Abstract
This essay focuses on media, immigration and minority groups in Canada. The essay analyzes five articles that look at media bias against immigrants to Canada. The paper argues that the media portrays the immigrants as people who are only good as labourers and not as Canadian citizens.
From the Paper
"Miscasting Immigrants and Minorities in Canada Canada is supposed to have a multicultural society in which immigrants are welcome and minorities are accepted. 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). However, there is ample evidence that the media, various levels of government and Canadian society as a whole do not really believe in multiculturalism."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Germany's economic, religious and political affairs and considers whether multiculturalism stands a chance in German society. After reviewing these facets of the German nation, the paper concludes that in all aspects, Germany is still largely xenophobic and that without significant shifts in perspectives on German history, immigration and the Church's role in politics, the German nation will never accept a multicultural society.
From the Paper
"Since the unification of the various German states, the small kingdoms like Bavaria, and the duchies of Saxony and the Palatinate, in 1870, the German nation has prided itself on singular identity, not to be marred by "outsiders". This "Staatsfreude" (literally, happiness of being one State) survived Bismarck, Ebert, Hindenburg, Hitler, Adenauer, Willy Brandt, Helmut Kohl, and the new German chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder."

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."

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."

Immigration Policies into Canada, 2008.
An essay discussing the issue of immigration into Canada, with particular reference to Alberta.

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."

Canada and Immigration, 2007.
This paper discusses the increased immigrant population in Canada.
1,055 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper cites various statistics and state sponsored research studies as evidence that not only is Canada's immigrant population a significant percentage of the overall population, but it is one that is on the rise. The paper discusses the extent of this impact on Canada. The paper points out Canada's official terminology that broadly segregates Canada's population into immigrant and native-born camps. The paper concludes that how Canada reconciles these emerging social divisions may mean the difference between continued economic prosperity or increasing violence and poverty levels.
From the Paper
"Canada is deeply affected by immigration and the impact it is having on its demographic profile. With the mass influx of foreign immigrants over the last decade and certainly with the recent spike over the last several years, soon the term Canadian could very well imply that to be Canadian is to be foreign born more than it is to mean born and raised in Canada. While this is not a negative and certainly this argument proposes nothing negative about this potential characteristic, the fact that such an observation may eventually be possible is shocking to many people. In 2005, for example, there were 262k new immigrants which was represented an 11% increase over the previous 12 month period. While this may not, at first, seem expansive, when compared as a percentage to Canada's total population, it is significant."

Abstract
Several eminent authors have composed various masterpieces or performed intensive research on the bittersweet experiences, as well as the treatment of immigrant women in Canada. This paper discusses a particular group - the Chinese and the Hong Kong women who settled in Canada. Firstly, this paper provides an account of the progress of the immigration policies in Canada since its origin until today and its effects on the entryway of Chinese immigrant women in Canada. The paper then presents the effect of standardized policies regarding race and sex on Chinese immigrant women. Lastly, this report looks into the institutional processes, including employment and unemployment as well as the organizational processes including the relationships between family members, child care, household chores and social life which affected the lives of skilled Chinese women who migrated from China and Hong Kong and are settled in Canada.
From the Paper
"Such processes are the cause of ?social injustice? (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant) within a society. Following is the account of effects of institutionalized processes in employment that is based on two surveys including married women immigrants from Hong Kong as well as China. These two studies show that most women moved to Canada with their husbands under the independent class or as business immigrants (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant). These women worked back home on the basis of their individual degrees and were considered highly skilled workers but when they moved to Canada, they were not eligible for the Canadian experience requirement and as a result they were unable to work. Some of the women, who did manage to seek employment, were either underpaid or were rejected. The Canadian women irrespective of their qualifications were given preference over the Chinese immigrant women."

History of Chinese Immigration to Canada., 2005.

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."

Canada's Immigration Policies, 2008.
A critical look at the federal and provincial immigration policies of Canada.
2,074 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at the purposes of provincial immigration policies and at the mechanisms in place to make those objectives a reality. The paper discusses the disconnection between Canada's objectives and results and explores what can be done to resolve these shortcomings. The paper also shows how Canada and its provinces may have no choice but to liberalize its immigration policy if it hopes to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.
From the Paper
"More than anything else, it appears as though the chief purpose of federal and provincial immigration policy is to expedite the influx of the most talented and industrious immigrants possible. For example, the federal Foreign Credential Referral Office will "ease" the "assessment and recognition" of foreign credentials. As it stands, when the office is wholly operational, it will operate out of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration (Woods, para.1-5). To elaborate upon the initial sentence in this paragraph, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) seeks - among other things - to admit "immigrants, foreign students, visitors and temporary workers who enhance Canada's social and economic growth" (Citizenship and Immigration Canada, para.3)."
