what is immigration? Immigration is the act of relocating to another country or region.An immigrant is a person who intends to stay temporarily or permanently, in contrast to a casual visitor or traveler.The conditions World Immigration Map The University of Sheffield has an interesting map of the world, where countries are resized in proportion to their net immigration figure.It is part of their World Mapper Project.The US, Western Europe, and the Arabian Peninsula are dramatically larger.Italy can hardly be seen.And what is that large bubble in Northern Africa? Lybia? The Netherlands and Belgium are each almost as large as the UK, which might come as a surprise considering that sometimes illegal immigrants are caught on trucks in Belgium while on their way to the UK, which seems like the promised land to a lot of(illegal)immigrants.But of course, this map does not tell everything.It only shows legal immigration, not the illegal part.Furthermore, in the US and on the Arabian peninsula, the needs of the economy are at the center of sophisticated immigration policies.In Western Europe, immigration is mostly centered around political asylum for refugees, and on the reunification of families.Statistics The International Organization for Migration said there are more than 200 million migrants around the world today.Europe hosted the largest number of immigrants, with 70.6 million people.North America, with over 45.1 million immigrants, is second, followed by Asia, which hosts nearly 25.3 million.Most of today's migrant workers come from Asia.The United Nations estimates that there are 214 million migrants acro the globe, an increase of about 37% in two decades.Building the Canadian Pacific Railway Canada needed a railway that would stretch from one side of the country to the other.The land in some area was mountainous, making the work difficult and dangerous.Workers were in short supply.Between 1881 and 1884, as many as 17 000 Chinese men came to work as labourers on the Canadian Pacific Railway.Chinese workers were given the most back-breaking and dangerous work to do.They cleared and graded the railway's roadbed.They blasted tunnels through the rock.There were accidents, fires and disasters.Landslides and dynamite blasts killed many.There was no proper medical care and many Chinese workers depended on herbal cures to help them.…There were Chinese gold-seekers despite restrictions on immigration from the government of China ?in fact more than a hundred thousand Chinese people came to Australia between 1840 and 1890.Extreme poverty, war or the increasing population in China prompted many of these workers to come seek a living elsewhere.When the gold rush reached its peak in Victoria the Chinese population was more than 33,000 out of the total of over 171,000.They were working on the dig as either laborers or set up small businees of their own.Because Chinese customs were so different from Australia, the Chinese suffered from xenophobia and were discriminated against.This led to many disputes and the eventual expulsion of Chinese immigrants from the towns in the 1860s.Poll taxes and other anti-Chinese measures were employed meanwhile.Eventually the government began simply restricting Chinese immigration.CANADA is a country built by immigrants and always welcomes qualified new immigrants to keep Canada thriving.In the history,some immigrations changed into colonizations,then tend to be invasions, effects IMPORTANT NEW STUDY ON EFFECTS OF IMMIGRATION RELEASED BY NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES the study's most important finding seems to be that immigration has an overall positive effect on the economy.Immigrants may be adding as much as $10 billion to the economy each year.immigrant labor allows many goods and servces to be produced more cheaply, and provides the work force for some businees that otherwise could not exist such as America's texttile and agricultural industries.benefits our country benefits from immigrants because we keep their tax money.We pay them a little bit and in the proce end up with more profits.Immigrants tend to be hardworkers and will do the jobs most people wouldn't do.For example, Field work.I couldn't last an eight hour shift in the fields, under the blazing hot sun, and getting payed minimum wage for it.Forget it!I have no idea what the government is doing with all the immigrants' money but our economy should've been stable by now.trends A clear trend has developed since 2006.Asian countries such as China and India have dominated the main sources of immigrants for Canada in the last 15 years, except a few years when some extraordinary widespreading events had happened such as the financial crisis in 1996/97, the 9/11 in 2001 and SARS in 2003.The trend has remained upward until 2006.the number of Chinese and Indian immigrants since 2006 has dropped 36.1% and 21.4%, respectively.On the other hand, European countries that haven’t been sending us many immigrants for the last three decades suddenly see a surge in immigrants.The number for UK, for example, jumped 38.6% between 2005 and 2007.Similar up trend can also be observed for France and the US.where`s your destination if you will no longer stay in homeland? The United Arab Emirates? Australia? Europe?Hongkong?korea?switzerland?great britain?agentina?japan?lybia?Irland?Brazil?Canada or Germany?
My dreamland——New Zealand With a temperate climate, and stunning variations in our geography-all surrounded by the Pacific and Tasman Oceans – people in New Zealand happily lead an outdoor life.Knowing that you'll spend far le time commuting in New Zealand than in most world cities, you'll also enjoy far more time with your friends and family.No matter where you live in New Zealand, for instance, you are probably le than an hour from the ocean, and le than 4 hours from a ski field.Which means on the same day you can mountain bike, snowboard and surf!
