Regional disparties and prejudicial government policies

@ViaraGioreva

I think that's a very intriguing idea, though I have some worries about whether or not we'd be able to fit something like that in 6 questions. We may as well try though- later on when I have a bit more time I can, if you haven't, create a sub-forum for that discussion, since I think it diverges enough from this one to merit it's own topic. Volume of reported immigrant community and social connections would certainly be something very interested to look at it in terms of cultural assimilation, since I can see how it could entrench immigrants into their own community and make them feel segregated, or provide a means to feel more integrated in the country and "Canadian".

Heh, we may have to alter "preferred" and "not-preferred" to avoid a bit of stigma, but this achieves a fair bit of parsimony that would be, in my opinion, valuable in a survey like this. I'd be interested to know if the relationship you hypothesize exists, but not to get all negative-nancy, we'll still probably want to narrow it down a bit better. One of the areas that stands out to me is distinguishing between people who came for both familial ties and skills, or who came initially and brought their family over (as they would find themselves simulatenously existing in both groups). Going with Hiram's thought though, it might be more tangible and possible to explore whether or not perceived injustice at admission processes affect feelings of integration among immigrants.

I definitely think this topic is worth continuing to explore though, it's very interesting.
