Socioeconomic and Demographic Profiles of Immigrants in Atlantic Canada

This document constitutes a series of reports based on a project that analyzed the socioeconomic and demographic profiles of immigrants in Atlantic Canada. Analyses of immigrant inflows for the period 1981-2005, and of resident immigrants for the period 1981-2001, were conducted using descriptive tools of statistical analysis. The main source of immigrant inflow data was Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). Data on resident immigrants were based on five Canadian population censuses (1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001) and were obtained from Statistics Canada. Only some 2006 censusbased data were available at the time of writing this report and have been analyzed. Also, some data used in this study are not available in the public domain and were obtained either through direct purchase or through various agreements with data providers.
