Canada
has always been proud of its multicultural heritage and
now, more than ever, this country's continued success relies on the
contributions of
immigrants. In the last century, immigrants made up 15
to 20% of the Canadian population. In the 1980s there was an average
of 125, 000 immigrants
to Canada per year and in 2005 there were 262, 236 newcomers.
Immigration accounts for 70% of the net population growth in Canada,
an increase
from 20% in 1976. These trends are expected to continue
through the 21st century. Statistics Canada projects that the immigrant
population
will reach 7.0 and 9.3 million in 2017, an increase of
24% and 65% from 2001.
Toronto receives the majority of newcomers to Canada. About 46% of immigrants settle in Toronto, a three-fold increase from Vancouver (15%) and Montreal (13%), the next most popular destinations.
George Brown College recognizes Toronto's changing
demographic profile and is a leader in responding to
immigrant needs. International & Immigrant Education at George Brown College serves
to facilitate the
seamless integration of immigrants into the social, educational,
and economic structures of Ontario and to act as an advocate for immigrant
issues within the college and external bodies through
