Multiple food vulnerabilities of international students from India in Greater Toronto Area colleges: A pilot study
Research on the food insecurity of international students, who are uniquely positioned as both newly‐arrived immigrants and post‐secondary students, is extremely limited in the Canadian context. In this paper, we attempt to create awareness about this specific form of inequality by qualitatively analyzing the experiences of 30 international students from India, in community and private colleges located in the Greater Toronto Area. Our study demon…
Procedural environmental (in)justice at multiple scales: Examining immigrant advocacy for improved living conditions
Distributional injustices have been documented by many environmental justice scholars in recent years, while procedural justice issues remain less explored. For instance, immigrants and newcomers disproportionately experience substandard housing conditions and discrimination in the housing market, but few studies have examined how immigrant communities are seeking to improve their living conditions or engage in related governance and advocacy pro…
I am the over-educated maid who must also earn a good living: Exploring migration and sense of freedom among professional Indian women in Toronto
Since the mid-1980s, several Indian women novelists have enriched mainstream English literature with stories of educated, middle-class, Indian women migrating to and settling in North America. The novels assert that by migrating to North America, the protagonists were able to find ‘freedom’. In this paper, I question whether international migration necessarily leads to ‘freedom’ for this cohort of Indian women and argue that it their histories an…
Everyday Lives in Vertical Neighbourhoods: Exploring Bangladeshi Residential Spaces in Toronto's Inner Suburbs
In the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), almost a third of the total housing stock is comprised of high-rise apartment buildings. Not only do most new immigrants reside in these structures upon arrival, they often continue living here for a prolonged period, for a variety of interrelated economic and psychological reasons. It is therefore important to ask: How do these vertical structures affect the life worlds of the residents? What functi…
A Passage to Canada: The Differential Migrations of South Asian Skilled Workers to Toronto
‘Am I a South Asian, really?’ Constructing ‘South Asians’ in Canada and being South Asian in Toronto
In 2006, ‘South Asians’ emerged as the single largest visible minority group in Canada. Studies on their settlement experiences have concluded that ‘South Asians’ are a spatially segregated and economically struggling immigrant group. Juxtaposed to these findings however, there exists another image about ‘South Asians’, particularly in Toronto, where a majority of the newcomers have settled. This image is that of a mass culture, imbued with splas…
Does Spatial Concentration Always Mean a Lack of Integration? Exploring Ethnic Concentration and Integration in Toronto
Toronto is Canada's major immigrant-receiving city and contains a wide diversity of ethnic groups. Although Canadians are generally receptive to immigration there is evidence that some recent immigrant groups, especially those concentrated in Toronto's inner suburbs, are not faring well economically. In this research we question whether spatial concentration necessarily equates with a lack of integration. Specifically, we review Toronto's changin…
Transnational ties and intra-immigrant group settlement experiences: A case study of Indian Bengalis and Bangladeshis in Toronto
Transnationalism and identity: A tale of two faces and multiple lives
Transnational ties add new complexities to the continuous and dynamic processes of identity formation. Based on self‐reflexive narratives, this paper examines the authors’ identity transformations associated with their respective transnational experiences. We are two Asian women from India and China, respectively, who are international students pursuing doctoral degrees in Canada. Although we share similar demographic and economic backgrounds, we…
