title: Internal migration for recent immigrants to Canada.
abstract: "This study examines the extent to which internal migration among recent immigrants to Canada is affected and constrained by characteristics related to admission.  By examining measures of information and personal ties, it may be possible to establish that migration behavior is rational regardless of economic incentives."  It is suggested that "internal migration in the first year after arrival is strongly affected by characteristics such as admission status, destination at arrival, reason for immigration, and area of origin.  With increasing length of residence in Canada, though, the effect of these admission factors on internal migration behavior diminishes."  This is a revised version of a paper originally presented at the 1992 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America.
