- Stats in brief: 11-627-M2022085Description:
Using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC), this infographic examines the suicidal thoughts and suicide mortality among immigrants in Canada. It also looks at the differences in suicide-related behaviours by sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics.

Many newcomers to Canada experience disruption to their social networks during migration and encounter barriers when establishing new relationships and connections, leaving them vulnerable to social and emotional loneliness. This article uses the 2018 General Social Survey to compare self-reported loneliness between immigrants and the Canadian-born population.
Release date: 2021-07-28 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100600001Description:
This study examines MHCs by immigrants and refugees-compared with those of Canadian-born respondents-while controlling for self-reported mental health and immigrant characteristics, using a population-based survey linked to immigrant landing information. This study, which is based on a linked database, allows for much richer insight into immigrant populations than most previous studies.
Release date: 2021-06-16 - Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100077Description:
This article examines the mental health outcomes (i.e., self-rated mental health, change in mental health since physical distancing began, and severity of symptoms consistent with generalized anxiety disorder in the two weeks prior to completing the survey) of participants in a recent crowdsource questionnaire who belong to population groups designated as visible minorities in Canada.
Release date: 2020-09-02 - 5. The mental health of immigrants and refugees: Canadian evidence from a nationally linked databaseArticles and reports: 82-003-X202000800001Description:
This study fills this gap by examining the self-reported mental health (SRMH) of immigrants by admission category and other immigration dimensions (e.g., source world region and duration since landing) and making comparisons with Canadian-born respondents to a population-based survey.
Release date: 2020-08-19 - Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100050Description:
This analytical article describes results from the crowdsourced survey "Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians: Your mental health" with a focus on the mental health of immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, this article explores the effects of social distancing on mental health, how the pandemic affects the symptoms of anxiety, and how perceived job and financial security affects mental health. This article also discuss the mental health differences between recent immigrants, established immigrants and Canadian born.

In its attempt to measure the mental health of Cambodian refugees in the U.S., Rand Corporation introduces novel methodology for efficiently listing, screening, and identifying households to ultimately yield a random sample of eligible participants.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - 8. Intergenerational Impact of Immigrants' Selection and Assimilation on Health Outcomes of Children ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2005247Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study undertakes three comparisons using Cycle 2 (1996-97) data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) in Canada. First, the study compares the health outcomes of children of the Native-born Canadian (NBC) group with those of the immigrant group in general. Differences are also investigated within the three immigrant sub-groups: the American immigrant group, the European immigrant group and Asian immigrant group. Second, this study tests the hypothesis that the children of any immigrant group in Canada would have a higher level of health outcomes for the same level of resources. Third, the study examines the association of time of residency of immigrants in different groups and the health outcomes of their children. An immigrant family is defined as one in which at least one of the parents is foreign-born. Health outcomes are measured by the PMK's (person most knowledgeable about the child) assessment of the child's health. Ordered logit models are employed for estimation. The children selected for analysis are 4 to 13 years of age.
The NLSCY data suggest that the health outcomes of children in the immigrant families in general are similar to that in the NBC group. However, the health outcomes of the Asian immigrant group are slightly lower and those of the American immigrant group are markedly better. Except for the American immigrant group, there is evidence that the children of any other immigrant group would have lower health status for the same level of resources. Decomposition results indicate that a higher level of observable and unobservable resources is responsible for markedly better outcomes for the American immigrant group; while a lower level of observable and unobservable resources is responsible for the lower level of outcomes for the Asian immigrant group. On the other hand, health outcomes are higher for the European immigrant group than for the NBC group when variation in resources is considered, while lower when variation in productivity coefficients is examined. Finally, there is statistical evidence that the health status of children of immigrant families would improve with the time of residency of immigrant parents, if it were lower initially. The findings of the study indicate that present health outcomes of children in the immigrant families, on average, are not a great concern. However, those of the Asian immigrant group may be a concern.
