- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300600003Description: Sense of belonging to Canada is a well-documented measure of immigrants’ social integration. However, it differs by sociodemographic characteristics such as years since immigration, age at immigration, admission category and population group. This study uses the 2020 General Social Survey to examine whether immigrants’ sense of belonging to Canada depends on their province of residence.Release date: 2023-06-28
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100900001Description:
In light of increasing Canadian immigration levels, an updated analysis of hospitalization patterns among immigrants to Canada, relative to the Canadian-born population, is needed to inform health care system policy and planning. Using immigrant landing administrative data linked to health care data, this descriptive study aims to examine hospitalization rates and leading causes of hospitalization, including mental health in immigrants and the Canadian-born population, stratified by sex and selected immigration 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 - Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100079Description:
This article examines the differences in COVID-19 related mortality rates across different ethno-cultural neighbourhoods in Canada. The differences in age-standardized mortality rates by proportion of population groups designated as visible minorities are compared for Canada and selected provinces and census metropolitan areas to understand whether or not communities with higher proportion of population designated as visible minorities are reporting higher COVID-19 related mortality rates.

This study provides new evidence on TB-related hospitalizations among new immigrants to Canada. It uses a unique linked data file (2000-to-2013 Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) linked to the Canadian Institute for Health Information's Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) from 2001/2002 to 2013/2014) that brings together information from immigrant landing records and hospital data for a maximum of 13 years to identify a TB-related hospital event after landing. Specifically, this paper provides a profile of the timing of TB-related acute care hospitalization, starting from the time of landing among immigrants who officially landed in Canada from 2000 to 2013, as well as an estimation of the burden of TB hospital care in Canada incurred by these recent immigrants relative to the total Canadian population.
Release date: 2018-07-18 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201700714843Description:
The analysis used two population-based linked databases (the Immigrant Landing File and the Discharge Abstract Database) to estimate age-standardized hospitalization rates overall and for leading causes among economic class principal applicant subcategories, by sex, compared with their Canadian-born counterparts.
Release date: 2017-07-19 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201601214688Description:
This study uses information from the Immigrant Landing File and the 2006 Census of Population linked to the Discharge Abstract Database to compare age-standardized hospitalization rates of refugees with those of other immigrants and the Canadian-born population.
Release date: 2016-12-21 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201600814648Description:
This study reports the initial results of the recent Immigrant Landing File-to-Discharge Abstract Database linkage – specifically, a bivariate overview of acute care hospitalization rates by immigration category, landing year, and source world region at the national level.

This study uses data from the 2006 Census of Population (long-form respondents) linked to administrative records to determine if hospitalization patterns among first-generation immigrants persist in the second generation, and if patterns differ between South Asians and Chinese subgroups, when socioeconomic covariates are taken into account.
Release date: 2015-10-21 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2014363Description:
Studies of immigrant well-being primarily focus on economic outcomes. However, immigrants often cite a desire to improve their general quality of life as their main motivation for migrating. This study compares life satisfaction among recent immigrants in Canada with life satisfaction in their country of origin and with the Canadian-born population, and provides an evaluation of the role that national-level economic and social factors play in immigrants’ life satisfaction.
