Civic Integration | | Consists on establishing compulsory integration courses and tests for immigrants in order to access citizenship and other related public services, but without adopting a completely assimilationist orientation as in more traditional national models. The aim of this approach is a shared knowledge of the destination country’s native language as well as the fundamental civic rules and national laws for an expected more harmonic coexistence. |
Melting Pot | This approach has been used to describe societies that are formed by an assortment of immigrant cultures that eventually blend and produce new hybrid social and cultural forms; the mixing of several cultures will produce a new compound, one that has great strength and other combined advantages. This is most commonly used to describe the United States as a new world with a distinct new breed of people amalgamated from many various groups of immigrants. | |
Multiculturalism | This approach refers to “unity through difference”. Some countries have official, or de jure, policies aimed at preserving the cultures or cultural identities (usually those of immigrant groups and ethnic minorities) within a unified society. The best example is Canada that was one of the first nations with an official multicultural act as an officially bilingual nation, using both English and French. | |
Assimilationism | According to this model, members of minority groups will resemble more the behavioral patterns of the majority group as far as they acquire more local language skills, education and experience in the labor market, and parallel become less attached to their native cultural background. |
