Popis: A comparison of immigrant and non-immigrant families in Canada based on unpublished data from the 1986 Census of Canada indicates that immigrant families have stronger family ties and higher income than their nonimmigrant counterparts. This could be partly because immigrant families contain higher proportions of their members at prime working ages higher proportions with three or more employment income recipients and higher proportions working full year full time....The multivariate analysis of family income indicates that age and family type have overwhelming effects and that place of birth is third in importance.
