  abstract = {{T}he current research on transnationalism has paid little attention to the impacts of immigrants' sustained ties to their homelands on their relationships with ethnic communities in the host countries. {D}rawing on data from a qualitative study of economic immigrants from {C}hina to {C}anada, this article explores the new generation of {C}hinese immigrants' definitions and perceptions of and experiences with the {C}hinese community as both an ideational and an empirical entity. {H}aving faced various barriers to settlement and integration in {C}anada, these individuals tend to see {C}hina as closer to them than the established ethnic {C}hinese communities in {C}anada when it comes to fulfilling their needs for economic security, social support and, even, a sense of belonging. {T}he findings suggest the urgent need to understand the relationship between the new waves of immigration, the ethnic community, and transnationalism, and to reflect on the mosaic multicultural approach to ethnicity and immigrant governance in the context of diversification of diversity.},
