Immigration

they took all of our jobs.

-------

The above answer is one of many.

More than 20% of the Canadian population is Foreign-born, immigrants. We call them First Generation Canadian because once a person has citizenship they have all the rights of multi-generational Canadians. They can hold any position or job, and even become our leader, head of state or supreme court judge.

They also have all the responsibilities of Canadians which many are not comfortable with. Of course multi-generational Canadians are not comfortable with many of those responsibilities, so that is very Canadian.

When it comes to the affect on Canada it is almost impossible to overstate. With 20% being immigrants, concentrated in our major centres they and their children easily make up the majority in many areas. Due to multi-generational Canadians very low birth rate, and First Generation Canadians very high birth rate the majority of people in Canada are going to be, if they are not already, first or second generation Canadian.

Those majority numbers have a much greater affect than they would in many other nations because multi-generational Canadians have a loose culture a very open acceptance of others. This is why Canada has so many immigrants, we tend to have a live and let live view of society and do not force our views on others as most other cultures and countries do.

Not all of us of course. French Canadians have a much tighter culture and do everything they can to mold immigrants and all Canadians to their ideas. Fortunately for Canada most of their power over people is isolated to Quebec and there people will find many cultural rules and laws that do not exist elsewhere in Canada.

In most of Canada Immigrants are not required to adopt a Multi-generational Canadian culture or view point. They are free to use their own language, set up their own houses of worship, attend schools of their own choice, and are encouraged to take part in politics to shape communities and Canada as they wish.

Many immigrants confuse this freedom with there being no "Canada" in many ways. It is difficult for some to conceive of a culture that would allow such things. Their culture or country would not be so welcoming. Sometimes they view Canada as weak, something that needs more rules and culture. That is affecting Canada in many ways, particularly those who have deep roots in the land and have a loose, quiet, live and let live, culture.

A recent example is the controversial topic of gun control. Most Canadians being first or second generation have a view of firearms based on their own culture and history. Their time in Canada is almost always in Urban centres. Many have negative views of firearms and see them something only government agents or criminals use or own. They can not see firearms as tools, may not even have heard of such a thing. Even multi-generational Canadians often see firearms as weapons particularly if their family has deep urban roots.

On the other hand most multi-generational Canadians outside of the urban centres (and Quebec) see firearms as tools. A part of their deep culture and history in the land. Canada was explored and settled with firearms, even today firearms are part of traveling and living in much of Canada. These Canadians can show continuous firearm ownership in their family dating back hundreds of years. Guns are part of who they are, where they came from, a tool like a canoe and like a canoe part of their culture past and present.

But these Canadians are quiet about their culture, particularly if they are not Aboriginal. They do not force their culture on others and tend to be accommodating to others view points. This has resulted in them facing increasing restrictions on their cultural right to own and use firearms.

The large number of immigrants, who are unaware of such cultural issues, due in part to their own history, our proximity to the USA and anti-gun lobbies in Canada, make the exercise of these cultural Canadian rights more difficult. They often support more gun laws which are a direct attack on many Canadians cultural rights. Something that if that happened to them would result in a loud and major outcry. Since our culture is much quieter they tend misunderstand our response.

I think that debate and the successes against Canadian cultures who have a deep history of firearm use and ownership show some of the affects of immigration. They have or are shifting traditional political powers, and are shaping Canada in many other ways.

Immigrants are changing Canada into their Canada, they and their children are already or soon to be the majority, they are going to be traditional multi-generational Canadians within a few short decades.

It may not be so much a question of how have immigrants affected Canada but what affect did Canada have on them, on their Canada. Just as yesterdays Canada was created by immigrants from the 1600's, tomorrows Canada will be created by the immigrants of the late 20th and early 21st century. There can be no larger affect.

Canadians need to apply for a visa before arrival there.

Immigration of the mid-1800s had the affect of greatly increasing the size of cities in the US. Many of the immigrants moved into cities to be near work and to be near family.

