This book provides an original research study on the life-career
development experiences of new and recent immigrant professionals
to Canada. Literature addressing Canada's immigrant professionals
has primarily focused on the negative aspects of migration and
life-career transition, such as barriers, discrimination and
underemployment. Surprisingly few studies have explored how, in
spite of personal and environmental barriers, some new Canadians
have flourished in their new country. The purpose of this study is
to explore the lived experiences of immigrant professionals who
believe they have successfully transitioned in the life-career
domains. While recognizing difficulties and roadblocks, the book
presents a unique insight in the career development field. Twenty
individuals were interviewed using a grounded theory approach.
Analysis revealed that internal and external factors contributed or
hindered their life-career trajectories. Meaning making, social
support and behavioural coping emerged as primary coping
strategies. Issues with language and accreditation emerged as
significant barriers to life-career development. Practical and
theoretical implications are discussed.
