In response to the immigrant parents coming here, I think their rationale for coming here is much simpler.

For my parents who came here when they were young, they said they were just young and naive. Their parents said to move out of Asia as it was not a good place and both my parents didn't really think twice, they just went, "Oh okay, I guess I should move to Canada since my parents said I should".

That's what their rationale was. They didn't think about their future or their children's future, they simply did it because other people were doing it and their family thought it was a good idea. They didn't analyze which country was better, they didn't research anything, they didn't even really think too hard about coming. Everyone else was moving away, so they assumed it was the right thing to do.

It definitely was, but they didn't put much thought into it.
