Let’s Talk: Pathways of the Emigrant Elite (Second Attempt)
Details
Revisiting this topic, as timing didn’t work out for many last time.
(Just to clarify — it’s simply a conversation for those who share an interest in the topic, with some questions to guide us.)
What does it truly mean to be a “successful” immigrant? Is it simply about income or education—or does it involve achieving real social influence, recognition, and equality of opportunity?
Join us for a group discussion where we’ll reflect on these questions, drawing lightly from a sociological article that explores how emigration shapes people’s chances, identities, and ambitions. We’ll also look at how not all immigrants are treated or seen the same way—even when they arrive with skills or degrees.
📌 Explore a real-life dossier of a successful immigrant in Vancouver—available right now via the link—and catch the next inspiring story at the end of the meeting.
📍 Located in the downtown area; exact location will be announced shortly
