Notes: Adjusted landed rate from probit regression on four entry cohorts, permit type, gender, age, source country, skill level and intended provinces. There is a negative correlation between the adjusted transition rates and the log of PPP-adjusted GDP per capita in the source country. Source countries with fewer than 20 cases are not shown. The countries that are in boldface are identified on the chart because they are used as examples. GDP: gross domestic product; PPP: purchasing power parity.
