As many countries, including Australia, Canada, and the U.S., regularly welcome immigrants with diverse backgrounds, it is essential to understand whether immigrants moving to a new country can make informed decisions by consulting formal information agencies such as the immigration ministry. What information sources do immigrants consult to gather information about their life in a new country? How helpful are they in making informed decisions about life in their host country? What information is shared with immigrants by formal information agencies such as the immigration consultants?
A challenge associated with understanding reflexivity lies in its subjective interpretation, influenced by individual perspectives. In social sciences research, researchers acknowledge their identity and standpoint concerning participants, yet often neglect to integrate this awareness into the analysis phase. Reflexivity is linked to both our self-perceptions and our views of the world, reflecting our personal standpoint. This underscores the importance of recognising the presence of ‘monsters’ within qualitative data. In the context of qualitative analysis, monsters symbolise more than mere creatures of folklore or mythological beings. Instead, they represent manifestations of societal fears, anxieties, and cultural complexities that lurk beneath the surface of human experience. These monsters embody the collective imagination and subconscious of a society, reflecting its deepest fears, desires, and uncertainties.
