Children in immigrant families from Hong Kong, Mainland China, and the Philippines living in Toronto and Montreal are at higher risk of Emotional Problems than children in immigrant families in Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver (Beiser et al., 2010). The current publication explores human capital, social capital, institutional receptivity, and perceptions of welcome as explanations for regional disparities. Parent's lack of linguistic fluency, and depressive symptoms provided the most likely explanation for Montreal's mental health disadvantage. Immigrant human and social capital, poor home-school relationships, marginalization, and lack of neighborhood organization contributed to the prediction of risk for emotional problems among immigrant children in Toronto, but may not fully account for differences between Toronto and Vancouver.
来自中国香港、中国大陆和菲律宾的移民家庭的儿童在多伦多和蒙特利尔生活，比在温尼伯、卡尔加里、埃德蒙顿和温哥华生活的移民家庭的儿童更容易出现情绪问题 (Beiser 等人，2010 年)。本出版物探讨了人力资本、社会资本、制度接受度和受欢迎程度的看法，以解释区域差异。父母语言能力不足和抑郁症状最有可能解释蒙特利尔心理健康方面的劣势。移民的人力和社会资本、不良的家校关系、边缘化和缺乏邻里组织导致多伦多移民儿童出现情绪问题的风险增加，但可能无法完全解释多伦多和温哥华之间的差异。
