Stephen Castles makes a number of arguments in his article, The International Politics of Forced Migration, however I will be focusing on one. I will focus on his argument that policy makers have implemented policies that attract mainly high skilled workers, and are unwelcoming to unskilled workers and their families. I agree with the Canadian immigration policy which favors highly skilled workers and consider it an essential tool for maintaining Canada’s economic growth and prosperity. Further,
For Canadian businesses, China still represents a vast untapped market for Canadian goods and services. For trade-dependent Canada, it is important to navigate this shift in global economic current by modifying its trade policies to ensure its continuous economic growth. Although trade with United States still continues to dominate its international trade and investment policy, Canada’s economic stability will depend upon its economic ties with China representing the second pillar of global economic growth. As China is slated to become the world’s largest economy in the near future, it is imperative that Canada focuses on strengthening its economic and political ties with China. As of today,
The current economic trends of the natural resource sector are being closely followed by the governments of Canada on the federal, provincial and city levels. Natural resources are key to the Canadian economy and according to statistics Canada, energy, forestry and mining generated 11% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2011.). As the demand for commodities increases worldwide the Canadian export sector grows which keeps the economy alive and even booming at times. The Canadian economy has been negatively affected by weak commodity prices and the drop in global trade. The federal government’s economic action plan is investing in the natural resource sector to build and secure Canada’s economic future.

One of the main reasons for Ottawa's decision to acquire the Prairie Provinces was to create "a region of frontier settlement capable of rapid development and capable in turn of stimulating developments in other parts of the dominion” (MacPherson 6). The American influx originated from the country's Midwest and Great Plains states like Montana, Colorado, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, where unsettled farming land, formerly plentiful, was becoming very rare. The settlers rapidly increased wheat production in the west, and helped grow the Canadian economy through investments based off natural resource wealth. They were arguably even more influential, however, in their political ideology (MacPherson 7). Immigrants brought with them the classic liberal American ideas such as individualism, devotion to the free market and an aversion to large, centralized powers (“Imprint” 1).
Let me start by saying that the Liberal Party of Canada is very much interested in encouraging immigration of skilled workers; and therefore our first priority on the issue of immigration would be to speed up the recognition of foreign credentials and prior work experience. In four years from now, immigration is expected to account for the entire net growth of Canada’s workforce. As of today, the door to immigrations from around the world is open. If elected, the Liberal Party of Canada will start to elevate the standard of possible immigrants in order to meet Canada’s workforce needs. However, at the same time, we need to improve our social and economic incorporation of new Canadians, including recognition of their professional credentials,
Introduction As society advances more attention being placed on cultural policy in both the public and political sectors with changes implemented to keep up with the advancements—many of which are brought about by rapidly changing technology (Rabinovitch, 2007). The presence of a diverse and complex mixture of British Canadians, French Canadians, Aboriginal peoples as well as Europeans has also contributed to these changes. The Canadian cultural policy has played a vital role in the maturity of Canada’s heritage and in achieving a cohesive, all inclusive cultural infrastructure. Because of this diverse population, the government has supported mass culture since the 19th century, through introduction of various cultural policies. The main
Legalizing Immigrants Thesis statement : Research suggests that legalizing immigrants would be a stimulus to the United States’ economy because legalized workers contribute to the economy through taxes, legalized workers earn higher wages, and it would allow these legalized immigrants to have an education and training for a better and higher paying job. 1. Introduction to the paper a. There are currently 11+ million undocumented immigrants living in the United States (Hoefer et al., 2011) (Lynch et al., 2013). b.
To be profitable, consumers have to be aware of new products and purchase the items; this is how companies increase revenue. Being able to effectively manage the four Ps of the marketing mix are crucial to the success of the new product or service being marketed. The four Ps consist of product or service, place, price, and promotion (Kotler, & Keller, 2013). By using the four Ps marketing mix, it assist in how your company decides to market a new product or service; and tests current marketing strategy. This concept works both domestic and internal markets; for international markets, various cultures will have to be researched and adjustments made to integrate the products or services successfully into the market (Kotler, & Keller,
This is important because not many countries treat immigrants fairly, and choose to judge them to be below than people who were born in the country. But Canada provides immigrants to feel like this is their home making Canada seem like a compromising and welcoming society. Secondly, jobs and terms of work differ in both countries because of wealth. In the United States Greer (1999) says, “They tell me they cannot afford to retire and are amused at my consternation” (p.17). Everything in the U.S. is so expensive that people must overwork themselves to stay alive.
