Economic Recessions: Visible Minorities

Canadian Identity Dept: The study, by the Institute for Research on Public Policy released Tuesday, also found women, retirees, people with high school education or less, those struggling to secure jobs and Conservative party supporters are less open to immigration, according to The Star. Multiculturalism is a big part of the Canadian identity, like our national parks, health care and the flag, said report author Jeffrey Reitz, professor at the University of Toronto s Munk School of Global Affairs . Those who identify with multiculturalism are also more pro-immigration. Recent immigrants and visible minorities are less likely to support immigration than mainstream Canadians, says a new study. Overall though, Canada s support for immigration remains high despite economic recessions, threats of terrorism and the most recent arrival of illegal migrants off the coast of British Columbia.
