For the past 70 years, immigration to Canada has
continued growing[1];
however, the composition of this trend changed during the 1960s;
the number of immigrants from Europe and the United States
decreased while the presence of immigrants from other source
areas started growing to the point that they were the
majority of the foreign born population in 2001.[2]
The increasing demographic presence of 'visible minorities'
and foreign trained professionals demands equal access to
employment opportunities, which let them play their occupational
roles according to their qualifications and work experience, so
they can contribute to the development of this country and enjoy
the benefits of it.
Therefore, our objective is to provide an interdisciplinary
and collaborative site, where the analysis and discussion about
discrimination against highly skilled immigrants in the Canadian
job market can articulate effective proposals to eliminate systemic racism.
[3]
Canadaimmigrants.com seeks to develop and maintain
collaborative relationships with immigrants, researchers, policy
makers, and all the people involved or interested in employment
and immigration in Canada. |

Immigrants who had landed since 2001 (or very recent immigrants,
those who landed in Canada 5 or less years prior to 2006) had
the most difficulty in the labour market in 2006, followed by
those who landed between 1996 and 2001.

Is
it about
bureaucratic problems or hidden intent?
Those responsible at the federal level of implementation of
immigration policies argue that there is a large number of
applications for permanent residence, which hinder the
immigration system, if indeed this is a reality.
What is that
prevents or hinders processing such applications? What says,
does or omits on the federal government so that there is such a
backlog of applications for permanent residence? If it comes
down to administrative inefficiency -as is clear from official
statements-Why do we need immigration law? This is going to
solve the problem or is the means to close to foreigners the
doors of Canada? |

To all immigrants and potential immigrants:
Never forget that we have chosen Canada to have a better life.
Ergo, do not underestimate the value of your qualifications. Ask
for the 'right' job. By sacrificing our present, we are also
sacrificing our children's present, and consequently... their
future.
