The South Asian population in Canada, encompassing diverse
national, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, has in recent years
become the largest visible minority in the country. As this
community grows, it encounters challenges in settlement,
integration, and development. Accounting for only 1 per cent of the
population in Quebec, the South Asian community has received
limited attention in comparison with other minority groups. The
Invisible Community uses recent data from a variety of fields to
explore who these immigrants are and what they and their families
require to become members of an inclusive society. Experts from
Canadian and international universities and governmental and
community agencies describe how South Asian immigrants experience
life in French-speaking Canada. They look at how members of the
community integrate into the job market, how they manage socially
and emotionally, how their religious values are affected, and how
their children adapt to French-speaking and English-speaking
schools. The Invisible Community shares lived experiences of
different subgroups of the South Asian population in Quebec in
order to better understand wider social, political, and educational
contexts of immigration in Canada.
