“This Was My Only Option”: Career Transitions of Canadian Immigrants in Same-Sex Binational Relationships
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This phenomenological study explored the career transitions of 17 individuals who immigrated to Canada. These individuals were in same-sex binational relationships and faced immigration challenges because their relationships were not recognized by the U.S. government. As such, they felt forced to immigrate to Canada and, as a result, had to renegotiate their careers. Results demonstrated that participants faced challenges throughout their career transitions in the United States (student visas, work visas, living undocumented) as well as in Canada (lack of networks, transferability of credentials, presence of discrimination). Participants also discussed their decision to immigrate and how it affected their career transition. Finally, implications for counseling are addressed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
