Ethnic Spatial Segmentation in Immigrant Destinations—Edmonton and Calgary

Abstract

Immigrant destinations other than Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are often overlooked in Canadian immigration and settlement debates and discussions. Between 2011 and 2016, such destinations received over 40% of all immigrants arriving in Canada. This study endeavors to systematize the classification of communities where immigrants are destined to settle. It also explores the issue of spatial segmentation in two such places in Alberta-Edmonton and Calgary. In both metropolitan areas, ethnic spatial segmentation exists, but not at the same scale as in a large metropolis like Toronto. Both metropolitan areas still have a substantial population of established white Canadians who identify as Germans or Ukrainians, although most of them reside in rural parts of these two areas. However, the rest of the urban landscapes is a mix of the white Canadians and recently arrived visible minorities.

Structural Inequality, Homelessness, and Moral Worth: Salvaging the Self through Sport?

“…While this relationship continues, it faces no shortage of uncertainty, and funding is dependent on the benevolence of several branches of the nonprofit sector, different levels of government, charitable organizations, local businesses, and community support. The players themselves, moreover, continue to Edmonton as gentrification takes root in the city center and more families either settle or relocate to the suburbs in search of more affordable rental/housing prices (Agrawal and Kurtz, 2018). The opening of the publicly financed $613.7 million downtown arena and entertainment district in 2016 exacerbated these migratory patterns whilst placing extraordinary pressure on Edmonton's homeless and other city center residents forced to cope with rising real estate/property taxes and the associated influx of largely white, affluent residents.…”

Integrating Better but Multilingually: Language Practices of South Asian Immigrants for Settlement and Integration in Canada

“…Research on ethnic networks has revealed that certain ethnic groups, especially Chinese and South Asians, tend to live near their co-ethnic members because of high levels of social capital (Hiebert, 2014;Qadeer et al, 2010). For example, Agarwal and Kurtz (2019) have noted that Edmonton and Calgary have become top destinations for Chinese and South Asian immigrants because of the social and cultural institutions (e.g., faith centers, ethnic stores, and ethnic schools) that contribute to their settlement in Alberta. Portes (1998) defined social capital as a combination of trust, embedded relationships, and support networks.…”

“Language alludes to everything”: A pilot study on front-line worker experience with newcomer integration

“…When choosing a location in which research should take place, it is imperative to consider the context of newcomer influx into a community or city. Research has most commonly been conducted in those cities with the highest influx commonly referred to as "first-tier" cities in Canada (Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver) (Agrawal & Kurtz, 2019). "Second-tier" cities such as Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Ottawa are often missing from the research despite being some of the top destinations to receive immigrants who did not arrive in the aforementioned "first-tier" areas.…”
