I completely agree with you Jessica, targeting a student population would provide us with little valuable knowledge on the realities of immigration settlement. Since international students come to UBC to study, they don't usually work more than p/t and their education is often paid for by their families, loans etc. Their views immigration settlement would be much different from others who have settled in BC in search of work/better opportunities for their family rather than educational purposes. If we can somehow branch outside of UBC and look at immigrant populations throughout the lower mainland that would be extremely significant towards our proposed research.
