In short, yes, there is a deep need for research on this front. I think we often tend to focus on economic issues. On that front, we can do some investigation using the data linked to the IMDB data, but there isn't another longitudinal study of immigrants, such as the one that I used in 2012, that offers some insights.
The qualitative research that's out there, done by academics, shows that there is much mental health support, language support, child care support and elder care support. The work we did showed some evidence of care and support, but it didn't break it down. In this sense, it's really important to do this.
One of the obstacles researchers face, however, is that most of the datasets are based on individual newcomers, rather than thinking about newcomers as family units. It makes it not only difficult to try to see what the relationship is to parents and grandparents, but also to see the relationship with the children of newcomers who are here in Canada. In my view, it would be good to invest in better research into families as a whole, both for newcomers and for those who are Canadian by birth as well.
