Book excerpt: Pico Iyer, the world famous travel writer, thinks of Canada as a global soul "because it is free from expectation, because it is willing to experiment, because it has a rare sense of imaginative space and therefore is the best guide to the creation of a new kind of stained-glass society" [Iyer 2000]. [...] If it is indeed a journey without an end, how should the traveller prepare for it? What should the traveller pack to take on this jour- ney? What signs and milestones should the traveller watch out for to know that the journey is taking the right direction? Who is the best travel guide? Who draws the map for the jour- ney? And ultimately, who is this traveller? The conference organizers have asked. [...] What is this settlement that we are con- cerned about? Is it an end unto itself? Should it have the kind of institutional framework that results in the creation of a settlement industry that stands alone? It certainly seems that this is exactly what we have created - a separate, stand-alone institution that is set apart and away from the rest of Canada. [...] Third, but tied to the second point, we need to ally ourselves to some of the emerging and potentially powerful movements in the country that are about the redistribution of political power to Canada's cities. [...] I was asked to unpack the box of settle- ment, and in doing so I have come to dislike the contours of this box, with its hard edges and rigid walls, with its current limitations of what is pos- sible and what is not.
Download or read book Transnational Migration Social Inclusion and Adult Education written by Shibao Guo and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of transnational migration, many countries are becoming increasingly ethnoculturally diverse, creating both new opportunities and challenges for practices of adult education. This volume examines the changing nature of adult education in the age of increased transnational migration and: • synthesize the latest research, policies, and practices in transnational migration and adult education, • examines the larger historical and structural issues of race and gender in immigration and newer theories, such as diaspora studies, in relation to adult education, and • provides examples and recommendations for enhancing socially just and inclusive adult education environments for newcomers. Transborder injustices and multiple dimensions of social justice permeate immigration dynamics and challenge adult educators to rethink social justice in a transnational age. This is the 146th volume of the Jossey Bass series New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education. Noted for its depth of coverage, it explores issues of common interest to instructors, administrators, counselors, and policymakers in a broad range of education settings, such as colleges and universities, extension programs, businesses, libraries, and museums.

Download or read book Putting Family First written by Harald Bauder and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When migrants reach their new home, we often interpret their settlement and integration as an individual process driven largely by the labour market. But family plays a crucial role. Putting Family First is the fruit of a four-year academic–community partnership to investigate the experience of immigrant families settling in Greater Toronto. Contributors explore the integration trajectory of immigrant families, from newcomers’ initial reception to their deep involvement in and attachment to their receiving society. Chapters examine the interrelated themes of the policy environment, children and youth, gender, labour markets and work, and community supports, making insightful connections between concepts such as neoliberalism, resilience, and social capital. Putting Family First applies rigorous academic research to solve practical problems, illustrating how the family context can be mobilized to facilitate the successful integration of newcomers and offering important guidance to practitioners and policy makers in Canada and beyond.

Download or read book Immigration Canada written by Augie Fleras and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the romanticized image of newcomers arriving as a “huddled mass” at Halifax’s Pier 21, understanding the reality and complexity of immigration today requires an expert guide. In the hands of scholar Augie Fleras, this intricate and ever-changing subject gets the attention it deserves with analysis of all aspects, including admission policies, the refugee processing system, the temporary foreign worker program, and the emergence of transnational identities. Given the unprecedented number of federal policy reforms of the past decade, such a roadmap is essential. Immigration Canada describes, analyzes, and reassesses immigration in a Canada that is rapidly changing, increasingly diverse, more uncertain, and globally connected. Drawing on the best Canadian and international scholarship, Fleras investigates related topics such as integration, identity, and multiculturalism, to consider immigration in a wider context. By thoroughly capturing the politics, patterns, and paradoxes of contemporary migration, this book rethinks the thorny issues and reframes the key debates.
Download or read book After the Flight written by Shiva Nourpanah and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of the integration process for refugees is often subsumed under the broader category of “immigrants”. This book focuses on this process for refugees, including the structural and systemic challenges they face as they integrate in their new host societies, and how they respond to such challenges. The book provides a critical analysis of Canada’s approach to integrating refugees with additional chapters focused on refugee integration in Australia, Northern Ireland, and the United States. This collection of work critically addresses a range of topics and employs a variety of qualitative approaches to gain a better understanding of the lived experience of integration for refugees, including the ways in which refugees view integration and the attendant challenges and opportunities encountered during the integration process. Departing from viewing refugees as a “burden” that must be shared by the international community, the contributors to this collection explore the complex dynamics of race, class, gender, ethnicity, age, generation and legal status for refugees in a selection of local contexts of reception. The work begins a dialogue about the long-term dynamics of refugee settlement and integration with implications for the viability of future resettlement programs and practices. How the world responds to the ongoing plight of the growing numbers of displaced people will be a defining feature of the contemporary global order. This collection shifts the discourse about refugees from one of victimhood to one of refugee agency and rights. The book will be of primary interest to academics in the field of refugee and migration studies, to practitioners in the settlement sector, and to those involved in making refugee policies. It will also be useful for those who work in social services and education in countries of the global north that receive refugees and refugee claimants, and anyone with an interest in refugee lives.
Download or read book Immigration Diversity and Social Inclusion in Canada s Cities Martin Papillon Executive Summary written by and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central to the process of creating sustainable diversity is the capacity of institutions at the national, provincial and local levels to counter patterns of exclusion and facilitate the integration of new immigrants into the labour market and guarantee access to social services, language training and education. [...] Research suggest that systemic factors, such as the lack of recognition of foreign credentials, racial discrimination and prejudices in the work environment, as well as lack of access to affordable housing and suitable language training may contribute to the social exclusion of more vulnerable newcomers. [...] On the one hand, it seems to contribute to the creation of social networks and may facilitate access to employment. [...] The greatest problem for municipalities, as for NGOs, seems to be a lack of access to the larger policy-making process at the federal and provincial levels. [...] There is, consequently, a strong argument to be made for more consultation and more resources being transferred to municipalities for the development of programs that are responsive to the specific needs of the local population.
