Title: Chapter One - Immigrant Success: How is it achieved?
Author: Grace M. Anderson
Source: Networks of Contact: The Portuguese and Toronto
Economic success is the principle motive behind Portuguese migration to Canada. Popular Portuguese mythology points to four basid ingredients in the recipe for success. These are:
- good contacts
- luck
- education and/or technical "know-how"
- motivation
For most of these individuals, "success" can be measured by income alone.
The focus of this book centres upon Networks of Contact or the importance of who the immigrant knows. The author asks a set of crucial questions in this regard.
