A story about Bhutanese refugees and their experiences with the Canadian labour market.
From Refugee Newcomers in Metro Vancouver: changing faces and neighbourhoods 2010-2013:
"The Bhutanese refugees are descendants of Nepalese migrants that settled in Southern Bhutan in the late 1890's. In 1985, the Royal Government of Bhutan introduced the Bhutanese Citizenship Act. The Act, which is sometimes referred to as the "One Nation, One People Act", modified the definition of a Bhutanese citizen. This led to political tensions and protests and the eventual displacement of over 100,000 ethnic Nepalese from Bhutan to Nepal between 1988 and 1993. These refugees, estimated at 108,000 in 2007, have resided in camps in eastern Nepal since the early 1990s"
From 2009 to 2013 many refugees came to Canada and settled in more than 21 communities across Canada, including Vancouver.
