Abstract

Canada has a long and successful history of welcoming immigrants and resettling refugees, assisted by years of forward-looking policy and a unique geography that has significantly shielded it from the type of large-scale undocumented migration seen elsewhere. This history of immigration is a history of nation-building, from colonial times to the present. Today, immigrants are seen to bring prosperity, economic development and the advantages of diversity. The majority of the Canadian public continues to support the immigration program, as well as associated programs of refugee protection and immigrant integration. Multiculturalism, a value enshrined in the Canadian Constitution, remains largely respected and has facilitated the integration of immigrants into Canadian society.
