Abstract

This study compares the perceptions held by immigrants and Canadian-born people of shared democratic values—such as human rights, gender equality, and ethnic and cultural diversity—in Canadian society. Compared with Canadian-born people, a proportionally larger share of immigrants believed that Canadians share such values to a great extent. This difference in perception varied across regions: it was more evident in the Prairies and less evident in the Atlantic provinces. The perception of shared values was greater among recent immigrants when compared with established immigrants. While those who arrived in Canada as adolescents or adults had more favourable perceptions of shared values, immigrants who arrived during their childhood had perceptions of shared values similar to those of Canadian-born people. Immigrants from different entry classes (refugees, economic immigrants, and family sponsored immigrants) held similar perceptions of shared values in Canadian society.
