Now on the other hand you are saying we should integrate to them. Ok. If we look as our current workplace/office, where we are sitting right now. In what ways can it change to incorporate their culture to help them?

I’m not sure what you’re asking, can you rephrase your question(s)? This has little to do with corporate culture or competitiveness in the urban world, because if you think it does then you’re missing the point entirely. The point is that our culture as a whole should be representative and respectful of the diverse traditions and ways of life we have. It’s not “how do we make Canadian corporate culture better for them,” it’s “stop telling them to integrate into “our” society and accept that their traditions and way of life is already part of it.”
They aren’t outsiders. They aren’t the other. They’re Canadians. They’re part of society already. They don’t need to change their culture to fit ours, we need to accept their culture as part of ours (which means quit saying they need to join society).
I think you’re just looking at this from a totally different angle and I’m not sure what angle that is, so sorry if this doesn’t really give you an answer.
