↓ the historical development of the canadian immigration system suggests that it went through several phases before reaching its current state.

The contemporary construction of Canadian immigration saw the majority of settlers arriving to Canada (late 1800’s- 1960’s) predominantly from Europe and America.

The point system was introduced in 1967 due to a great shortage of skilled labourers and the need for economic expansion. This saw the rise in immigrants from non-european countries including many from asia and other developing countries.

↓ maile arvin, eve tuck and angie morrill (2013) mention, multiculturalism is used to maintaining settler colonialism by assuming that all minorities and ethnic groups are different but work toward inclusion and equality, and therefore help with the expansion of the settler state.
