Old Boys Down Home: Immigration and Social Integration in Halifax

International Planning Studies, 2013, vol. 18, issue 2, 204-220

Abstract: Canadian cities are active competitors in the process of recruiting immigrants to help them increase diversity, improve their economies, and stimulate population growth. This study of Halifax, a small city in eastern Canada, suggests that some features which make the city-region attractive for inter-provincial migrants - such as the easy pace of life, perceptions of homogeneity, and tight social networks - affect the ability of international migrants to integrate in the community.
