Abstract
The author tries to convey that Canada is committed to policies of very high immigration. Canada has adaptive strategies to facilitate the diversity in its population which the policy of high immigration produces. These take the form of multiculturalism acts and policies, at both federal and provincial levels. These efforts are complicated by a constitutional framework that reinforces bi-nationality through a federal system. The efforts also must respond to Canada’s Charter-based system that establishes autonomy, with respect to education, for linguistic, denominational and aboriginal population. All of which occurs within Canada’s bilingual framework.
Keywords: Canada, immigration, diversity, population, multiculturalism, policies, federal, provincial, constitutional, bi-nationality, Charter
