Dynamics of Immigrants' Health in Canada: Evidence from the National
Population Health Survey
1994/95 to 2002/03

Recent immigrants from non-European countries were twice as likely as the
Canadian-born to report deterioration in their health over an eight year
period, according to a new study using longitudinal data.

When immigrants arrive in Canada, they are generally in better health than
the Canadian-born population. An earlier study found that 97% of new
immigrants rated their health as good, very good or excellent six months
after their arrival, compared with 88% for the general population. However,
as time passes, this so-called "healthy immigrant effect" tends to diminish
as their health status converges with that of the general population...

employment, housing among new immigrants to Canada. -dr]