Yes. He should have had his wife start the procedures to sponsor his citizenship when they got married. If she knew he was illegal, she, too, could face criminal charges for housing an illegal alien. Since no illegal can enter into a legally binding contract, the marriage may not be legal either.

For immigration to Sweden Plz go through that link u will get infomation

http://www.swedenvisas.com/

you have two options:
one is to get visa code from Vietnamese embassies located in Ottawa. You will have to wait for 3 to 5 days for your visa code depending on your purposes to Vietnam.
the second way is to get it online from a Vietnamese visa service. This is called visa on arrival, which is a bit cheaper and faster than visa code. It takes you about 2 days for normal service and 1 days for urgency.

Currently you must have photographic ID. If you do not have a passport, you should carry a certified copy of your birth certificate. Within the next few years, you will be required to have a passport.

== I grew up in Buffalo, NY and used to go to Canada a few times a year. We never needed anything more than a drivers license or another form of picture ID, and they rarley asked for that. The drill went: Border Patrol: Citizenship? Us: U.S Them: Reason for visiting Canada? Us: Beach/Casino/shopping (you get the point) Them: Are you bringing anything into Canada? Us: We have a cooler for the beach. (we never claimned purses or little bags) Them: Enjoy your stay. Coming back is a little tougher, US patrol might ask you to pop the trunk or ask for ID. And if you've been there for more then a day they will ask what you brought back with you, you'll have to pay a tax on it. Just be very nice, turn your radio down, do not give rude answers, and dont lie. If you bought something claim it, if you have luggage in the trunk say so! I know a guy who was asked "Where were you born?" at the border, he answered "In a hospital" They had his entire car taken apart ( I mean wheels off, engine out, doors off)less then two hours later, tossed him the keys and said "You're free to go!" Just because he was a jerk.

Since 2001, there has been between 221,350 and 262,230 immigrants per annum

No. they dont

Nigeria is not any dangerous country...it is good to confirm before generalising it to the public so therefore i would advice anybody who is trying to blacklist my country to try his or her possible best to use his or her brain.

No, You can only become a citizen if you apply for you citizenship through immigration. Being a legal resident and married to an American citizen can and will not change your immigrant statics unless you go through the right process.

what documents does a us citizen need to reenter us after visiting canada?

-answer-

This depends on the border crossing.

For the most part you need to show that you are a US Citizen. Usually, just a drivers liscense and vehicle registration with a car that has US plates and you not talking with a 'canadian' accent.

If you are not the typical 'easy to identify' American, but naturalized or something, then you need a copy of your naturalization papers or some other documentation like a passport or something to show you are allowed legally in this country.

So, it may be easy to leave the US without the correct documentation, but its harder to get back in without it.

Mexicans and people of any nationality should NOT be allowed to cross the U.S. borders illegally, and they certainly should NOT be allowed to stay in the U.S. if found. On the other hand, not all Mexicans are entering the U.S. illegally. Those who enter the U.S. legally should be welcome in the country.

I believe Raymond Lam is on the rise this year, he won most improved award for 2007. Moses Chan, Bernice Liu, and Charmaine Sheh are also popular actors and actresses that reported as the top paid celebrity in the entertainment industry. I am a big fan of tvb therefore I can go on forever...Bosco Wong is also being promoted, as well as Linda Chung. Myolie Wu has been promoted several years ago, and is still doing great in the industry. To wrap it all up, those are the main people who are popular with hk audiences. As for taiwan, the most popular actor is probably ming dao.

A US resident can drink in Canada, if he/she is of the legal drinking age. The legal drinking age in Canada is 18 or 19, depending on where you are.

Underage drinking by 16-17 year olds under parental supervision is permitted in Manitoba.

That information will vary and no fixed period can be found. Please contact the South African embassy in the USA for further information or visit the related links below.

No; only diplomatic staff requires a visa to enter Mexico.

they were treated like all the other European immigrants that came to America. (but mostly treated unfairly)

According to NASA it seems that MARS chocolate bars are what they eat.
