Abstract

Homeownership is a primary aspiration for many immigrants to Canada, and although copious literature follows the progression of newer arrivals, much less research focuses on the success levels of their children, particularly those born in Canada. In this article, we look at the homeownership rates of second-generation Black, Chinese, South Asian, and White Immigrants, comparing them to each other and their first-generation counterparts. We find significant differences across groups but striking similarities between first and second-generation immigrants from the same racialized groups. This suggests that race-based ‘homeownership hierarchies’ are durable and cannot be fully explained by factors associated with immigration.
