Korean Immigration Interview Report

Questions to go over at the meeting
- How much can I write based on my own personal knowledge and not have to cite it? (facts such as traditions and customs vs. personal observations such as a statement “Koreans and Chinese tend to anglicise their names more than the rest of the East Asian counterparts” )
- What are some of the criteria that I should use to filter out the “bad” research other than peer-reviews?
- Additional interview questions o Did you feel the need to adopt an English name? o Do you like the way it sounds when your name is pronounced by English-speakers?
- Do I need to formulate a conviction in the introduction? Ex. “name is always social…” under the section ‘Significance of name’
- How detailed and long should the introduction
Business-class immigration dominated over family-immigration that has been dominant since the _____ for the first time up until the mid-1990s, and education levels of Korean immigrants started to rise (Noh et al., 2012 p.8). This can be attributed to not only the expansion of business-class immigration program from Canada, but also the structural developments in Korea, such as its strong economic growth, and political stabilisation that allowed for the nation’s first fair democratic election (Noh et al., 2012 p.10-11, Kil 2001
The skyrocketed flow simmered down quickly (see Figure 1), as the crisis officially ended in late 1999 (Noh et al., 2012 p11, Koo & Kiser, 2001 p33). Between 1996 and 2001, the number of people of Korean origin in Canada increased by 53%, compared to the country’s overall population growth of 4%. In 2001, Korean Canadians made up 7th largest non-European ethnic group in the country with just over 100,000 people living in Canada; 70% of them were foreign-born (Lindsay, 2007
