Abstrakt: Policy and debates around immigration over the last two decades have focused on immigrants' capacity to make meaningful contributions to the Canadian economy. This paper uses the Longitudinal Immigrant Data Base (IMDB) to analyze the economic outcomes of five cohorts of economic and family sponsored immigrants to Canada and Nova Scotia between 1990-1994 and 2010-2012. Analyses show that family sponsored immigrants achieve meaningful economic outcomes and at times even outperform economic principal applicants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
