The Mexican Presence in Canada: Liberality, Uncertainty, and Nostalgia.

Whittaker, Elvi

Journal of Ethnic Studies, v16 n2 p29-46 Sum 1988

Data are presented about Mexicans who immigrate to Canada. Two populations are distinguished. They are the following: (1) immigrants by choice who adopt Canadian ideology and see Mexico as a failing society; and (2) those who still embrace Mexican culture but come to Canada because of tempting offers of a better future in marriage.
