About
half a million of immigrants, refugees, foreign workers who hit Canadian borders
are not passive about life; they are not dead men walking. They are alive,
young and full of dreams. They want to turn their dream of a perfect, stable,
prosperous and peaceful life into reality. They are the ones who contribute in
majority to the Canadian population growth rate which is 5.9% annually. He/she
is a hard worker which is evident by their resume and documents furnished for
immigration purpose. They were evaluated by following a procedure which
assessed them as the best candidates to be future promising Canadian citizens. How
can it be assumed that a person who is productive in some other part of the
world cannot be productive in Canada? In fact, he has to be more productive in
order to regain all the loss incurred due to his displacement. He has to be in
his best form (psychologically, emotionally and physically) to do his best in a
new country. He will definitely perform well if he gets a conducive, friendly
atmosphere to work and grow in.
Instead
of spending millions on futile Settlement Workers in the country, Government
should give benefits to the employers who hire new immigrants. They should be
given a tax benefit/relief in proportionate to the hired new immigrant worker.
Such policies will remove all negative environment opposed to immigrants which
compels them to think otherwise or work on a minimum wage which is a disgrace
to an immigrant. Minimum wage will keep him alive but will break him from
inside and eliminate his enthusiasm to be a part of a first world economy. Forcing
new immigrants to work on minimum wages is a treacherous farce of the Canadian-
American dream. It’s actually a trap just to keep him alive and allow him to
die without a home, car and household gadgets, all of which a common person
dreams of.
