Immigration in Nova Scotia: Who Comes, Who Stays, Who Leaves, and Why? (interim report)

This is the second report from a three-part project to examine immigration to Nova Scotia, why people come here, which of them stay or leave, and why. It begins with a review of theoretical literature on immigration, which considers questions such as: Why migrate in the first place? What is involved in migration decisions? Where do people settle in the country of destination? Who is more likely to move? Are economic considerations the only determining factors in the migration decision?
