- The Canadian Dream vs. The Immigrant Reality Many immigrants
regardless of class believe that Canada will be the answer to their
problems What are those dreams and realities?
- Slide 25
- The Dream: The dream is that Canada will offer: Prospects for
productive employment Excellent education opportunity for children
High quality of life Tolerant and equitable Society
- Slide 26
- The Reality: Many independent immigrants (lawyers, doctors,
teachers) expect to find work in their fields. Unfortunately, many
companies/employers do not recognize foreign credentials or
university degrees. Many immigrants end up unemployed, or working
in poorly paying jobs
- Slide 27
- Push Factors A social, political, economic, or environmental
force that DRIVES people out of a location. Few jobs - Poor
standard of living- Political fear - Poor medical care - Loss of
wealth - Natural Disasters - Pollution - Poor housing -
- Slide 28
- Pull Factors A social, political, economic, or environmental
attraction that DRAWS people into a new location - Job - Better
standard of living - Political and/or religious freedom - Education
- Better medical care - Security - Family links
- Slide 29
- The Reality: Students fall behind in school because their
education experiences may not match up with school expectations.
Also language can be a significant barrier to integration and
adaptation to Canada
- Slide 30
- Although Canadas claim of having one of the highest qualities
of life is true, this quality of life does not always filter down
into the immigrant communities. Rental housing, immigrant support,
and political representation may not be accessible. High cost of
living (especially in cities) can limit possibilities of
immigrants
- Slide 31
- Acts of discrimination (racism, sexism, and classism) do occur
to immigrants to Canada, This is often caused by Canadians who are
ignorant of the challenges immigrants face.
