title: Canadian immigration policy in the early 1990s: a commentary on Veugelers and Klassen's analysis of the breakdown in the unemployment-immigration linkage.
abstract: The author comments on an article by J. W. P. Veugelers and T. R.  Klassen. "Veugelers and Klassen's (1994) paper makes an important contribution by confirming in detail three findings on Canadian immigration policy that have been noted only more casually and less clearly in previous studies. In this commentary on their paper, I seek to clarify the significance of their findings and to set forth some important issues and hypotheses which are not covered in their interpretation."
