Hello folks in denial about where the breadwinner works overseas but owns a house in Vancouver or Toronto (or Melbourne etc.) that is either empty or else contains a spouse and kids...

... Wow. Well, to maintain your false view, you will want to avoid looking at books and papers that examine, in Canada, these families (called parachute families, astronaut families, satellite families), such as:

- Astronaut households and the experiences of lone mothers in Vancouver
- Chinese transnational families and the male experience of lone parenting in Canada
- Millionaire Migrants: Trans-Pacific Life Lines
- Transnational Ruptures (" ...in Vancouver, which establishes spatially split 'Astronaut' families as a strategy for business and personal success")
- Immigrant Adaptation in Multi-ethnic Societies
- Saltwater City: Story of Vancouver's Chinese Community
- International Handbook of Chinese Families
- Return Migration of the Next Generations: 21st Century Transnational Mobility
