Also, past surveys found that
the health status of
European and non-European descent
Canadians
did not differ. In fact there
was a “healthy immigrant
effect” whereby immigrants
to Canada
showed superior health status
to those born in
Canada. However, recent data
from the National
Population Health Survey shows
that the health
of non-European immigrants –
especially recent
immigrants of colour – shows
deterioration over
time as compared to Canadian-born
residents and
European immigrants.
