Abstract

This article examines the role of immigrant women in shaping the economy of Canada. Women in a new environment have roles to play in job creation, networking, cultural input, and resistance to discrimination in the workplace. The strength of diasporic communities lies in their abilities to organize to find work or create it for themselves. Women have shown their ability to organize and bring to the public some of the discriminatory practices that have forced policy change by the government. The concept of the “enclave economy†cannot be ignored.
