Conclusion

• This is the end of our project about
  Filipino immigration. They came to Canada in
  three waves, in different groups, for different
  reasons. A lot of Filipinos made themselves
  comfortable and feel good away from the economic
  problems. Thats mainly all the different waves
  on how they immigrated to Canada. I hoped you
  learned new things about this project.
