Worksheet for the preparation of the debate
As you know Canada welcomes about 220,000 immigrants from all over the world each
year. Imagine that this year the government of Canada has decided to give out two
additional permanent residencies for applicants from the same immigration class. May
the most convincing immigration class win!
Task
Get together in your groups corresponding to
your role cards.
You need: Information cards on the Canadian
immigration system; Important rules for debating; Role cards; Success stories; Tools for the
group work; Important phrases for debating;
Personal index cards; Speech fan.
Application
for
Permanent Residency
in
Canada
Step 1
Assign two roles within your group:
A timekeeper: He/she will make sure you finish your work on time;
A language guard: He/she will remind everybody to speak English ONLY.
Step 2
Read the success story individually, then proceed to a group activity: 1) Describe
the success presented in the story. 2) Express how the individuals involved feel towards
Canada. 3) Explain how Canada will profit from the immigrants.
Step 3
Immigration Classes
Work together as a team! Take the success stories as an example and construct a
background story for your own group: Who are you, where do you come from and
why do you want to immigrate to Canada? How would Canada benefit from you
immigrating there? Think about moral, religious, economic and political relevance.
Spokesperson: Prepare a one-minute opening speech in which you present the two
applicants and their case. Also, prepare a final statement in which you sum up the
most important facts. Don’t forget the formalities.
Applicants: Define your roles. Keep in mind the background story you have just
invented with your group. Think of at least three arguments in favour of your own
case and at least three counter-arguments against each of the opposing groups. Also,
be prepared to defend yourself from possible attacks.
Audience: Define your roles. How can you support your group? Come up with arguments in favour of your group and with ideas for possible attacks against the other
groups. Remember: You participate by asking “points of information”.
CIC-Members
Work together as a team! As members of the CIC tribunal you will listen to all
four immigration classes and their cases they present in front of you. At the end of
the debate, you will have to make your decision.
Host/ess: Think about how to introduce the topic and to open the debate. How can
you motivate the different immigration classes to participate? Remember, everybody
must get involved! Establish a speaking order if debating gets too chaotic.
Judges: Work with the grading chart. Use the “point chart” and develop it if need be.
After the debate, compare your results and decide which applicants will receive the
permanent residencies. Explain your decision!

The following extract from a Canadian success story might give you some inspiration
for a background story you have to invent, as well as some ideas for how to argue
your case for your immigration class. Read the text carefully and proceed to the group
activity.

Didactic alternatives, homework and further reading
You have just been involved in a debate on immigration to Canada. Take
some time to reflect on the debate and write at least one page on either
topic:
a) Internal monologue
Change of role: Imagine that you were one of the applicants who won the additional
permanent residency ten years ago. Write an internal monologue about what has
happened in your life since you became a permanent resident. Think about possible
challenges, failures and successes. Who are you today and are you happy with your
life? Was it worth emigrating to Canada?
b) Comment
You witnessed the debate on “Application for Permanent Residency in Canada” as a
neutral spectator. Write a comment on the debate in which you reflect on the diverse
contributions from the different groups and on the judges’ decision. Do you agree?
Explain!
Further reading
If you have access to the Internet, look up the following link and read the German article “Oh, wie schön ist Kanada”: http://www.stern.de/wirtschaft/job/einwanderung-undintegration-oh-wie-schoen-ist-kanada-1613722.html.
Tasks
1. Write in English a comparison between the German and the Canadian immigration
processes based on the information given in the article and what you have learnt in
class so far.
2. Write about a page on either topic:
a) Add a personal comment about someone you know in your family or among
your friends who has moved to Germany or emigrated to another country. What
did they experience? What seems to have been fairly easy and what extremely
difficult in their immigration process? How well have they integrated into their
“new” countries and what could be done to support them?
b) Imagine that you are leaving Germany in order to start a new life in a different
country. Think about what would be the biggest challenge of moving, adapting
and integrating into the new country. Also, what would you miss the most about
Germany?

Einbettung
Die lehrwerksunabhängige Unterrichtseinheit lässt sich hervorragend im Anschluss
an eine Reihe zu Kanada, zur vergleichenden Immigrationspolitik anglophoner Länder
oder mit dem Thema „Living in a multicultural society“ verknüpfen. Vorkenntnisse im
Debattieren sind nicht zwingend notwendig.
Hinweise
Das Thema der Einwanderung und Integration ist hochaktuell und derzeit Bestandteil vieler kontroverser Diskussionen in Deutschland. Während diese Diskussionen hierzulande oftmals eher negativ- und problembehaftet sind, scheinen andere Länder besser
mit diesem Thema umzugehen. So gehört zum Beispiel Kanada zu den Ländern, die
speziell um Einwanderer werben und im Vergleich deutlich geringere Integrationsprobleme haben. Möglicherweise könnte ein Blick nach Kanada neue Perspektiven eröffnen? Nähern Sie sich mit Ihrer Klasse der Einwanderungspolitik Kanadas und diskutieren Sie zusammen dieses hochaktuelle und spannende Thema!
Einwanderungsland Kanada – Aushängeschild für eine multikulturelle
Gesellschaft
Kanada proklamierte 1971 unter Premierminister Pierre Trudeau als erstes Land der
Welt den Multikulturalismus als Staatskonzept und ist bekannt als Mosaik der
Kulturen und Sprachen. Kanada stellt, mit einem im internationalen Vergleich außergewöhnlich guten Lebensstandard und einer außerordentlich hohen Lebensqualität für
Einwanderer, ein sehr attraktives Zielland dar. Im Umkehrschluss profitiert jedoch auch
die kanadische Gesellschaft von ihren ausgewählten Immigranten, denn sie benötigt
diese für den Erhalt und die Ausprägung ihres multikulturalistischen Konzepts. So wird
die Einwanderung nach Kanada über klar definierte Ziele gesteuert und spiegelt sich
in den folgenden Hauptkategorien wider: die Family Class, die Skilled Workers Class,
die Business Class und die Refugee Class.
Darüber hinaus existieren weitere Immigrationsklassen, wie die Quebec-selected
Skilled Workers Class, die Provincial Nominee Class und die Canadian Experience Class,
die aber im Sinne der didaktischen Reduktion in dieser Einheit keine Berücksichtigung
finden.
