Integration is a two way street, requiring things of both parties involved.

A xenophobic society (there are definitely plenty of those out there)
won't accept outsiders.  The fact that the RCMP has bent over
backwards to accept foreign headgear like turbans is certainly not a
data point that would support that Canada is particularly xenophobic.

But individuals also need to participate in the integration, too. 
Presence is not enough; participation is necessary.  And people
(employers, especially) will be suspicious of those that appear to
have had a particular lack of success at integrating...
