immigarion only chinese but not other asians why

how you see many chinese coming and immigrating to vancouver and other parts of canada but you never see many japanese or korean ppl coming and immigrating here
most jps and kor just come here and study for a year and go back
i now this since i live in vancouver and work in dwtn vancity

why is this

 

Same thing with South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans) and Eastern Europeans.

 

Might it be a result of a Chinese lobby having too much influence in Ottawa? On the Indian side too many Punjabis come in compared to other Indians. Canada should base immigration of usefulness to Canada, family ties, ability to speak English and French, and education. Not on being Chinese or Punjabi.

 

This is very hearsay, I see plenty of Filipinos around the city working in all fields. So I'm not sure why you're specifically saying just "Chinese." Immigration is open to anyone, but it also comes down to the person's country.

 

Most Koreans and Japanese leave because majority of the time, they have money back in their country, more than enough that it makes no sense to stay in Canada and work a min. wage job. Their parents send them here to get a Canadian education and degree then back to Korea to work as the CEO. Korean males also have to go back to the country to help for 1-2 years in the army. In terms of Korean females, majority of the time they do go back because their traditions and customs are still very strong in their family, their parents would prefer them to get married in Korea (if the parents are still in Korea).

You're basing all of this on just "Downtown Vancouver," go to Coquitlam, North Vancouver, etc. other parts of Vancouver and you'll see other Asians. You might also be confusing 2nd generation Chinese as "immigrants"....

 

Another reason is Korea and Japan are First World Countries

China, Philippines, India, Pakistan etc are Third World Countries

 

Much as I detest racism and have fought it all my life, I have to be fair to the country too. Canada or America can't just let everyone flood in. I had to wait many years and jump through many hoops to get my status. I made good friendships with older vintage Americans, learned American ways, and shared my own culture with them. I consider American people, figuratively speaking, to be my in-laws because in a sense I married this country.

I am all for immigration if it is done selectively and in measured form. But both sides have obligations. The country has a duty to protect people against bias, and immigrants have a duty to become good citizens.

 

The difficult part is balancing between a mosaic and a melting pot. The former is clearly the better option but it's not without its downfalls.

A lot of modern racism stems from frustration over immigrants that don't know English. However, people forget that a large chunk of Vancouver's reputation as a global city stems from the products of cultural enclaves (eg: authentic ethnic cuisines, availability of ethnic products and cultural celebrations). Can't have your cake and eat it too.

 

I'm not necessarily asking for them to know English to the point where they can translate for officials. I'm asking them that if they are a Canadian Citizen to know enough English to understand what I mean when I say "Are you a Canadian Citizen? Do you have your Care Card? What is your family doctor's name? "
--My aunt struggles with English, so to avoid confusing the receptionist who doesn't understand Cantonese, she always brings her family doctor's business card with her. She understands enough to pass the receptionist the business card.

What I'm really ranting about: Please, you (general term) are not the only people living in this city. People do not work to only serve you (general term).

Literally basic everyday things, I'm not being racist but instead I have dealt with enough "c-lai's" (Pardon the slang term) that it frustrates me. You cannot walk into a government place expecting that everyone there will understand Cantonese, you cannot walk into someone's store and just ramble off in your own mother tongue. This is Canada and yes we are multicultural but keep in mind that there are other cultures.
