Book Description
This report draws on the longitudinal Immigration Database which links immigrant characteristics at landing with their subsequent income tax filings to examine the economic performance of immigrants landed between 1980 and 1995. The focus is on the post-landing migration patterns of immigrants within Canada. A secondary purpose is to demonstrate the multiple levels of geography that can be explored using the Database and to present some new & unique information regarding the spatial concentrations of immigrants made possible by the immigration-taxation linkage that underlies the Database. The seven sections of the report cover the following: terminology & definitions of measures of migration; ultimate impacts of secondary migration; levels of in-migration compared to out-migration for each province; how soon immigrant tax-filers move after being admitted, and trends in in- and out-migration for selected tax-filer cohorts; characteristics of movers and non-movers; and comparison of various indicators of economic performance, including the level & incidence of employment earnings and the incidence of welfare payments.
