Relative Proportion: Immigration

Egalitarian Approach Dept: Up to the middle of the 20th century, the immigrants whom Canada admitted were almost entirely of European origin, with Great Britain the preferred source country. This practice followed the general ideology of the hierarchy of race and ethnicity against which the horrors of the Second World War and the decolonization process had still not fully immunized the West, according to Montreal Gazette. But in 2004, some surprising provisions were introduced to the Immigration Act. Under the pretext that immigrant selection had been put in place to promote the enrichment of Quebec's socio-cultural heritage, it was decided that the number of immigrants admitted into Quebec could now be divided by geographic region. A clause was even introduced to authorize the suspension of consideration of requests from one region or another - in other words, to set in place quotas based on geographic origin and recently Quebec Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil published a consultation paper on immigration policy. It deals with the number of permanent immigrants Quebec plans to welcome, and with the relative proportion of the various types of immigrants for example, those who come for family reconstitution, refugees, economic immigrants . It describes, often in very technocratic terms, the administrative procedures surrounding the management of migratory movements. In the 1960s, this method was progressively replaced by a universal and egalitarian approach, with no regard to race, colour, nationality, religion, mother tongue or sex. When Quebec obtained powers that allowed it to choose a large part of its immigrants, it automatically adhered to this principle of nondiscrimination, which went along perfectly with its charter of rights and freedoms. As reported in the news.
