A definitive guide to a perplexing and increasingly polarized topic, Immigration and Canada distills the latest research into a highly accessible account, explaining how Canada’s immigration system works both domestically and within the context of international migration, and how profoundly it shapes the lives of newcomers and the fabric of Canadian society.
Written for readers with little familiarity of the field, the book’s lively Q&A format delivers information concisely, without sacrificing analytical depth. As well as providing a helpful backgrounder, the authors address more complex and delicate questions – Is immigration good for the economy? Are immigrants learning the official languages? Are immigrants driving the housing crisis? Is Canadian immigration policy still racially biased? – responding with clear, evidence-based analysis. This primer offers a welcome understanding of Canada’s immigration system, its historical development and current pressures, the politics of immigration across the country including Quebec, and the critical data on immigration and integration trends.
Amid widespread misinformation, Immigration and Canada fosters informed debate on one of today’s most topical issues.
