Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada's current immigration policy, titled theImmigrant Investor program, is aimed at attracting investors and entrepreneursto immigrate to Canada and invest in its economy. The goals, objectives andresults of this innovative immigration program are analyzed. Ten Chinese business owners in the Chinatown section of Montreal who weremembers of the Centre d' Integration Chinois de Montreal, and had enteredCanada in the entrepreneur program within the last five years, were interviewedusing semi-structured interview questionnaires. The interviews revealed that immigrant investors were reluctant to invest inknowledge-based technology industries and manufacturing. Instead, they followedethnic business strategies that resulted in co-ethnic and service providingbusinesses that hire co-ethnics.Fear of financial risk, bank loanrefusals, and the familiarity factor had contributed to the entrepreneurialimmigrant's business patterns. Also, the two-year time limit for setting up abusiness often resulted in the immigrant businessmen setting up businesses thatdid little benefit to the economy and often competed with existing businesses.(VRS)

Not 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.
