What Are the Changes that Chinese Immigrants Brought to Canada in the Past Decades?

Over the past few decades more and more Asian immigrants gathered in Canada. "As we all know, many Canadian immigrants recently chose to live in Canada's largest city, in particular Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal" (McDonald, 2004). The People's Republic of China always occupies the leading position in all the birthplaces of Canadian immigrants in recent years. The Chinese are "clear ethnic minorities" in Canada society.

For decades, the Chinese migrated to Canada until the 1870s, but as the continental railroad workers promised to bring many Chinese to Canada, the interpretation of the arrival of Chinese immigrants Was a desire to migrate to Vancouver. Railway owners believe that they should hire Asian railway employees, as no one else should do harmful and difficult jobs of railway construction. - Over the past few decades, more and more Asian immigrants are moving to Canada. "As we all know, many Canadian immigrants recently chose to live in Canada's largest city, in particular Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal" (McDonald, 2004). In recent years, the People's Republic of China has always been a leader in all births of Canadian immigrants.

In recent years, the number of Canadian immigrants has increased dramatically. Asians are the biggest group to arrive in Canada recently. In 1986 and 1991 there were 819,000 immigrants in Canada, 19% of which were children under the age of 12. (New Canadian children) Currently, Asians are the fastest growing population in Canada. Asian immigrants include Indian, Chinese and others. In the past 20 years, there are the most Asian immigrants in Canada in China.

In the past 20 years the number of international migrants has increased (2004 UN High Commissioner for Refugees). Canada accepts 28,000 refugees and 235,215 immigrants each year (Canadian Citizenship and Immigration, 2009). For immigration, 18% of the Canadian current population is born in other countries; 70% of the new Canadians are regarded as visible minority members (Statistics Canada, 2005). New evidence suggests solutions and integration challenges for new immigrants, including lack of social support and health problems (Simich et al., 2003; Stewart et al., 2008). Despite the immigration policy, background changes such as immigrants and refugees have faced similar settlement issues in the past 50 years (Beiser, 1988; Balgopal, 2000). New immigrants have exacerbated many support barriers in government reduction to support social welfare services (Gagnon, 2002)
