Lastly, poor translators are a contributing factor to the language barrier.

Numerous times,

translators, whether grossly misrepresent or intentionally translate anything the immigrants never

said. This can result in a misdiagnosis of immigrant therapy or, basically put, a strain on the

households of immigrants. An immigrant dad, for instance, was misinterpreted as saying,

"should I throw the kid away?" after discovering that his child had been hospitalized with

hepatitis C virus The health system contacted child protective service, even though he never

intended or said anything. The household was stressed and confused as a result of this.

Translators can be costly for immigrant households, who typically do not have much money, so

many households choose not to hire one. Instead, parents rely on their kids as interpreters, as

they are often the only English or French speakers in the family due to their schooling. Although

this is helpful for the households, the kids are not qualified translators and are not always

trustworthy. Youngsters are frequently in charge of all exterior contact in an immigrant family,

resulting in miscommunication and a great deal of strain. As taxpayers, we must invest in free

translation for immigrants, ensuring that they have accessibility to experienced translators who

will not make mistakes and are familiar with both their and our cultures.

The Problems most Canada Immigrants with language Issues Face

One of the most significant challenges immigrants confront when integrating into is

language. Therefore, if the immigrants are not fluent in either one of Canada's official languages,

English or French, finding a job, making new friends, or even doing basic chores, including

purchasing food or completing papers, can be difficult and distressing. As a result, new

immigrants find it hard to locate employment due to linguistic barriers. Immigrants from non-

English-speaking nations, such as professional Chinese immigrants, suffer significant difficulties

finding work in Canada compared to immigrants from the U. S., Europe, and other nations.
Organizations also have more demanding language needs when recruiting more informed

individuals. New immigrants from Asian and Chinese nations find it challenging to assimilate

into the work market due to language problems.
