Asian Immigration in New Brunswick

Question

My patron would like to have as much information as possible about the asian immigrants in New Brunswick for the last 10 years (who, when, why, where etc.) The tables that I could find contain only general numbers of immigrants, where should I go?

Answer

I found a great product that I think will meet your needs for 2001 - 97F0009XCB2001040

Selected Demographic and Cultural Characteristics (69), Immigrant Status and Place of Birth of Respondent (21B), Age Groups (6), Sex (3) and Immigrant Status and Period of Immigration (11) for Population, for Canada, Provinces, Territories and Census Metropolitan Areas, 2001 Census - 20% Sample Data

It is available on the web as an html file, but I would strongly recommend that you download it from the FTP or the web in Beyond 20/20 format. It will be a lot easier to manipulate the data and paint the picture you want.

The path to follow is:
/ftp/dli/census/2001/B2020/Topic-Based-Tabulations/immigration-citizenship-b2020

For 1996, You will need 94F0004XCB - Dimension Series (Ethnocultural and Social Characteristics of the Canadian Population - Package # 10 , Profile of Immigrants).
