The changing face of the immigrant farm operator / by Stephanie Tam and Matthew Shumsky.: CS96-325/2019-3E-PDF

"Immigrants have played a significant role in shaping Canada’s agricultural industry. Some immigrants become farm operators, managing the day-to-day operations of their own farms. Results from the 2016 Census of Agriculture, along with data from the 2016 Census of Population, show that immigrants made up 8.7% of Canadian farm operators, accounting for 23,440 people. In 1996, immigrants made up 10.2% of Canadian farm operators, accounting for 39,620 people"--page 3.
