Listen now (45 min) | December 18 of every year is International Migrants Day. This annual day celebration was started in 2006 by the United Nations as a day to recognize and acknowledge the resilient spirit and contributions of migrants worldwide. It is against this backdrop that Aisha Jamal and I met in the Immigrant Life studio to discuss what today means for Canadian immigrants and Canada at large. Aisha Jamal moved to Canada as a refugee in 1991 and holds a Ph.D. in contemporary drama and cinema with a focus on ethnicity, race, and nation.
