[color=red]Canada defies trend, attracts more immigrants
[/color]
Canada, 15th November: Canadian province Manitoba has won power to invite increasing number of immigrants resulting in making itself a hub of Punjabi youth.
And this is primarily due to the fact that while other Western nations seem to be caught in the web of anti-immigrant vibes, Winnipeg(Manitoba) distinguishes itself by being an immigrant-friendly province for the semi-skilled immigrant workers.
Canada happens to be among the few nations with high immigrants per capita and that too, without any fuss.
As per Manitoba’s immigration minister Jennifer Howard, he did expect some backlash when he assumed charged of his present portfolio, however, he feels elated that on the contrary, the common notion among Manitoba natives is to find ways to bring in more immigrants into this Canadian province.
Nearly 600 new immigrants in this province learn that they can look forward to enjoying the right to live, liberty and security in Manitoba.
So, its love and friendly behaviour towards immigrants coming to this Canadian town, admits 34-year-old new immigrant and a procurement professional from Nigeria. Olusegun Daodu stated that Manitoba is indeed true to its license plates saying ‘Friendly Manitoba’ where its difficult to find arrogance towards new immigrants.
Since the 1960s when Canada did two major changes in its immigration system, including creation of a points system that gives preference to highly skilled foreigner workers and abolishing rules that did not allow non-whites into the nation. As a result, Canada has become home to increasing number of minorities hailing from nations like India, China and the Philippines.
The current immigration rules allow Canada to invite almost twice the number of immigrants over its population as compared to the US.
Canada is interested in its growth and development and the nation’s points system helps the Canadians understand that the current number of newcomers allowed into the nation are in accordance with the requirements of the country.
Moreover, in Canada, it can be politically risky to demonstrate against immigration since 20 percent of Canadians happen to be foreign-born and get voting righs and Canada citizenship quite early.
No doubt, Canada does have some sort of complaints against the newcomers for increasing housing costs and congestion especially in towns including Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto. But, that does not take away from Canada its friendly and multicultural title.
