Remembering integration: Salvadoran refugee resettlement in 1980s Manitoba
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The civil war in El Salvador displaced millions of people between 1979 and 1992. Throughout this time, Canada maintained some of the most liberal refugee admittance laws in North America, granting asylum to over 80% of Salvadoran applicants. As a result, over 37,000 Salvadorans arrived in Canada over the course of the 1980s—many qualifying as government-assisted refugees. By 1996, there were 755 people with Salvadoran ancestry living in the Prairie province of Manitoba. Using a selection of six oral history interviews conducted by the Salvadoran Voices of Manitoba Project, this thesis explores what Salvadorans in Winnipeg remembered as the important circumstances of their initial integration with the retrospect of having lived over twenty-five years in Canada. It argues that Salvadorans actively used discussions of immigration challenges to prove that they had integrated into Canadian society by the time of their interviews.

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.
