Chinese-Canadians and the Chinese University of Hong Kong

the Chinese University of Hong Kong: Researchers at the University of British Columbia and the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that Chinese-Canadians aged 23 to 32, many of whom were born in Canada or arrived with Hong Kong-born parents when they were children, decided to leave Canada after attending university because they felt there were no jobs here that suited their ambitions. The sociologists conducted formal interviews and focus-group interviews with 18 young Chinese-Canadians, 12 Canada-based parents with children working in Hong Kong, and varied groups of Chinese community leaders from Toronto and Vancouver. The young adults make up part of the 300,000-strong contingent of Canadians living in the Asian metropolis, 83 per cent of whom hold dual citizenship.
