Not long ago, the integration of immigrants in host societies was
perceived mostly in terms of assimilation, an overly simplistic
scenario, based on which immigrants would learn the language and
culture of the native population, and the rest would just follow.
However, the developments of the past two decades have shown just
how complex this process can be. This new book shows the diverse
experiences of various groups of immigrants. This book takes a
fresh look at the experiences of immigrants to Canada. The contents
of the book are based on over five years of research the author has
carried out in Canada and elsewhere, using a variety of data
sources, from quantitative census data through specially-designed
survey information, to materials derived from qualitative research.
The book is structured in such a way that it can be beneficial to a
wide range of readers: those interested in in-depth examination of
immigration issues, those leaning more towards narrative texts, and
those looking only for general research trends and theoretical and
policy implications. Literature; The Calm Before the Storm:
Preparing to Migrate to Canada; Haves and Have-nots: Poverty
Experiences of Immigrants; The New Kid in Town: Neighbourhood
Poverty and Economic Performance; What You Know, and Who You Know:
