Canadian Immigration
- mom came to Canada in 1994
- dad came to Canada in 1989
- were part of a large group of Chinese immigrants that arrived in the years after 1980
The Movement of Chinese Immigrants
- many Chinese people decided to move to Canada because of the low living standards in China back then
- undeveloped economy leading to low incomes
- on the other hand, Canada welcomed immigrants because Canada wanted to increase the workforce, many job opportunities and higher standard of living
About My Family
- chinese background
- I was born in Canada
- mom and dad both born in China and immigrated to Canada
Pull Factors of Canada
Mom:
- higher quality of living
- better education and health system, healthier environment
- Canadian government accepted immigrants easily compared to U.S.
Dad:
- liked Canada, decided to stay
Push Factors of China
Mom:
- like many others, left because of low quality of living
- wanted a better future for children
Why Ontario?
- many big flourishing cities like Toronto are in Ontario
- big cities = more job opportunities
- the most multicultural province
Dad:
- part of a learning program to go to Canada and see the outside world
- wanted a better learning experience
Conclusion
My future prediction:
- there will be a steady rate of Chinese immigrants because China's population is increasing rapidly
- more people in China = more people who want to move to a country with a smaller population, higher standard of living, etc.
- Canada is a great country for immigrants because of its multiculturalism resulting in fewer cultural barriers
The Impact of Chinese Culture
Chinese Culture Overview
- in Toronto alone, there are more than 500 000 Chinese - Canadians (created a China Town)
- add diversity, attract tourism
- contribute to the community
- one of the oldest and most complex cultures in the world, influenced by China's long history and diverse ethnic groups
- important components: literature, music, visual arts, martial arts, cuisine, religion, etc.
Literature:
- poetry, calligraphy, novels
Cuisine:
- famous delicious dishes (ex. Peking BBQ duck)
- spend a lot of time on preparing food
- each region has its own style of cooking
Religion:
- Buddhism and Taoism, however a lot of Chinese people are Atheists because in recent history, the government did not allow any other religions except Communism
