- Title
Slavic Brides in Rural Alberta.
- Authors
Rossiter, Marian J.
- Abstract
International correspondence (or mail-order) brides who are sponsored by Canadian husbands make up one group of Family Class immigrants to Canada. In this paper, I present findings from interviews conducted with Slavic women in urban and rural areas of Alberta. I discuss the expectations of women seeking husbands from First World countries and the realities that they encounter following their arrival in Canada. I outline their language and settlement circumstances and make recommendations for effective responses to their particular situations.
