Unfortunately, the link that Robb sent yesterday keeps breaking due to
length, and when copied into the browser comes up only with Statistics
Canada Daily (so today's issue). So, I went hunting for the specific
document.
Here's a shorter link directly to the interesting document. Thanks Robb
for sharing it with us!
http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/050223/d050223c.htm
By the way, searching through Stats Can for "dynamics of immigrants'
health" did not work - possibly they haven't indexed the article / survey
report yet.
