As a major immigrant receiving country, Canada is in many ways a case study in a key concept in population geography: migration.movement. Considering some of the different forms of migration discussed in Knox et al. (2015) (and drawing on examples), what are some key push and pull factors of migration? What has Canada's response been historically to migration and what have been the effects?

Answer:

It is true that Canada is becoming a new place for immigrant-receiving countries which makes it a popular destination for the people around the world.

As far as immigration is concerned in Canada, it is due to some of the following reasons which are as follows:

• Huge opportunities in this country for the people of the world
• The respect for the cultural diversity
• As well as quality education in this country makes this country favorite destination.

There are various types of migration which are as follows:

• internal migration
• international migration and many more

In Canada, both internal, as well as international migration, took place for the better opportunities.

Some of the push and pull factors in the migration are as follows:

• low production
• slow down in the economy
• natural disaster and many more

Canada has opened its country for the people of the world and this brings the cheap labor to this country and becoming the production hub and this makes the economy boom and this was the main aim of this country. And this has both positive and negative impacts but still, it is successful in Canada.
