Out-Migration of Canadians Between 1996 and 2006 : Evidence from Canadian Censuses

Comparing Research Data Centre (RDC)'s 20% Confidential Sample of Canadian Censuses 1996, 2001, and 2006, this paper models and measures whether, how many, and who of Canadians and Canadian landed immigrants entered and left Canada between 1996 and 2006. Further breaking the total sample into different categories by demographic characteristics, the model studies the relationship between each demographic characteristic and degree of out-migration for that category. *This paper is part of my projects in my tenure as 2008-09 Post-Graduate Research Fellow at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, Vancouver, Canada
