Immigrants' housing choices, 1991 : background report / prepared by: Lapointe Consulting Inc. with Robert A. Murdie.: NH15-686/1995E-PDF

"This report describes differences in housing choices of immigrants and non-immigrants in Canada and in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. It also compares the housing choices of non-permanent residents to those of immigrants and non-immigrants. Based on an analysis of unpublished 1991 Census' data, focus group discussions, and a review of literature, it updates a previous study completed for CMHC using 1986 Census data. The report focuses on age-specific average household sizes and household headship rates, as well as tenure and dwelling type choices. In addition, it also explores how immigrant housing choices vary by factors such as place of birth, period of immigration, and income, and includes a multivariate analysis of tenure choice. An assessment is made of the implications of identified differences in immigrant and non-immigrant choices for long-term projections of household growth"--Abstract.
