What are unique challenges of global migration on Latin American families in Canada? Latin  American  immigrants  in  Canada  are  not  flourishing  in  comparison  to  other  groups.  One can  see  this  by  looking  at  a  number  of  indicators  including,  low  high  school  and  university  graduation rates, low representation at advanced level classes, high drop our rates.   At the group level,  Latin  American  face  high  unemployment,  poor  housing,  and  relative  poverty.  One  of  the  barriers  which  immigrant  parents  may  encounter  in  the  process  of  acculturation  into  their  new  country  is  differing  expectations  about  how  children  should  behave  in  school.  Major  conflicts  may  arise  from  differences  relating  to  the  whole  range  of  child  rearing  and  care  issues,  with  particular emphasis on the ways of handling misbehaviors of children.
