I think Statistics Canada had an excellent publication last week on what's happening in terms of immigrants and poverty. Of course the story is not one that any of us would want to see. Immigrants in the current decade have faced considerable challenges in the labour market. They are doing considerably more poorly than previous cohorts of immigrants who came to Canada. I've forgotten the name of the report, but it's perhaps Poverty and Immigration or something.
