title: Asian and Pacific migration:  the Canadian experience.
abstract: "This article examines the characteristics of landed immigrants (permanent settlers) from Asia [to Canada] and explores their settlement, adaptation, and integration experience.  Asian immigration has grown by leaps and bounds since the universalization of Canadian immigration policy.  The skills content, capital inflow, and entrepreneurial impacts of Asian immigration have been significant.  Generally speaking, Asian immigrants have adapted and integrated well.  Yet access to Canadian territory as permanent residents, or access to Canadian citizenship, does not necessarily mean access to equal opportunity in the economy and society, though to a certain extent, Canada may have succeeded more than Australia."
