Description

Immigrants in Alberta are in many respects healthier than non-immigrants. Compared to non-immigrants, they have lower mortality, lower rates for many diseases, and show signs of better health behaviors. There are, however, health conditions for which immigrants are worse off than non-immigrants. In addition, immigrant’s health status can vary significantly depending on the part of the world from which they arrive. The purpose of this report is to provide a snapshot of the health status, and a detailed look at health issues associated with immigrants to Alberta between 1994 and 2008. The results will drive further analysis and provide a basis for sound evidence to direct public health policies for improving the health of immigrants in Alberta.

Description

Between 2004 and 2006, Alberta’s economy expanded at an exceptionally rapid pace, attracting a record number of people to the province. The surge in oil sands investment and rapid growth in the Fort McMurray area helped create a perception that Fort McMurray was the main destination for migrants to Alberta. However, a detailed examination of migration trends reveals a more complex picture. This issue in the Demographic Spotlight series looks at migration flows over the past decade for three key Alberta census divisions: Wood Buffalo (Fort McMurray), Calgary and Edmonton. It finds that from 2000 to 2010, 80 per cent of migrants to Alberta settled in Calgary and Edmonton, while only four per cent of the total net migration settled in Wood Buffalo.
