Furthermore, each year, the U.S. government only issues 65,000 new H-1B visa, which is a small portion of the total number of applicants who apply. In recent years, “USCIS instituted a “lottery” system for accepting applications because more than 65,000 regular H-1Bs were received on the first possible day of filing”. This process is entirely random, and any qualified international student can be turned down because of mere chance. The fact that the number of applicants far exceeds the number of…

Market failure was originally presented in chapter one of ‘Media Policy in Canada.’ Market failure is the concept that our small markets in Canada are unable to provide enough of our own domestic media products to produce sufficient profits. Market failure is not the absence of commercial success of media content, but instead, the failure of the market entirely as a whole at what markets are believed to do best; it is the failure to lead to the utmost best possible outcome for the highest number…

immigration to Canada during the 19th and early 20th century provided multiple issues to Canadians. After the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Asian labour was no longer perceived to be necessary for the country. Asians were then forced to compete with Canadians and would accept lower wages and standards of living. This, in turn, increased domestic unemployment rates and decreased the standards of life of Canadian workers. Although many other immigrants have arrived in Canada in its…

According to a 2012 Canadian Labour Market Report,…
