Canada. Employment and Immigration Canada. Immigration to Canada: Aspects of Public Opinion. Ottawa: Employment and Immigration Canada, 1989. (By Angus Reid Associates).
Public opinion research on they types of immigrants Canadians would like to see come to Canada has shown that Canadians are more likely to accept immigrants who can make a positive contribution to Canada's economic growth and prosperity and less inclined to accept those who would pose an economic burden or threaten the employment opportunities of Canadians. In the area of refugee acceptance, Canadians feel that the needs of Canada must be considered. While there remains a strong commitment to Canada's humanitarian tradition along with a sense that Canada should be taking in its share of international refugees, there is some concern that Canada is taking in more than its share and that many of the people who claim to be refugees are not legitimate refugees. Thus, Canadians would like to see a greater emphasis on controlling the number of refugees coming into Canada (adapted from author's introduction).

Canada, House of Commons. Refugees, Immigration and Gender: Report. Ottawa: The Standing Committee, 1995
The UN High Commission for Refugees places special emphasis on the needs of refugee women. It recognizes their disproportionate numbers, their particular vulnerability, the often sexual nature of their persecution, the need to change attitudes. In approaching this study, the committee had one major goal: to determine if Canada is meeting the challenge. Are w( fully recognizing the particular risks women refugees face? Are we addressing their special needs? have our training programs changed to reflect this priority? Are we acting in accordance with our new awareness or are older attitudes undermining real change? Are we doing all we can to identify and remove the systemic barriers we know women face in gaining access to Canada's protection? (Copyright 1995, Canadian Research Index, all rights reserved).

Canada, Immigration and Refugee Board. Civilian Non-Combatants Fearing Persecution in Civil War Situations: Guidelines Issued by the Chairperson Pursuant to Section 65(3) of the Immigration Act. Ottawa: The Board, 1996.
Claims made by civilian non-combatants fearing return to situations of civil war come before the Refugee Division on a regular basis. These guidelines address the particular difficulties raised in such claims. In claims involving situations of civil war, as in all other refugee claims, the claimants must satisfy all of the elements of the statutory definition of Convention refugee. A major difficulty encountered in analyzing these claims is determining whether or not a linkage exists between the persecution feared and one or more of the Convention grounds.
