Thirty-four per cent of Canada's migrants live outside the major cities - a significantly higher number than in Australia.

The minister responsible for managing Australia's population levels is looking to Canada for inspiration to shift more migrants to regional areas.

"While there is no requirement for new immigrants to stay in the province that has nominated them, the evidence is that the vast majority stay in that province," he told a Sydney summit on Monday. Before Canada changed its policy in the early 1990s, only 10 per cent of economic migrants settled outside the country's major cities.In Australia, just 14 per cent of the 1.4 million migrants who moved to Australia between 2011 and 2016 settled outside of greater capital cities.

What happens when children don't learn their mother tongueShyamla, who was born to a Tamil father and Fijian-Indian mother, was only taught English as a child. Now, she feels like she has been locked out of her culture. Nowadays you can easily pick up a travel dictionary or even just Google translate. This will let you learn enough of the language basics to survive wherever you go. I dunno... this report sounds like an oxymoron, nothing is barring her from embracing or acknowledging the other parts of her ancestry. She's an Australian, already speaks English & ought to learn an indigenous language of the land upon which she resides. Learn the way of this land, her home.
