Abstract
This paper examines Canadian immigration policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Specifically, the paper addresses why it was unfair to view Canadian immigration policy as wholly racist in nature and how Canadian immigration policy evolved over time. According to the paper, the policy grew progressively harsher in many ways while still ensuring that "desirable" types from China found their way into the land. Finally, the paper explores some of the controversies which compelled politicians at both levels of government to act as they did.

Anti-Chinese Sentiment and Canadian Immigration Policy: "The following paper will look at Canadian immigration policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Specifically, the paper will look at why it is unfair to view Canadian immigration policy as wholly racist in nature (it certainly had instrumentalist components to it - even for the Chinese) and at how Canadian immigration policy evolved over time - growing progressively harsher in many ways while still ensuring that "desirable" types from China found their way into the land. Finally, the paper will explore some of the controversies which compelled politicians at both levels of government to act as they did. In the final analysis, ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the evolution of Canadian immigration policy since the second World War. Specifically, the paper looks at the dramatic shift that took place in the 1960s as Canada began to move away from its old preferential immigration policy under the Pearson government. Further, the paper illustrates how political, economic and demographic factors created a remarkable amount of momentum for policies which opened the doors (and kept them open) for non-European arrivals from the latter 1960s onward.

Abstract
This paper looks at the evolution of the Canadian immigration policy since the Second World War. Specifically, it discusses the dramatic shift which took place in the 1960s as Canada began to move away from its old preferential immigration policy under the Pearson government. Further, the paper analyzes how political, economic and demographic factors created a remarkable amount of momentum for policies which opened the doors (and kept them open) for non-European arrivals from the latter 1960s onward.

From the Paper
"Lastly, Canada has moved substantially towards an immigration policy that permits family reunification for all immigrants - especially global south immigrants - with very few restrictions. In light of the fact that so many of today's immigrants are non-European (and, as noted previously, this has been the case since at least the middle-1970s), the end result is that this bit of Canadian policy-making has bolstered the already-high numbers of non-European groups within Canada. In the end, it would seem evident that successive Canadian governments - whether Conservative or Liberal - have embraced multicultural immigration because the swiftly-changing demographics of the land (and a new political landscape) leaves them no choice but to indulge non-Caucasian and non-European citizens."

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
This paper looks at Canada's immigration policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and argues that Canada's racist immigration policies towards the Chinese were also instrumentalist in the sense that certain types of Chinese were allowed into the country if it was felt they could benefit business interests. The paper explores some of the controversies which compelled politicians at both levels of government to act as they did.

From the Paper
"The simple reality is that Canadian immigration policy during the early years of the twentieth century was driven as much by economic and practical considerations as it was driven by racial and/or cultural considerations - albeit, at least in the case of the Chinese, these items still played a role in the determination of who entered Canada and who did not. For example, Clifford Sifton pursued an immigration policy that sought out farmers from Eastern Europe on the grounds that a) they would be good farmers and diligent labourers; and b) their experiences on the rugged Canadian farmland - experiences shared by most other Canadians - would gradually allow for their assimilation into the larger English-Canadian community (Knowles, para.4)."

Abstract
This paper explains how Canadian immigration policy does not address matters of gender, for immigrants still tend to be looked at in generic ways. At different points, it is stressed too that studies of immigrant and refugee conditions have sometimes tended to lump refugee women into categories that have already been in place that have more to do with a general concern for inequality at large, racism and sexism. Resettlement in Canada can be a challenging and troubling experience for women and it is stressed that women need not be asylum-seekers in order to find immigration to Canada a project that exceeds what they have expected.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the federal government defends large-scale immigration on the grounds that it is necessary for economic growth as well as serving as the chief means by which the proportion of retired persons to workers can be ameliorated. However, the paper reveals that quite surprisingly, the evidence argues against these findings; far from boosting the country's productivity and worker/retiree ratio, large-scale immigration as practiced in Canada actually does very little that can be classified as favourable. Beyond that, the paper argues that there is plenty of research out there which shows that simply throwing open the doors and letting more people into the nation as a means of stopping the aging of the Canadian population is not the answer; unless we as a country are prepared to let almost anyone in who wants to come in, the grim reality is that our society is going to continue to age and the ratio of dependents to workers is going to continue to grow worse.

Abstract
The paper relates that as Canada accelerates into the 21st century, the makeup of its population poses some daunting challenges. The paper explains that the first Baby Boomers are beginning to come forward to claim their pensions, and the reproduction rate of Canadians remains low.

"As Canada accelerates into the 21st century, the makeup of its population poses some daunting challenges. The first Baby Boomers are beginning to come forward to claim their pensions, and the reproduction rate of Canadians remains low. Welsh sums up this problem as follows: ... for those of us under forty, who have been paying into the CPP with little hope of being able to draw on it later, the spectre of a shortage of skilled workers and a shrinking tax base gives us the shivers. Not only will we be forced to pay more to support the baby-boom bulge, but there is also increased likelihood that there will be fewer Canadians in..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Canadian immigration policy is defined by a range of public and private actors, but is implemented and regulated by state institutions. The paper then argues, with reference to a comparative analysis of three recent articles on immigration and diversity from the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, and the Ottawa Citizen, conflicting ideologies and representations of the objects of regulations in these publications reveal the economic and class basis of immigration policy and its legal regulation in Canada today.

From the Paper
"Some critics have argued that the history of the discourse on Canadian diversity has shifted over the course of the twentieth century - from the early years as described above to the present day - over which time the focus shifted from the "problem of immigration" and preventing more diversity from arriving, to the "naturalization problem" of coping with the existing diversity within Canadian borders. However, a critical analysis of the media representations of immigration and diversity within a short span of time - in three different publications in two Canadian metropolises - suggest that this argument may be flawed. From this perspective, the regulatory aspect of the "problem of immigration" remains a core element in the representation of this issue in Canadian media today."

Abstract
Canada is, according to the last census, a country with a population of 32,078,819 people (Statistics Canada). This number has been increasing over the past 60 years thank to Canada's immigration policy. This paper examines the history of its immigration system and looks at two relevant case studies.

"The next class is the Independent Class immigrants. These people usually apply at a Canadian Embassy in their country's capital in order to get an interview with a Canadian consul, and upon successful completion of that interview they may be eligible in getting a VISA for entering Canada. These applicant must be 19 years or older. Also they can choose their "destination" for Canada as there are different waiting periods (Quebec or Federal). (Department of Justice Canada). These applicants can be subdivided in another four classes: workers, entrepreneurs, self-employed and investors. They are accepted/rejected based on the point system. The last but not least class is the Refugee Class"
