"melting Pot" is used in the USA because it is expected for all the new immigrants to blend together to make it one country, one language under one law and government which of course is a great idea but does not always work.
Cultural mosaic in Canada is that people hold on to their own traditions, their own way of dress etc. this does not always work either, most people in Canada would also like immigrants to blend and adopt Canada's way of life, so this is also a question for discussion and debate.
The terms "cultural mosaic," "salad bowl," and "melting pot" describe different ways of understanding cultural diversity in America. A "melting pot" suggests that various cultures blend together to form a single, unified identity, much like metals melting into an alloy. In contrast, a "cultural mosaic" or "salad bowl" emphasizes the coexistence of distinct cultures that maintain their unique characteristics while contributing to a diverse society, akin to the individual ingredients in a salad that retain their identity. Each metaphor reflects different perspectives on how multiculturalism shapes the American identity.
Canadian Mosaic was created in 1938.
A disadvantage of a cultural mosaic is the potential for segregation and exclusion among different cultural groups, leading to social division and lack of cohesion within society. This can create barriers to communication and understanding between different cultures, hindering the development of a unified national identity.
it is a mosaic that expresses cultural background. a person who is a devout catholic may have a picture of a church for example.

Canada is considered a "mosaic" because it does not force new immigrants to assimilate into Canadian society, encouraging them to keep their culture. This is in contrast to the USA which follows a "melting pot" where newcomers feel forced to assimilate and become Americans.
