To those who study the integration of immigrants in Western countries, both Muslims and Canada are seen to be exceptions to the rule. Muslims are often perceived as unable or unwilling to integrate, mostly due to their religious beliefs, and Canada is portrayed as a model for successful integration. This book addresses the intersection of these two types of exceptionalism through an empirical study of the experiences of Muslim integration within Canadian society. Replete with practical implications, the analysis shows that instead of fixating on religion, the focus should be on the economic and social challenges Muslims in Canada face.
