Canada's recent immigrants : a comparative portrait based in the 1996 Census / prepared by Informetrica Limited.: MP22-20/1-2001E-PDF

This report presents a portrait of post-1980 immigrants to Canada, providing information drawn from the 1996 census on the immigrants' origin and background, family and household structure, participation in the economy, income, and housing. It compares this information with the characteristics and circumstances of earlier immigrants and of Canadian-born people, showing that while the more recent immigrants differ from their predecessors in many ways, there is also considerable continuity. The report also provides portraits of recent immigrants to 13 major Canadian urban centres.
