It clearly stated that 2nd gen members and older of the enclaves were leaving after using the for community support to new people. Once the new people have integrated, they move on.

Egg-zack-tory!

I know lots of second gen Chinese people and if you spoke to them on the phone, you'd never know they aren't different from Mr. Jones in Accounting or Sally in HR. Almost all of them are die-hard hockey fans, speak perfect English and are highly educated and work professional careers like pharmacist, engineer, doctor etc. Most of them love to eat a variety of cuisines, watch the same TV as you and I, and as such are just as Canadian as any of us are.

It's always hard for immigrants to fit in, especially older immigrants, as learning a new language that is radically different from your own is not an easy thing at 30 years of age. I struggled mightily to get a basic grasp of Japanese when I lived and worked in Japan, while another teacher's 10 year old daughter picked it up super fast and spoke it better than I did in less time.

Trying to learn English if your native language is Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic is far more difficult than if your native language is French, German, or some other European language. Tack on a strange culture, climate, and environment and that's why so few first gen immigrants fully assimilate.

There needs to be some major immigration reforms in this country. The CPC should go even further in their proposed immigration legislation.

Notice some of the larger cities have become a mix of different ethnic ghettos. Selective immigration from Europe seems more appropriate since most already ackowledge Western Culture. As ''other'' immigrants impose their own culture without having to integrate, the ''Real Canadian'' values are becoming inconsequential.

Also, it is absurd that some new immigrants get free benefits and welfare and not having contributed a cent in taxes.

Nice sharing.Most of the immigrant in Canada are from Asia due to better immigration policies and career opportunities as well.
