Regional disparties and prejudicial government policies

Hey!

Alex, although I am totally for your interesting topic, I have to agree with Minj in that it is a little but better categorized within the admission of immigrants. However, that being said, I do think it is important to ask the immigrant's background. Whether we like it or not, governments may have some prejudices with certain immigrant groups. For exemple, A Colombian immigrant vs. another, even Mexican immigrant has an easier time assimilating or being allowed to, by that I mean, requesting citizenship or residency etc takes longer for groups like Colombians or others compared to one with a Swedish background. But like I said, although this may be more on the "admission" of immigrants, I think their background influences the immigration process and assimilation process in places in Canada and BC.
