Abstract:	In this paper, the working experiences (both paid and unpaid) of South Asian immigrant women in B.C. and Ontario are surveyed and a theoretical exploration of their connection to the larger capitalist labor processes is conducted. Canada is viewed as an advanced capitalist social formation, which has historically been resource – rich and population poor. The responsibility to right this imbalance has been taken on by the Canadian government through its immigration policies. Theoretical discussions are engaged in to clarify the links and contradictions between class and immigration, between gender and class, between race and class and between gender, race and class.
