Migration Experience: Study Subjects

migration experience: In narratives of migration experience from Beijing to Vancouver, we note that the trajectory of settlement very nearly reverses that assumed by scholars, the study says, according to Globe and Mail. Migrants tend to settle in and settle down with their families first, enjoying leisure time and making a home. All but a few newcomers said their move to Canada was not primarily about improved economic opportunities, the study indicated, contrary to what immigration researchers have always presumed is the main motivation for changing countries. Then they gradually begin to look for market work. The two note that some of their study subjects only found jobs as a way of trying to integrate into the community. Often times they take jobs as part of settling in and stabilizing their lives into a new routine, rather than the other way around. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
