Filipino Experiences of Family Reunification in Alberta

Summary

It is common for Filipinos from the Philippines to travel overseas for work and to send remittances back home to their families. In some cases, Filipinos are able to settle in Canada and sponsor their families so they may begin to resettle together in Canada. This study looks to explore the reunification experiences of parents and their children separated due to needing to find work overseas and are able to reunify in Alberta, Canada though pagkikipagkwentuhans (group story telling).
