This book was released on 1988 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the organization and social life of firmly-established Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in various parts of Canada. Divided into nine chapters written by thirteen authors, the book focuses on community development issues. Various settings are described: Large national or regional metropolises (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg); middle-sized cities (Quebec, Victoria); and small towns (Lethbridge, Moncton). All regions of Canada are covered except the northern territories. In presenting basic background information on the history and community organization of the Vietnamese, Kampucheans and/or Laotians living in various Canadian cities, each chapter also underlines some specific aspects of their social and community life. The first chapter, the only non-case study, brings together commonalities of Indo-Chinese Canadian social organization from the growing literature. Merging this information with that drawn from the social organization of other immigrant groups, the author, N. Buchignani of the University of Lethbridge, develops a basic model of contemporary Indo-Chinese family and community organization. In the studies of the eight Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in the subsequent chapters, common social and cultural tendencies are apparent, such as the primary role of the family and the social support role of the ethnic community.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Canadian Asian Studies Association (CASA) is pleased that this richly documented update of the state of our knowledge of Southeast Asian refugees in Canada is being launched. It is a timely sequel to the original (and highly successful) Southeast Asian Exodus: From Tradition to Resettlement (ed. Elliott Tepper, 1980), a pioneering study of the Indo-Chiense "problem" in Canada. The present volume represents the culmination and drawing together of some of the best research which has grown so abundantly over the past five years. Taken together, these two volumes provide a firm foundation for a truly longitudinal resettlement study, which can potentially be built upon as far into the future as research interests, energies and funds permit. Collectively, the topics (chapters) in this volume provide a fairly full coverage of the principal problems of Indo-Chinese adaptation in Canada, from the "bottom-line" and often hard facts of occupational and economic adjustment to the more subtle and sensitive questions of language learning, social and psychological needs. Doreen Indra's introduction supplies a comprehensive and impressive overview of the entire Southeast Asian refugee situation in Canada, and this is complemented by one of the moost complete bibliographies on the subject yet compiled in this country." -- Preface

Neuwirth and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a report on a three-year study of the social and economic adaptation of Indo-Chinese refugees to life in Canada. It was conducted by the Department of Employment and Immigration between 1981 and 1983, by means of written questionnaires returned by 4500 refugees. The report consists of eleven sections: 1) introduction; 2) methodology; 3) social and demographic characteristics of the refugees; 4) privately-sponsored refugees and their perceptions; 5) effectiveness of private sponsorship on economic adaptation of refugees; 6) participation of refugees in the job market; 7) incomes; 8) refugees and government services; 9) social adaptation; 10) analysis of data; and 11) policy recommendations. During 1979 and 1980, Canada accepted 60,000 refugees from Viet Nam, Laos and Kampuchea, of whom half were privately sponsored. The study found that: a) the refugees had little formal education compared with native-born Canadians or other recent immigrants; b) less than half the privately-sponsored refugees rated their sponsors as very helpful; and c) after three months, nearly half the respondents were employed although their average incomes were lower than those of Canadians. The authors' recommendations included: a new approach to language training; enrolment of refugees for retraining courses as soon as possible and with government assistance; the establishment of an emergency fund for private sponsors; and, recognition of the ethnic and cultural differences among Indo-Chinese refugees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The findings and recommendatins of US and Canadian studies on the mental health needs of Indochinese refugees provide the basis for a mental health project, outlined in this paper, for refugees settling in Canada. The author reviews the American experience, with its success stories of refugees who have adapted with comparative ease to the host community, and its casualties, which, according the 1979 Pennsylvania survey, were only then beginning to surface among the 1975 arrivals. The stress of uprooting and cultural adjustment had led to emotional problems, such as depression, anxiety, marital and inter-generational conflicts. In Canada, the Mental Health Report produced by the Greater Toronto Task Force on Indo-Chinese refugees identifies problems and high-risk subgroups among the refugee population and covers a range of actions that can be taken in all areas of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. This paper advocates a national mental health project, which would train Indochinese health workers, advise refugee-assisting agencies, provide direct services to refugees (possibly as part of a major psychiatric hospital, with facilities for in-patient care, partial hospitalization, out-patient treatment and emergency care) and coordinate research, programme evaluation and the development of effective and culturally appropriate preventive and therapeutic treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fall of Saigon in April 1975 resulted in the largest and most ambitious refugee resettlement effort in Canada’s history. Running on Empty presents the challenges and successes of this bold refugee resettlement program. It traces the actions of a few dozen men and women who travelled to seventy remote refugee camps, worked long days in humid conditions, subsisted on dried noodles and green tea, and sometimes slept on their worktables while rats scurried around them – all in order to resettle thousands of people displaced by war and oppression. After initially accepting 7,000 refugees from camps in Guam, Hong Kong, and military bases in the US in 1975, Canada passed the 1976 Immigration Act to establish new refugee procedures and introduce private refugee sponsorship. In July of 1979, the federal government under Prime Minister Joe Clark announced that Canada would accept an unprecedented 50,000 refugees – later increased to 60,000 – more than half of whom would be sponsored by ordinary Canadians. Running on Empty presents gripping first-hand accounts of the government officials tasked with selecting refugees from eight different countries, receiving and matching them with sponsors, and helping churches, civic organizations, and groups of neighbours to receive and integrate the newcomers in cities, towns, and rural communities across Canada. Timely and inspiring, Running on Empty offers essential lessons for governments, organizations, and individuals trying to come to grips with refugee crises in the twenty-first century.
