Abstract

In an effort to shift migration flows away from traditional immigrant destinations in favour of smaller regions throughout Canada, regionalization has been one of the most critical trends in Canadian immigration policy. While previous literature abounds in analyses of migratory trends and retention patterns within main Canadian cities, far less focuses specifically on outcomes within non-Census Metropolitan Areas. In this paper, we outline the odds of immigrants remaining within these locations through an analysis of their intended destinations, admission category, source country, and pre-landing experience through a Cox Proportional Hazards Regression Model. Overall, intended destination, admission category, and source country are important factors in the successful recruitment and retention of immigrants in smaller Canadian cities, while pre-landing experience is found to play a less substantial role in these outcomes.
