Arab Canadian immigrants

Canada is located in the northern part of the United States, with a total land area of 9.976 million square kilometers, making it the second largest country in the world after Russia. However, according to the census data of 2065438+2009, the population of this economically developed and resource-rich country is only over 37 million. Canada's population is comparable to that of war-torn Afghanistan, which is short of resources. Canada has a land area of 380,000 square kilometers larger than China, but its population is only one seventh of that of China, which really makes China, a sparsely populated country, extremely envious. Why does Canada have such a large territory and such a small population?

First of all, natural environmental factors in Canada limit the population growth of this country. Looking at Canada from the map, the country is mainly located in 50? In the northern region, its highest dimension has reached 80? The northern land area is distributed in the Arctic Circle, which makes Canada a middle and high latitude country with a cold climate. The Leng Yue average temperature in most parts of Canada is below-15 degrees, and the northern part can even break through the low temperature of -35 degrees, and only a few southern parts can keep it above -5 degrees in winter.

In addition to high latitude and low temperature, the Cordillera Mountains in western Canada block the warm and humid air flow from the Pacific Ocean with high mountain terrain, which further aggravates the cold in northern Canada, resulting in most parts of northern Canada being unsuitable for human survival and agricultural development. There is insufficient light, cold climate and harsh geographical environment here.

Most of Canada is as vast as Russia's vast Siberia, but it is no different from no man's land except for a few Eskimos and other aborigines. It is precisely because of the cold climate that the existing population of Canada is concentrated in the southern region with higher temperature and lower latitude. Therefore, Canada's land area seems vast, and there are few areas suitable for human survival, so it is naturally difficult to develop into a populous country.

Secondly, Canada's small population is related to historical factors. Before this vast and cold land was discovered, this land originally belonged to the area where Indians and Inuit lived. Of course, due to many factors such as the cold climate, there are not many indigenous people living in Canada. Until the16th century, Canada became a colony of many European countries.

Or because of the climate and latitude, few European colonists entered Canada. In addition, Europeans who colonized Canada can only live in warmer southern areas, so it is naturally difficult for Canada's population to grow rapidly. Moreover, at the beginning of the founding of Canada, due to the low population base and the more favorable environment in the south, the United States absorbed Canadian population with high wages and low prices, which further led to the slow growth of Canadian population.

Finally, Canada's small population is related to the country's social reasons. Canada is the last colonial country in North America, and its colonial history helped Canada complete the industrial revolution early and become a developed capitalist country. However, most developed capitalist countries will have such a problem: they are mainly based on the modern population growth model of low birth rate, low mortality rate and low natural growth rate.

Canada, which was prematurely industrialized, has also entered this population growth mode, so it is difficult for Canada to achieve a sudden increase in population in a short time, thus solving the problem of small population. It is precisely because of Canada's small population that in recent years, the state has put forward a number of immigration plans to try to solve the situation of Canada's vast territory and sparsely populated. However, it will take a long time for Canada to become a populous country, which will not happen overnight.

Of course, due to Canada's immigration policy and its vast territory, sparse population and abundant resources, Canada has become one of the focuses of China's immigration. According to Statistics Canada's 20 16 data, there are more than 7.7 million people in Canada, that is, 22.3% are colored people, and Chinese people are second only to South Asians in colored people, reaching 1.77 million. There are 700,000 Chinese in greater toronto area alone. Richmond in Greater Vancouver, Canada has become the city with the highest proportion of Chinese outside Asia. The proportion of Chinese in this city is actually more than half, reaching 52.5%.

Of course, Canada is a member of the western world after all and can only be dominated by whites. Faced with the arrogance and prejudice of many Canadians, there is still a long way to go before China immigrates to Canada to ensure its legitimate rights and interests and develop in a foreign country.
