Chinese Diasporas in Canada: Historical Underpinnings, Current Reflections, and New Trends
“I feel more Canadian with hockey.” Identity and Belonging via Ice Hockey in a Diverse Canada
This paper explores the relationship between the participation in organized ice hockey by immigrants and racialized minorities (compared to those born in Canada and who are white) and their sense of national identity and sense of belonging to Canada. A Bourdieusian theoretical framework is utilized to conceptualize hockey in terms of a field, habitus, and cultural and symbolic capital. The argument is made that hockey is Janus-faced and a contest…
Hockey in Canada: Indigeneity, Ethnic/Racialized Minorities and the Nation
Hockey in Canada: Indigeneity, Ethnic/Racialized Minorities and the Nation Lloyd L. Wong (bio) and Martine Dennie (bio) The game of hockey first emerged in Canada well over a century ago and is often described as a reflection of Canadian society (Metcalfe 1987). A popular discourse of hockey is one in which Canadians are passionate about ice hockey, claim ownership of hockey as “their” game and that hockey is quintessentially Canadian (Gruneau an…
Cancelled Dreams: Family Reunification and Shifting Canadian Immigration Policy
Drawing on a collection of personal interviews with immigrant families, this article documents the impact of recently introduced restrictive family reunification policies on immigrants living in Canada today. Since 2008, Canadian immigration policy has changed dramatically with renewed neoliberal emphasis on economic immigrants and labor-market integration. This article explores the impact of this policy shift on immigrant families and on immigra…
An Aging Workforce and the Future Labour Market in Canada
The aging workforce poses perplexing policy challenges, even in Canada, which is demographically young among comparable countries. We ask what the evidence shows about whether there are, or will be, labour or skills shortages as the workforce ages. Highlighting the challenges of measuring labour/skills shortages, we explore peer-reviewed research in the 2000–2013 period. No evidence is found of a national labour shortage in the foreseeable future…
Measuring Social, Cultural, and Civic Integration in Canada: The Creation of an Index and Some Applications
Cet article présente un segment d’un projet de recherche fondé par le Prairie Metropolis Center . L’Enquête sur la diversité ethnique, une large bande de données collectées au Canada, nous permet de développer un répertoire précis pour mesurer l’intégration sociale, culturelle et civique des immigrés dans ce pays, puis de l’appliquer sélectivement pour en tirer quelques analyses comparatives. Après avoir défini l’intégration, nous examinons ce qu…
Transnationalism, Active Citizenship, and Belonging in Canada
Transnational identities, practices, and institutions are not really and have likely existed in some form over the past few hundred years and perhaps back to the peace of Westphalia in the mid iooos. While the technological transformations in previous centuries facilitated transnationalism, such as trans-oceanic steamships and the telegraph, it has only been recently that the cost of bridging long geographic distances has been cut dramatically.1 …
Taiwanese Immigrant Entrepreneurs in Canada and Transnational Social Space
This article explores the migration of Taiwanese immigrant entrepreneurs to Canada and their transnationalism. Their presence in Canada is documented and described with statistical data on their demographic characteristics, human capital, and economic capital. An assessment of their transnationalism is provided by primary qualitative data gathered through in‐depth interviews. Overall, the review of the literature on Taiwanese migration to various…
Chinese Business Migration to Australia, Canada and the United States: State Policy and the Global Immigration Marketplace
This paper examines business migration to Australia, Canada and the United States by integrating the concepts of a global immigration marketplace and the commodification of citizenship into global political economy theory. It finds that state business migration policies constitute “offers” to potential businesspersons, in a discourse of “competition” and simultaneously regulate the process. In the sorting process of potential migrants across coun…
The emergence of small transnational enterprise in Vancouver: The case of Chinese entrepreneur immigrants

The entrepreneurs are analyzed utilizing a transnationalism framework which is situated in the ethnic enterprise literature. The article explains how these…
Global Celebrity Athletes and Nationalism: Fútbol, Hockey, and the Representation of Nation
Globalization scholars have pointed to a world of increasing transnationalism and deterritorialization that contributes to new meanings of identity and citizenship as the nation-state declines. Sports, and their transnational labor migration, play an important role in both undermining and strengthening nations and national identities. In this context, this article examines two superstar and global celebrity athletes in the sports of fútbol and ho…
Globalization and Transnational Migration: A Study of Recent Chinese Capitalist Migration from the Asian Pacific to Canada
This article utilizes the perspective of transnationalism to explain Chinese capitalist migration from the Asian Pacific to Canada in the context of globalization. It is argued that transnationalism, and particularly the process of transmigration, provides a new and useful way of theorizing the international migration of capitalists. The focus is on Chinese migrants who enter Canada under the auspices of the Canadian Business Immigration Program …

More specifically, structural models of migration, world systems, political economy and transna…
