Title:	The Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada

Abstract:	The Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC), conducted by Statistics Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada under the Policy Research Initiative, is a comprehensive survey designed to study the process by which new immigrants adapt to Canadian society. This survey provides timely, reliable, and continuous data on the process by which new immigrants adapt and integrate into Canadian society, including the various stages in the integration process, factors that help or hinder integration, and the impact of different settlement services. As they adapt to life in Canada, many immigrants face challenges---learning a new language, finding employment, or furthering their education---as well as taking on the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizenship. Many topics are examined, such as the development of social networks, work and education experiences, and access to health and other services. Survey results will be used to plan and develop programs to assist future immigrants. They also will be useful to nongovernmental organizations that provide services to immigrants.
