You can look at it this way: Imagine if we didn't have immigration by country, but instead by time. So we had a time machine, and could dial up Canadians from the past to come and live in our Canada today. Would we have more trouble integrating Canadians from 1990, or Canadians from 1890?

Yeah, this is kind of important.
When you come from a culture where women are either property or worthless its not just something that you can necessarily legislate.
"Hi, Welcome to Canada, here is your SIN card and remember in this country Women are humans and have rights just like you. Have a nice day and Merry Christmas!"
How do you try and change something that has been socially and culturally ingrained for generations?
