In this episode, Zehra and Yecid question what we mean by being a Canadian immigrant or a Canadian citizen. We wonder what Canadian values are and how we are supposed to integrate into the system. Zehra’s research look at Turkish and Kurdish immigrants in Canada by using a photovoice approach to understand their experiences and ultimately to question what we are all doing for immigrants
