Asian and Pacific migration: the Canadian experience
Asian and Pacific Migration Journal : APMJ
|January 1, 1994
Summary
Asian immigrants in Canada have adapted and integrated well, contributing significantly to the economy. However, permanent residency or citizenship does not always guarantee equal opportunities in Canadian society.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Immigration Studies
- Economics
Background:
- Canadian immigration policy has increasingly favored Asian immigrants.
- Asian immigration has significantly impacted Canada's skills, capital, and entrepreneurship.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the characteristics of landed Asian immigrants in Canada.
- To explore their settlement, adaptation, and integration experiences.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative analysis of immigrant characteristics.
- Exploration of settlement and integration patterns.
Main Results:
- Asian immigrants have generally adapted and integrated successfully into Canadian society.
- Significant contributions in skills, capital, and entrepreneurship are noted.
- Disparities in economic and social opportunities persist despite residency or citizenship.
Conclusions:
- While Canada shows success in integrating Asian immigrants compared to other nations like Australia, equal opportunity remains a challenge.
- Further research is needed to address persistent socioeconomic gaps for Asian immigrants.

01:09Cell Migration
Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
00:53Migration
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
02:39Gene Flow
Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.
01:19Cell Migration
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.
01:27Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
01:26Self-Esteem and Culture
Self-esteem, a core psychological construct, is intricately shaped by cultural context and varies significantly between collectivist and individualistic societies. In collectivist cultures such as Japan, self-esteem tends to be flexible, context-sensitive, and influenced by relationships. A Japanese student, for instance, may show restraint in formal settings like school but behave more openly among close friends, reflecting the flexible and dynamic nature of self-concept in such...
