abstract = {Modern day Canada is perceived as a country that is open to immigrants, or even actually in need of migrants who would be willing to settle there. However, in the twentieth century, some immigrants of creative profession (artists, painters, writers, poets, journalists) who wanted to continue their professional activity in Canada faced different problems: both in adaptation with the host society and one’s own ethnic group. In this paper I would like to focus on the examples of some Polish emigrants (e.g.: Michal Choromański, Rafał Malczewski, Zofia Bogdanowiczowa, Jadwiga Jurkszus- Tomaszewska, Adam Tomaszewski, Wacław Iwaniuk, Florian Śmieja, Bogdan Czaykowski, Roman Sabo, Edward Zyman, Marek Kusiba) to present the peculiarity of the life of emigrant creators – the issues and obstacles they encounter both in Canadian society and in the Polish diaspora, as well as different individual strategies of avoiding or overcoming these problems.},
