canada has some of the toughest immigration laws in the developed world

what? our refugee claimant system is a joke, especially compared with some European countries. We have 4-5 times the acceptance rates of refugees then other western nations

And youre right, Lincoln, our policy needs reviision. I just finished writing 20 pages for class on why our immigraton policy is a complete failure.

Don Rizzle:
what are you concerned about canada is so big with few few people living there, its over 80 times less crowded than britain and thats no joke.

Visible minorities to top 50% in Vancouver by 2017

OTTAWA - By 2017, more than half of Vancouverites and Torontonians will likely be members of a visible minority, says Statistics Canada.

According to new government projections, 53 per cent of the population of Greater Vancouver will belong to a visible minority group by 2017 - up from 36 per cent in the 2001 census.

And the report says B.C. will have the highest proportion of visible minorities of any province in the country

The agency says sustained immigration and a higher proportion of visible minorities among new arrivals accounts for much of the change.

Other factors include a younger population, which results in fewer deaths and higher birth rates for visible minorities than for the rest of the population.

Projections show that the median age of visible minorities will be approximately 35.5 in 2017, about four years higher than it was in 2001. In contrast, the median age of the rest of the population will be 43.4 years, nearly six years higher than it was in 2001.

Across Canada, one out of every five people, or between 6.3 million and 8.5 million, could be a member of a visible minority by 2017.

That represents an increase ranging from 56 per cent to 111 per cent from 2001, when their number was estimated at about four million.

Statistics Canada's study defines visible minorities according to the Employment Equity Act - "persons, other than Aboriginal persons 'who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour.' "

The 10 groups listed include Chinese, South Asian (including East Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan), Black, Filipino, Latin American, Southeast Asian (including Cambodian, Indonesian, Laotian and Vietnamese), Arab, West Asian (including Afghan and Iranian), Japanese and Korean.




Vancouver is better  :P lol
