Why do people immigrate to Canada and then refuse to learn the language,...

...history and culture? then they complain that they do not fit in and do not belong here and it is not like their home country. why bother immigrating if you prefer home?
 
we here in california have the same problem. i understand that "Home" may not have good paying jobs,or indoor plumbing and many of these people migrate to where the better lifestyle is. however many get homesick for their dirt floored birthplace and whatever good memories they had their and just comlplain. And besides french sucks, i wouldn't learn it either.
 
are you suggesting that Canada doesn't suport people identifying with thier heritage? Canadians won't print ballots in English instead of French (refereing to Quebec and Montreal area, of course.) What about healthcare? If I get sick can I go to the hospital and get an MRI if I tear my ACL? Will I have to pay for it? What if I forgot to get a visa, first? What about housing? Where do I apply for Canandian housing projects?
 
This seems more like a rhetorical question, but a lot of the immigrants that come over don't have much of a choice. Their countries are more often than not in total disarray. They come to Canada because to them, it is a place that gives them better opportunities than elsewhere.

As a Canadian, one should be proud to be considered such a great country that those in need can look towards for help. It can seem like a burden sometimes, but in the end, they are tax-payers just like us.
 
The same reason why people don't bother to learn the history, language, and culture(s) in America. They just want to feel at home, for whatever reason they are their. Say you moved to a completely different country. Lets say France. It would take some time to learn the language, huh? And their food, would you eat your normal diet? Or what they eat? Sometimes you just want a different location, but the relaxed feeling of 'home'.
