Steps to Immigration Process: 1. Apply from own country (or from within Canada, if on work visa) 2. Pay the fee ($390+) 3. Medical Examination 4. Background / Criminal Check 5. Land in Canada and pay the "Landed Immigrant Fee" of $490 per person Other notes The Singh Decision - Mr. Singh applied to be a refugee. - He was denied refugee status based on the Immigration Act of 1976. - Mr. Singh said that this violated his rights, based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person, and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principals of fundamental justice... saying that by denying his safe entrance and making him go back to India, Canada was taking away his right to safety, and possible even his right to life. - The Supreme Court agreed with him RESULT - People who claim refugee status in Canada have the right to a hearing, in person. - The Immigration and Refugee Board is who listens to those hearings. - The government provides people seeking refugee status with the necessities of life while they wait for their turn at a hearing. - This decision resulted in some potential tensions... why? Aboriginal Peoples and Immigration - FNMI are partners with Canada, based on the signed treaties. As such they should be consulted prior to large decisions. - Some Aboriginal people still struggle to have the necessities of life, such as proper shelter and drinking water. - Many Aboriginal people also struggle with finding ways to fully participate in Canada's economy, such as by being skilled workers. They often do not have the opportunity to learn to be skilled workers and professionals. - The Government of Canada is spending money on finding immigrants to fill these roles... So the Assembly of First Nations asked why the government doesn't spend that money helping Aboriginals fill those roles first. - In 2005 the Assembly of First Nations motioned to put a freeze on all immigration coming into Canada until the government officially recognizes and commits to helping FNMI people fill these important roles. Spreading the Love - Majority of immigrants move to large cities: 39% in Toronto, 15% in Montreal, 14% in Vancouver in 2007. - Government created a five-year program with incentives to help spread immigrants across more provinces, and to smaller towns. Provincial Nomination Program - Provinces can "nominate" a percentage of the immigrants that Canada accepts each year who have specific skills. - Provinces can also set up immigration offices in foreign countries. - Alberta receives 8% of all immigrants to Canada. - Canada cannot make immigrants settle in a specific region or do a specific job (why not?) but can make this more likely to happen. Canada-Quebec Accord - Quebec can nominate the percentage of immigrants to Canada that corresponds to its population. - Also allows Quebec to require immigrants who settle in Quebec to send their kids to French school.
- Canada has also set up a system to try and attract French-speaking immigrants to other province (such as Alberta) PART 1-Emotional Regulation
