This book showcases a critical sensemaking (CSM) study of how
professional immigrants from Hong Kong to Canada make sense of
their workplace experiences, and what this can tell us about why a
substantial number leave in their first year in Canada. An analysis
of the interviews demonstrates that immigrants' identities are
grounded by contextual sensemaking elements. Data show that
informants have accepted unchallenged assumptions: (1) that the
government is providing help for them to "get in" the workplace;
and (2) that the ethnic service organizations are offering positive
guidance to their workplace opportunities. At the organizational
level, a master discourse emphasizing integration has mediated
immigrants' struggles. Within these frustrations, many have
internalized a hidden discourse of inadequate or deficient selves
and adopted a sacrificial position to maintain a positive sense of
identity. The study concludes that a critical sensemaking approach
allows greater insights into immigration processes than realist
surveys, which tend to impose a pre-packaged sense of the immigrant
experience. Through critical sensemaking, readers are encouraged to
rethink the current role of ethnic service organizations in the
immigration system.
