This assignment explores the labour history of immigration in Canada, based on the work of Isajiw (1999). It examines the usefulness of studying settlement stages and details the eight stages of Canadian immigration, from pre-European settlement to the merit point system. The document addresses the indigenous population before European arrival, French colonization's impact, and the arrival of American Loyalists. It also covers the effects of the War of 1812, immigration policies, and the Underground Railroad. The assignment further analyzes immigration patterns, conditions for workers between World War I and II, racism in immigration policies, the Displaced Persons program, and the shift towards non-discriminatory practices. Finally, it explores the point system, the Immigration Adjustment of Status Program, Canada's obligations, and special immigration programs from 1978 to 1993.
