@Juno- you would all be called first generation immigrants. If you really want, you can call the youngest, perhaps a child under X years old the 1.5 generation. My family and I immigrated to Canada together 35 years ago when I was a toddler. We all are first generation immigrants but since I grew up here and assimilated into the Canadian culture, lifestyle and upbringing, I consider myself 1.5 generation. I still am able to speak Chinese to my parents and grandparents. My children were born here, thus, according to webster's dictionary or wikipedia are second generation.
