From Haiti to Canada: The Migration That Binds
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study explores Haitian migration to Canada, the networks tying the two countries together, and the statecraft managing this movement during the decade beginning in 2010. The work investigates transnational spaces as a principal feature of contemporary Haitian migration and contends that Haitian cultural identity and solidarity within these spaces become decisive factors around why many Haitians choose to come to Canada. The concept of a diasporic lakou is highlighted as a transnational space of collectivist solidarity that provides a new and culturally inflected approach to future Haitian migration and migrant transnationalism research. Ideas of slow harm and ontological security are also integrated into this relational theoretical framework. Based on interviews in two Canadian provinces with people of Haitian backgrounds, empirical findings point to the intensifying impoverishment and insecurity generated by natural disasters and political instability in Haiti. Changing government provisions, agreements, and regulations on Haitian migration are also traced to deepen the analysis.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
