Immigration matters in Canada

Canada is one of the best humanitarian country for immigrants and refugees. The history of Canadian immigrations is not only the orderly population growth but also economic development as well as Canadian attitudes and values. In fact, the modern Canada has been built on the migration and contributions of many immigrant groups, beginning with the first French settlers, through newcomers from the United Kingdom, Central Europe, the Caribbean and Africa, to immigrants from Asia and the Middle East. Right now, 300,000 new immigrants have been welcomed by Canada annually.

During the Covid pandemic, the number of new immigrant decrease dramatically. Canada welcomed only 184000 new immigrants in 2020 which fell to the lowest level since 1998. If the world situation did not change, immigrants number will not be up to the target.

Canada is also one of the prominent humanitarian country in the world. It has a history of receiving refugee from all over the word. The number of refugee claim was also decreased during the pandemic. As per the government statistics, 23875 people did the refugee claimant in 2020 whereas it was 64040 in 2019. So far, only 7005 people did the refugee claim in 2021 (From Jan to Jun). There is also decreasing trend in refugee claimant. As on 31 March 2021, Canada have 136600 pending claims. Canada have also undocumented immigrant of around 120000. So, the total number of pending claims and undocumented immigrants are 256600 (approx.).

People who have failed pending claims, may be waiting for over 3 to 10 years or more. They already know the Canadian cultures and values. Although their claims did not meet the Canadian Standard, they never stop their contribution towards the Canadian. Many families are also raising Canadian babies for future Canada. They are used to working hard and trying their best to create a tie with Canada as they can be granted PR under Humanitarian & Compassionate ground.

People who don’t have documents in Canada, have also been living in Canada years after years. They also know the Canadian value and Canadian culture. They came in Canada for the better life and better future. Although they can not contribute to Government directly by tax, they are serving Canadian for maintaining their day to day life. They are also not entitled for any Canadian benefits except the emergency treatment.

Undocumented and failed refugee claimants have been suffering a lot year after year for their uncertain life. Covid pandemic makes them depressed mentally & physically more. Deporting them during pandemic may be deadly for all individual. On the other hand, deporting people (during the pandemic) really do not match with the history of Canadians’ humanitarian and compassionate value.

Canada could not fill up their immigrants’ target in 2020. It will be also difficult in 2021 too. If Canada give the PR status these 256600 people with any conditions, these failed refugees & undocumented people will not let Canada down. In fact, they can give their 100% abilities to the Canadian Government for building the greatest Canada.

Strategy is the key to success of a company. According to Gavetti G and Rivkin J.W, “the heart of any company’s strategy is what choose to do and not do.” A lot of models are given by the legend of strategy makers. AAA triangle is one of them.

Aggregation works for creating regional and global operation. When organizations become able to establish their products, they need to use this strategy for further growth. They c...

H & C basis and My Immigration History

Canada is a country of immigrants. People from all over the world want to come in Canada at any how. But why do people want to come in Canada? Although there are different perspectives to every individual, the common answer is for the Canada’s humanitarian & compassionate value. They have also a good system which ensures the rights of every individual human being & animal. Canada has also the best immigration systems. They have more than 60 immigration programs. Humanitarians & Compassionate ground is one of them. People received permanent residency through the H & C ground if they win the refugee cases. People also get the PR under the H & C ground without winning the refugee case. But it depends on the humanitarian ground & discretionary power of immigration officer. Before granting the PR under H & C ground (without winning the refugee case), the immigration officer will consider the following things: 1.       How settled the person is i...

Mandatory Covid vaccination or Anti-vaccination?

Vaccine provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. Edward Jenner, British doctor, was the first who ran his research to protect against smallpox in scientific manner in 1796 and successfully developed the smallpox vaccine. Since then, whenever we faced any pandemic, scientists and medical doctors tried to make the vaccine for that specific disease. And, they became successful many times over the 18th and 19th centuries. We culminated smallpox, cholera, polio and many more diseases.       It looks like inventing vaccines is a blessing for humanity. But, why do people go against vaccine? The most common reasons are: 1.      #  Side effects of vaccination 2.      #  Goes against the freedom 3.      #  Testing process of vaccine 4.      #  Waiting for trustworthy brand 5.      #  Pre-existing health condition 6.      #...
