the Apartheid System of Migration in Canada Part 1 and Part II" discusses the immigration policies in Canada. The paper explains that immigration into Canada by different races has always been difficult whether it is African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, or Arabs, since Canada is a country that is selective in whom they allow to come into their country.

From the Paper
"Immigration into Canada by different races has always been difficult whether it is African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, or Arabs. Canada is a country that is selective in whom they allow to come into their country. Walia discusses the types of immigrants accepted into Canada as well as the problems with wages to immigrant workers. Canada has limited who has the right to enter into their country. When Japanese immigrants in 1877-1928 came to Canada, they limited the number..."

Abstract
This paper discusses immigration to Canada between 1896 and 1914. Specifically, the paper focuses on Canada's response to calls for increased immigration, which was to essentially turn national policy over to the private sector. The paper argues that what should have been public policy was dictated by capital's demand for physically strong, poorly spoken newcomers that were expected to work hard without complaining about poor wages and conditions.

Abstract
Since the Cuban revolution, Cuban-American relations have been strained. The Cuban Adjustment Act (1966) grants refugee status to virtually every Cuban national to arrive in the US. This is a point of contention between the two governments. This paper analyzes Cuban-American migration and the similar case of undocumented refugees from China arriving in Canada in 1999.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the National Museum's Field to Factory exhibit, and the Great Migration from the years 1915-1940. It discusses the social elements that existed in the lives of southern African Americans and their reasons to migrate by the thousands to northern lands. The writer further looks at the effects of this migration on the United States, making use of 3 sources of supporting information.

From the Paper
"A remarkable statement on the social history of the United States, the Field to Factory Exhibit at the National Museum of American History offers the viewer the opportunity to step briefly back in time and experience elements from the Great Migration of an American people. This period, (1915-1940) is an important span of time for the entire world to consider. While we are taught about the Civil War, slavery, and the Civil Rights Movement, we often fail to comprehend the significant changes that took place in the United States because of the courage of a race that refused to be enslaved forever. This exhibit speaks, through visual and audio means, about the lives of the African American people in the south, during their migration north, and presents evidence about their new lives in the northern United States."
