Abstract: The smooth integration of new immigrants into the mainstream society is always a big concern for the Canadian government. The cultural capital theory by Bourdieu holds whether people invest in education has a great effect on their position in the labor market. As a matter of fact， cultural capital has become a direct symbol for measuring new immigrants social status in Canada. However， what the Chinese newcomers have encountered in Canada is manifested by an exclusion theory from the perspective of cultural capital， including mainly three types — selfelimination， overscreening and devalued deposition， any of which may hinder Chinese new immigrants integration into the mainstream society of Canada.

Key words: Canada, cultural capital, integration, Chinese new immigrant
