While some people feel safer and happier assimilating to the Canadian culture and way of life by simultaneously giving up their own roots, others are unable to lead a normal life without an attachment to these roots. This essay will analyse three Japanese Canadian women from one family and their experiences in Canada. They are from different generations and each one of them has her own way of dealing with this topic, and each one of them has a different opinion concerning the question what it takes to set new roots in a new country and what it takes to be happy as an immigrant in a new country
