Prior to this book, the common sense perspective of canada was that it is a place. Different racial and ethnic groups are situated in stagnant places ie. overrepresentation in the lower strata.

Believed that the english and the french were at the top of the hierarchy, followed by northern and western europeans. 2014 changes to the live in caregiver program- women from foreign countries. The impact of colonization on indigenous groups in canada. Economic immigrants: skilled workers, self employed/business class, live in caregivers, provincial nominees.
