Research paper related to Canada’s immigration policy
historical overview of Canada’s immigration policy in different political eras from prospective of desirable and undesirable immigrants as an echo of immigration policy rooted deeply in racism
Your task is to write a persuasive essay outlining your position on historical overview of Canada’s immigration policy in different political eras from the prospective of “desirable” and “undesirable” immigrants as an echo of immigration policy rooted deeply in racism.
Here are some Guiding Questions to help with your research for your essay:
• What role did racism play in Canadian immigration policy?
• What impact did the Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 – as the first piece of Canadian legislation to exclude immigrants on the basis of their ethnic origin – have on immigration to Canada?
• What impact did the Canadian Citizenship Act of 1946 have on immigrants to Canada?
• What changes in policy were reflected in the Immigration Act of 1978, and what impact did they have on Canadian heritage?
• What changes did the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) of 2002 bring to immigration and refugee system of Canada?
It is extremely important that you take these guiding question only as possible framework for your research pertaining to the topic of your essay. However, you should not limit yourself to these questions only, and you cannot use them as kind of questioner, which is begging your answers, but as a roadmap to elaborate your main ideas on a given topic.
Please pay attention to the structure of your assignments/essays since that structure will be very important also in your practice tomorrow as immigration consultants while writing your submissions; cover letters; or even e-mails. Everything has to have a good, logical structure, and be well and properly written (what assumes the structure of academic essay).
All in all, your task is to you write:
1. An informative introduction (in which you will thoroughly introduce what you are going to write about for this particular assignment/essay);
2. A few supporting transitional and cohesive paragraphs (in which you will develop ideas from your introduction);
3. A very strong conclusion (in which you will summarize what you wrote about – not repeat but summarize – and in which you will include your strong personal position pertaining to the topic of your assignment/essay, without introducing some new ideas that you didn’t write about in your assignment/essay, and without finishing it with some quotation, since that will give an impression to your reader that you didn’t have your own idea how to finish your essay).
