Beskrivning

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 unfamiliar with the field, the book delivers information concisely in a lively Q&A format, 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 critical data on immigration and integration trends.Amid widespread misinformation, Immigration and Canada fosters informed debate on one of today’s most topical issues.

Recensioner i media

“There’s so much at stake for the entire country if we let immigration policy be swayed by misinformation. This creative book brings the best academic research to ordinary Canadians, illuminating the complex phenomenon of immigration as a social institution, just like education and the judicial systems.” - Nicholas Keung, reporter, The Toronto Star “This important book engages the public where it is at – curious, perhaps even skeptical, about immigration. Approachably written, Immigration and Canada is an evidence-based resource on a topic that is politicized and widely misunderstood.” - Christina Clark-Kazak, editor of Forced Migration in/to Canada: From Colonization to Refugee Resettlement “An outstanding book, balanced in its coverage and even-handed in its assessment of the strengths and current challenges of our immigration system.” - Vic Satzewich, author of Points of Entry: How Canada’s Immigration Officers Decide Who Gets In
