What dictates successful economic integration for Indian immigrants in Canada?

Why do some Indian immigrants experience upward mobility in Canada while others never manage to fully integrate economically? Dr. Sandeep Agrawal, founding director of the graduate program in Urban Development at Ryerson University has recently completed a research project studying some of these trends.

While a typical successful Indian immigrant is young, well educated and well versed in English, some immigrants will all of these traits still fail to achieve upward mobility. Dr. Agrawal notes that other factors like the economic environment at the time of immigration, the demand for a specific skill set, and the recognition of foreign credentials all impact an individual’s immigration experience.

Dr. Agrawal’s study makes some interesting comparisons between the integration strategies of Indians and Chinese immigrants in Canada. He has found that many Chinese immigrants have achieved upward mobility in Canadian society by interacting primarily within their own ethnic economic sphere. Conversely, most Indian immigrants attempt to engage Canada’s mainstream economy. As a result, some Chinese achieve economic success in Canada without developing superior English language skills. For Indian immigrants, fluency in English is crucial.

Those interested in learning more about Dr. Agrawal’s findings will have to read his report entitled “Indian Immigrants in Canada: The Shades of Integration,” which is forthcoming as an Ontario Metropolis Centre Working paper. A subsection of the report entitled “High-Income Indian Immigrants in Canada” is also under-review at South Asian Diaspora journal for publication. For a sneak peak, please contact Dr. Agrawal directly: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Dr. Sandeep Agrawal has been a faculty member in the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Ryerson University for almost 10 years. He has a variety of planning experiences in federal, county, and municipal governments in the United States, where he earned his PhD. He has also practiced urban planning in Canada and India. Several of his publications are in the most prestigious journals in the planning, geography and ethnicity areas, including Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, the Canadian Journal of Urban Research and the Journal of International Migration and Integration.

This is really an interesting review. I have heard that it really is hard to get a passing score in order for you to migrate to Canada. These factors stated in the articles are hindrances for one to migrate to Canada.

English is not really that hard to learn. But some of the factors that makes it hard to get in to Canada are the requirements that they need for a particular immigrant to pass.

India is a slum, it is also corrupt and life is held very cheaply.  It also harbours a very racist and class ridden society.  Of course many want to escape, who can blame them.  The issue is that they come in such large numbers, then apply for the younger ones, and grandparents, who either rely on our healthcare or welfare or end up pushing drugs.  They import their values and end up creating slums (Toronto has many, Brampton is a slum resembling India).  I suggest that we need to evaluate where they got the money to move from India and whether or not the relatives can qualify for immigration on their own.  I also support the Australian requirement for private healthcare until they become Canadian citizens.

This is a very informative post. Immigrants (not only Indians) have to be educated and well-versed with the English language in order to achieve upward mobility in other countries. However, due to competition, it is difficult for a well-educated immigrant to be able to find suitable work in a foreign land still.Jordan

Well, I really think that a correct Marketing strategy would be a of great help. Just figure out a perfect marketing strategy to prove to them that you are capable of things that one does not realize. Its just like trying to sell something.
