Abstract
Canada is the second multicultural country in the world after Australia. According to Statistics Canada (2001), 18.4% of the total population in Canada was born outside the country (Caidi, N., & Allard, D. 2005). Many cultures are therefore in contact under the roof of the Canadian nationality. Canada also differs from many other countries in that multiculturalism is part of the national constitution. Indeed, with the creation of a Race Relation Unit in the federal directorate in 1981 then with the Canadian Multiculturalism Act in 1988, Canada showed its commitment to multiculturalism. The question of integration of new comers is very important since multiculturalism is fundamentally about the acknowledgment by the cultural majority of the equal worth of minority cultures (Richard Alba).
