    Migrant Workers and the children of those who have immigrated to Canada, face countless issues with their human rights. The rights that should be entitled to them are denied and taken away, and they are treated as less than human. Migrant workers in many cases have faced numerous violations of their rights, and have been abused in a variety of different ways. The employers that hire them often abuse them without any repercussions from the law or the government. The reason behind this lack of action is because the system used to monitor their rights is a complaint system used by most provinces (Leo 2014).…

    Canada has not always been the prime example of a human rights haven. From roughly 1884 to as late as 1996, the Canadian government operated so called “Indian Residential Schools”. In all, 150,000 native Canadian children belonging to various tribes were forcibly removed from their homes and taken to various residential schools across Canada in a savage attempt to assimilate them into Canadian society. The planned agenda was to teach them values of the Christian faith, and teach them how to read and write English; however many children were subject to severe physical, psychological, and sexual abuse.2 Over 4,000 children died while attending the schools, and the vast majority of the survivors still suffer post traumatic stress disorder.…

    Canada should increase the percentage of economic class immigrants coming in, because they not only support our economy and identity, but also boost foreign relationships. Since 1497, when John Cabot led the first expedition into what would later become Canada, the country has welcomed immigrants with open arms. Migrants are useful in many ways, especially in the Canadian workforce, though they do have several drawbacks as well, some of which include crowding in urban areas, criminal activity, and susceptibility to cheap labour. While a study in 2011 found that immigrants do, on average, make significantly less money than Canadian citizens, and do tend to crowd developed areas, there have been few obvious links between crime and migration.…

    If the world were to go back a hundred years from now Canada would have been a developing country that had yet to gain the title of being a humanitarian nation. Over the last Century, Canada has not proven itself to be a humanitarian nation. A humanitarian nation is a country that is greatly concerned with and is willing to seek the need to promote human welfare. Canada was not worthy of being called a humanitarian country due to the events that occurred during the previous century.

    Immigration policies are comprised of the acts and regulations that affect which foreigners may enter the country and ultimately, be granted citizenship. Historically, Canadian immigration policies have favoured white immigrants. This preference is explicitly demonstrated through the classification of immigrants as ‘desirable’ and ‘undesirable’. Canadian immigration policies have been a major factor in shaping the development of the country, with policies being designed to fit the country’s economic needs of the time. Referencing the timeline of Ismaili’s four phases of immigration, this essay will support the critiques which state that Canada’s immigration policies, both past and present, have been discriminatory and racist in practice.…

    Many are sanctioned to discrimination and subject to horrendous punishment and torture, direct violations of article five and seven. If a country can fulfill all human rights for their people, and they are capable of doing so for others, it is their moral imperative to protect the human rights of refugees.
