Qui sont ceux qui rêvent tant du Canada ? Pour quelles raisons
viennent-ils ? Comment le Canada gère-t-il cet afflux de visi-
teurs ? Qu’offre-t-il comme expériences à ces immigrants ?
Cette unité courte va tenter de répondre à ces questions.

Production possible :
– The Canadian population is complex, because it is multicul-
tural. Canada attracts millions of visitors every year.
– However the country is not fragmented because it provides
many job opportunities for newcomers.
– Moreover Canada’s chosen migration helps immigrants to
integrate easily by selecting the candidates according to their
skills.
– Consequently everyone feels useful, which improves self-con-
fidence but also tolerance.
– Canada wants to attract international students to enrich their
own students: different points of views in a classroom help
learn about difference and promote tolerance.
– WWOOFing is a great way to meet the world in Canada and
learn about the culture. So it is a way to experience the com-
plexity of the world.
– Working holiday visas increase exchanges on the territory,
which is also a way to improve global relations.
