Closing the Nation's Doors to Immigrant Women: The Restructuring of Canadian\n Immigration Policy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper rejects the notion that Canada's immigration program is race or gender neutral in principle.Examining the changes introduced by the Immigration Act of 1976-77, I demonstrate how that Act represented historical continuities in racial izing and gendering the nation and immigrants.Furthermore, the current restructuring of immigration will greatly reduce the access of third world women to enter Canada as landed immigrants who can subsequently make claims to citizenship.RESUME Cet article rejette l'idee que le programme d'immigration du Canada est en principe neutre sur la question de la race ou de l'equilibre entre les sexes.En etudiant les changements introduits par la Loi sur l'immigration de 1976-77, je demontre comment la Loi a represents la continuity historique en mettant une importance sur la race et sur les sexes.De plus, la restructuration actuelle de l'immigration reduira enormement I'acces aux femmes du Tiers monde d'entrer au Canada en tant qu'immigrantes recues et de pouvoir subsequemment demander la citoyennete.

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.
