Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada: Process, progress and prospects
Abstract
The Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC), conducted jointly
by Statistics Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada under the Policy
Research Initiative, is a comprehensive survey designed to study the process
by which new immigrants adapt to Canadian society. About 12,000 immigrants aged
15 and older who arrived in Canada from abroad between October 2000 and September
2001 were interviewed. By late 2005, when all three waves of interviews will
have been completed, the survey will provide a better understanding of how the
settlement process unfolds for new immigrants.
The results of this survey will provide valuable information on how immigrants
are meeting various challenges associated with integration and what resources
are most helpful to their settlement in Canada. The main topics being investigated
include housing, education, foreign credentials recognition, employment, income,
the development and use of social networks, language skills, health, values
and attitudes, and satisfaction with the settlement experience.
