Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada: Process, progress and prospects
This article is based on the results from the first wave of interviews
conducted for the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC),
which was designed to study the process by which new immigrants adapt
to Canadian society. The article focuses on the initial experience of
newcomers. A few key areas of settlement are explored: immigrants’ destination
choice and the reason for that choice; initial experiences in finding
suitable housing, accessing health care services, pursuing further training
and entering the labour force; and difficulties encountered during the
settlement process.
