Canada's response been historically to migration and what have been the effects?

• According to Harold Troper article edited on January 12, 2021 the story of Canadian immigration not one of orderly population growth; instead, it has been and remains one about economic development as well as Canadian attitudes and values. It has often been unashamedly economically self-serving and ethically or racially discriminatory despite contributing to creating a multicultural society. Meaning, Canada embraced wholeheartedly the concept of migration. It has been through the years and it affects positive impact in terms of economic development.

Step-by-step explanation

Push and factors are somewhat advantages and disadvantages of migration.

In pull factors of migration, I include:

• Jobs Opportunity
• Higher wages
• Good start of better life
• Concept and principles of religious tolerance
• New environment and climate

Pull factors or advantages of migration is people can explore lots of jobs opportunity to try on. People may apply what might be their profession and some may be able to do domestic jobs or explore for other jobs that suits him or her. Of course with this, people will chase for jobs with higher wages and a good start for a better life for having a new environment nor climate to start with. I include also the concept of religious tolerance where in most immigrants will let themselves to adopt and change their religions just to jive in the society they are with.

Push Factors of Migration

• Lesser Jobs opportunity
• Lower wages
• Overpopulation
• Appearance of religious persecution
• Possibility of natural disasters

While the push factors of migration or the disadvantages of it is the contrary of its pull factors. Of course, with the continues migration of immigrants, there will be overpopulation that may affect to lessen the job opportunities as well as to decrease of wages. There are also possibilities of natural disaster caused of movers since when population arise, it may affect the natural environment. I include also the appearance of religious rebellions nor persecution because of misunderstanding religion related activities.

The concept of migration the country of Canada is a well known and well lived open relationship to the diverse migrants of the county.
