Fictional story on language barrier

Whenever immigrants arrive in Canada, they are prepared for various hardships. It is

often thought of as a challenging endeavor to integrate into a new nation. In general, immigrants

from across the globe have had many bad encounters. Although immigrants in Canada face these

challenges, there are a set of elements that can assist them in adjusting to their new lives.

Immigrants to Canada confront various problems, including the following: Communication

barriers exist. Canada's primary languages are French and English. Immigrants from nations

where these languages are not spoken may find it hard to engage with Canadians. In addition,

finding a suitable career in Canada may be difficult for immigrants because of the language

barriers.

The Causes of Language Barriers on Canada Immigrant

The prohibitive cost of acquiring translators and interpreted materials for public

organizations is the primary cause of the language barrier. Several immigrants lack access to a

translator, leading to misunderstandings and an incapacity to convey their concerns. Such

solutions are unavailable since there are no translation services available at public institutions

such as schools, clinics, and workplaces, leading to a shortage of funds. The fact that there are

many different languages spoken in Vancouver alone is one of the significant reasons why

translation services are so costly. Several Vancouver classes can have up to twelve distinct

languages being spoken in school, making it expensive to supply these individuals with several

multiple languages. Because of the scarcity of translation services, it is challenging for migrants

to transcend their linguistic obstacles. Immigrants will be more likely to obtain translation

assistance if more Canadian dollars are contributed to their financing, making it far easier for

them to get through their obstacles as an immigrant speaking another language. Therefore, if we
assist immigrants to overcome difficulties, they should most certainly repay by becoming

taxpayers after they have entangled up to speed.

The unfavorable public perception of immigrants is another major contributor to the

language barrier. Among the prime causes for resentment of immigrants is the perception that

they are "taking the jobs of Canadians." They perceive immigrants as foreigners instead of

residents who steal all of the work that "we," Canadian residents, might do, reducing the number

of "real" Canadian people with jobs. As a result, residents are hesitant to spend tax dollars on

immigrants, believing it would be a waste of money. Another reason that makes residents

hesitant to invest tax dollars is their distrust of immigrants' ability to manage their funds

properly. Individuals assume that they will become unproductive if they depend on their benefits.

Therefore, we should not overspend on them. Nevertheless, whether they have the means to

generate an income, many of these immigrants would ultimately pay back into circulation.
