[...] The second section examines the patterns of immigrant arrivals from the Philippines, paying particular attention to the timing of immigration, the programmes under which Filipinos have landed, and the geography of settlement. [...] The subsequent sections then trace the economic integration of Filipino immigrants in various ways, examining the human capital with which Filipino immigrants arrive in Canada, the processes of deskilling and occupational segmentation in the urban labour market, their incomes relative to other groups, and the overall economic burdens and benefits of Filipino immigration to the Canadian exchequer. [...] The first component of the database contains (at least in the version at the time of writing) the landing records of all immigrants to Canada who officially arrived between 1980 and 2001 (known as the Landed Immigrant Data System, or LIDS).
