abstract: 'The problem of attracting and retaining immigrants and refugees to rural
parts of Canada has recently emerged as a policy response to declining
population growth outside of urban areas, with particular policy
attention focused on immigration to the Atlantic Provinces. While there
has been increased scholarly attention paid to the integration outcomes
of recent immigrants and refugees to Canada who settle outside of major
cities, the bulk of this research has focused on the settlement
experiences of newcomers to smaller cities and suburban regions. Little
attention has been paid to the settlement experiences of immigrants and
refugees to rural parts of the country. Given the dominance of private
car ownership for getting around rural Canada, this article examines how
car consumption arises as a crucial component of the rural settlement
process, both from the point of view of accessing services and
employment, but also from the point of view of forming an affective
connection to rural places. Grounded in an analysis of interviews with
immigrants and refugees to North-eastern Nova Scotia, the authors
develop two key findings. First, the lack of public transportation
options in rural areas pushes newcomers to prioritize car ownership as a
means of accessing employment and other crucial services. Second,
participant narratives of car consumption reveal rural newcomers''
complex affective relationship to cars that highlight the importance of
vehicles to developing a sense of independence and belonging, further
underlining the role that cars play in rural Canada''s evolving identity
as an immigration destination.'
