Migration in Canada

Canada has experienced since its beginnings very different migrations patterns, in the XIX century it lacked of that pull factor in order to bring people to inhabit the wild territory of this emerging nation, besides certain policies that favored the migration of particular nationalities mainly from western Europe (Britain, Wales and Scotland) and USA, that conformed mainly the first wave of migrations to this country; as the country’s economy progressed and new reasons to immigrated emerged, Canada managed to become one of the greatest receiver of people in the world, taking advantage of the push factors that other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin American have experienced, making Canada a territory that benefits not only of the migration of high skilled people but also their families, refugees and independents.

- Canada through the years has become more lax in its migration system due to its low birth rate, the country started to become more aware of the problems that it could face in the future, so controlled migration is a way to make the system works.

- The good standards of living, great job opportunities and excellent integration policies are the main pull factors that make people considered Canada as the best place to explore those wishes of having a better life.

- Canada will have to continue sponsor migration and integration in order to continue growing, besides facing the problems of new developing economies that offer new possibilities for people to stay, and countries like USA that allure even Canadian people to move there for better job opportunities.

I think that Canada has evolved to create a really multiculturalism approach within its territory, that’s why it has succeeded in its migration policies, making a really pull factor for people to go there, besides the great opportunities for better life quality, integration has helped to create a better understanding of how migration should be treated in order to avoid problems, and make things easier for those who leave their home country, I believe that in the short term Canada will continue to controlled its migration standards but as the document stated as long as new developing countries manage to create better job opportunities Canada will face some “competition” in order to maintain a normal growing population rate.
