“…Immigrants' geographical location was found to be an important factor influencing labour market integration (Buzdugan and Halli 2009) and incidence of poverty (Picot et al 2008). This finding which indicates that newcomers who reside in the most popular immigrant destinations-Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto-were less likely to own homes relative to other immigrants in other CMAs may be due to the expensive housing markets in these areas; making it difficult for immigrants to attain homeownership (Simone and Newbold 2014).…”

“…Therefore, the reduction in social housing stock over the decades has pushed low income earners including refugees and immigrants into the housing markets where prices are determined by market forces (Skaburskis and Mok 2000;Bunting et al 2004;Murdie 2008). A recent study by Simone and Newbold (2014), suggests that overpriced housing markets in the most popular immigrant destinations in Canada (Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto) makes homeownership difficult. In earlier research, Moore and Skaburskis (2004) found that housing affordability determined by income levels is identified as critical in influencing the geographical locations low income groups such as immigrants can opt to live.…”

“…In summary, the main empirical and theoretical explanations for immigrant housing experience and housing careers as a whole in Canada, and indeed North America, has centred on availability or provision of adequate housing units (Hackworth and Moriah 2006;Dalton 2009), the nature of housing markets (Moore and Skaburskis 2004;Edmonston 2004;Teixeira 2009;Simone and Newbold 2014), and immigrants socioeconomic background at arrival (Murdie 2002;Haan 2005;Teixeira 2006;Ghosh 2007). These explanations suggest that immigrants are circumscribed within existing socio-economic structures which are responsible for defining their housing consumption behaviours.…”

Impact of Remittance Behaviour on Immigrant Homeownership Trajectories: An Analysis of the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants in Canada from 2001 to 2005

Although homeownership is recognised as an important marker of immigrant integration in Canada, overall evidence suggests a declining trend in homeownership among immigrants in the last two decades. The factors scholars have focused on in their attempt to explain immigrant housing trajectories and overall homeownership trends tend to be dominated by immigrant characteristics and the circumstances prevailing in the housing market. This research extends this attempt at understanding immigrant housing trajectories by examining the influence of remittances. Using data from the longitudinal survey of immigrants in Canada we applied negative log-log regression modelling techniques to examine the influence of remittances on homeownership over time among recent immigrants in Canada. The results indicate that participation in remittance has negative consequences for homeownership over time. The findings make a case for the inclusion of immigrant transnational engagement in the attempt to explain immigrant integration.

“…Immigrants' performance of belonging in and around the GTA's networked enclaves was largely influenced by their housing trajectory. Home ownership is a desired outcome for the vast majority of newcomers in Canada (Simone & Newbold, 2014) and is an important marker of spatial and temporal permanence and belonging (Lung-Amam, 2017). In this study, property ownership of singledetached homes was necessary to support the multigenerational living preferred by many participants, and the affordability of housing in the suburbs was a major draw to Peel Region.…”

Globalization has increased the flow of transnational migrants into many European and North American cities. These shifting socio-demographic patterns have resulted in the rapid development of ‘cosmopolitan’ urban centres where difference and diversity are ubiquitous (Sandercock, 2003). However, as ethnic enclaves form outside the urban core in suburban communities, there is uncertainty about whether cultural homogeneity is desirable or sustainable in a multicultural country. Indeed, planning communities for increasing diversity and difference will remain, what Leonie Sandercock (2004) calls, “one of the greatest tasks for planners of the 21st century”. Thus, this article uses the theory of hyper-diversity to illuminate how immigrants’ interactions with their local suburban community represents cultural pluralism and diversity beyond ethnicity. Specifically, this study explores differing attitudes, activities and lifestyles among diverse immigrant populations in the Region of Peel, one of the fastest growing and most culturally diverse areas in Canada. Focus groups with 60 immigrant youth and 55 immigrant adults were conducted to qualitatively capture perspectives and experiences in ethnic enclaves. The findings highlight the existence of attitudes in favor of multicultural lifestyles, activities that take newcomers beyond the borders of their enclaves, and lifestyles that require additional infrastructure to support sustainability of immigration in the suburbs. In conclusion, this article adds to the debate on cultural pluralism and ‘homogeneous’ ethnic enclaves by using the emergent concept of hyper-diversity as a way to think about the future sustainability of suburbs in an era of global migration.

“…We used longitudinal empirical data that spanned the eight months following a refugee's grant of asylum and binary logistic regression to assess the relative importance of factors associated with refugee homelessness that have been identified in the existing literature. Although longitudinal surveys of refugee homelessness have been conducted in Australia (Flatau et al, 2015) and Canada (Hiebert, 2009;Mendez et al, 2006;Simone & Newbold, 2014), such analysis has not previously been carried out for England. Our analysis underlines the centrality of immigration policy to the production of refugee homelessness, while also demonstrating the impact of certain broader life experiences and demographic characteristics.…”

The Newly-Recognised Refugees Most at Risk of Homelessness in England

The contribution of this paper is to analyse statistical data to assess whether homelessness among people who have recently been granted refugee status in England is concentrated amongst particular groups of these refugees. The methodology was quantitative analysis using logistic regression of the Home Office’s Survey of New Refugees (SNR), which they carried out in 2005-7. We tested the relative role played by pre-migration demographic factors, post-migration life experience factors, and government immigration policy in accounting for patterns found, and drew on literature to interpret the meaning of our statistical results. Our analysis clearly suggests that refugee and asylum policy contribute to homelessness among newly-recognised refugees. This interpretation is supported by the qualitative evidence from services providing assistance to refugees, and evidence put to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees (2017). Action to address the housing problems of refugees moving on from accommodation provided for asylum seekers should be considered a high policy priority, albeit that associations between homelessness, household size, and age also present intervention opportunities.
