Immigrant Workers

The classic image of the immigrant worker – a temporary and solitary transplant moved from an archaic and rural society to an industrialized urban nation, seeking an improvement in his or her socio-economic situation before returning to his or her country – is an outdated representation. At the same time, there is frequently no low-cost housing for immigrants in Canada, and the Canadian government may refuse entry for a family member whose health condition could place an excessive financial burden on the public.

Also, the Canadian government wishes to avoid the negative repercussions which may arise from poorly controlled immigration. Hence, throughout the last few years, the Canadian government has been concerned about the conditions of integration. Some specific circumstances also contribute to the development of the lives of immigrants beyond the initial immigration phase.

As a place of rupture, school is also for the transplanted child a moment of encounter. There he encounters unknown educational constraints and rules. There is a different conceptual system and, above all, this opposition of the two languages, of capital interest concerning the question of an immigrant’s identity.

Conclusion

Thus, an immigrant can immigrate to Canada without having to deal with the same level of bureaucracy that existed before the existence of the Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS). Also, the Canadian government understands the importance of the relationships of immigrants. Remember, concerning the children of immigrants, there is no doubt that their integration contributes to their social mobility.
