Abstract
Chinese independent immigrants are entering Canada in increasing numbers. \nImmigration policy indicates that these individuals have skills that will enable them to \nquickly integrate into Canadian society. However, more than half of the Chinese \nindependent immigrants live below the poverty line in Canada. In order to gain insight \ninto the integration process, eight independent immigrants living in Victoria, B.C. \nwere invited to participate in a qualitative exploration. Through in-depth interviews, \nthe participants shared their experiences and perceptions of adaptation. \nThe participants revealed that their views were very different from the \nfindings of previous researchers and government policies. For these participants, \ncontribution to society was viewed as a priority. They saw the integration process as a \nhierarchy, with level of motivation as the main determinant that allowed them to move \nthrough various stages. Other factors identified by the participants that aided their \nimmigrant adaptation were favorable government policies, supportive host society \nmembers, and adaptation competence. Those factors that hindered adaptation included \nhigh-level language requirements, a sluggish Canadian economy, racial discrimination, \nineffective integration services and their Chineseness. The participants made several \nsuggestions to improve the integration process: transitional services, better \ninformation dissemination, and an immigrant education program with co-op and \nvolunteer opportunities.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
