Notes: Recent immigrants to Canada are immigrants who arrived in Canada in the last 10 years. Gross domestic product per capita is based on purchasing power parities. The adjusted R-squared values (unweighted models) are as follows: Model 1: 0.237; Model 2: 0.823. The R-squared values (weighted models) are as follows: Model 1: 0.187; Model 2: 0.861.
