While good writers exist in all cultures, our writers and culture are often over looked. Canadian students should study these writers because they need to become more familiar with our literature. Students need to focus on their own culture despite being surrounded by others, and schools need to promote and establish writers in Canada. Students need this in their education as well as the encouragement to become young Canadian authors themselves. Students in Canada taking English should study Canadian literature because we are completely overtaken by the foreign cultures around us.
Multiculturalism is thus, based on a pre assumption of equality which is not necessarily real. This is because multiculturalism pretends to be a mechanism to equalize all cultures within Canada. In the real sense, this is not what it is. The Ontario’s government policy on multiculturalism known as Multiculturalism: A new strategy for Ontario is aware of the concerns presented by color and race. Therefore, the Government tries to tackle those issues within their policy.
As a family they might face issues such as unemployment because almost every job in Canada requires communicating in English fluently since it is the official language. Even if someone gets the job it will be challenging for them to communicate with their co workers or customers. There might be problems when children are able to communicate better than the parents and both of them are not able to communicate well with each other, it might disturb the family emotionally and mentally. Kids won’t be comfortable in letting their parents meet their friends because they feel embarrass when their parents can’t talk properly in English. In order to overcome this issue there are free classes of English available for families but of course there is a certain limit of people who can attend and when the spaces are filled in those classes the only choice left is to pay for the

At first, when I chose Canadian Studies, I did not expect the course to be as in depth as it is. Now that I have read the course outline and have been to classes, I am beginning to have a greater appreciation for Canada. Originally from Barbados, I had no vast knowledge of this country. What I knew about Canada were the stereotypical elements such as, hockey, speaking both French and English and always saying “eh”. Even though I have only been here for three weeks, I have learnt quite a lot about what it means to be Canadian.
Who gets in? a) Summary b) Theoretical approach c) What I have learned d) Previously held biases revealed in the paper e) Conclusion The Canadian states official public pronouncement, Rhetoric’s with respect to immigration objectives and benefits are very often not matched by Reality, what actually happens. The Canadian state develops its immigration policies to address what it hopes it can control but forgetting that other forces like global trade, Canadian economic performance and transnational migrant’s network play a significant role in determining what actually takes place and as a result, actually policy outcomes are often significantly different from those advanced in rhetoric. The state focus more on the
When studying in a foreign country, language, homesickness, and culture shock are major factors with which international students deal. Going to another country with intent of studying is not an easy decision since it requires responsibility and interest. For students from collectivist cultures, leaving their family to earn their degree also requires a certain level of self-denial. Usually, students take the opportunity to go to study in different country because they are looking for a better chance in their life. When they leave their home country, they quickly start to have hard time.
The major issue today is the economy. Since the American economy currently has a stock-market crisis, we are bound to have one in the near future. All Canadian citizens are responsible for choosing their leaders, keeping in mind the issues that affect them, namely foreign policy, the environment, and the economy. The Canadian soldiers in both Iraq and Afghanistan need to be brought home, as our current foreign policy is not effective. We are losing numerous troops due to continual terrorist resistance, and we have to change our tactics to suit the circumstances.
By looking through the history and development of Canadian sports and culture we can see that both were directly affected by standardization and urbanization, how amateur versus professionals affected Canadian society and finally how rivalry in national sports affects Canada’s nationality. Therefore, Canada has a history of rallying with each other around sports during times of both triumph and struggle and Sports have long been looked at as a source of nationalism in Canadian culture and throughout Canadian history. Canada only became an independent country after leaving the monarchical control of Britain in 1867, and as such the country had a hard time developing a national identity. Sports began to gain prominence throughout the country and Canadians began looking to sport as a form of nation building. Sports were used to teach young Canadians about honesty, hard work and perseverance as all sports are
Traveling around the world is very exciting and is a great learning experience for most people. However, living in a new country as an international student is a lot different than just traveling to that country. You have left behind friends and family and must start over completely new. The biggest things that international students face are leaving behind people back home, getting used to a new culture, and dealing with the financial issues that come along with moving to a new country. To leave your country and go to another one is a big step to take.
