Regional disparties and prejudicial government policies

Hey,

I think that this is definitely an interesting topic to go with. If we can tweak the question to fit our theme I would be totally for it. Has anyone considered the possibilities of selective immigration? In that the Canadian government seems to admit the cream of the crop type of immigrants. It's easy to immigrate to Canada through investment or skill. Because of this, immigrants in Canada(specifically Vancouver) may find it easier to integrate/assimilate into local culture because they are more educated of and open to the cultures of developed countries. Compare this to countries in Europe that take shiploads of refugee status immigrants who come with no money or viable skills and large language barriers. These refugee immigrants may find it harder to adjust to local culture and probably need more government assistance than the immigrants in Canada. Also difference fosters discrimination. So response to immigration in Canada may be better since we are admitting skilled labour whereas European countries may look down at immigrants since they may consider them to not be a productive part of society. I don't know if I'm branching too far by suggesting we compare to other countries. But it's just a thought.
