Abstract
Abstract As a well-known immigrant-receiving country, Asian immigrants constitute most immigrants in Canada. However, the understanding of cultural diversity and intra-cultural similarities and differences among aging immigrants’ civic activities is limited. A mixed-methods study was conducted to examine civic participation experienced by Filipinos, Indians, and Chinese, since they are the three largest ethnocultural communities in Edmonton. Thematic analysis related to research questions was used for data analysis. Findings show diversity in the understanding of civic engagement and willingness, and their understanding and engagement in civic activities are affected by culture-related factors such as country of origin, time since immigration, citizenship status, greater official language proficiency, and pre-migration participation in activities. Public policies, such as immigration and integration policies (e.g., multiculturalism, diversity, and social inclusion), also influence immigrants’ civic participation. The findings suggest that cultural diversity should be considered in promoting civic activities among aging immigrants.

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 it
