新研究表明移民在西部如卡加利，累积哪，萨斯卡同比在多伦多更容易赚到钱，这个显著趋势可以解释为啥在多伦多的移民稳定减少。
然而，多伦多仍然是压倒多数地移民中心，从2001年拥有1半的移民的，到2007年的1/3，定居在卡加利，爱民吨，累积哪，萨斯卡同的移民在过去5年中持续增加。
这代表廖移民方式的显著变化，Jack，加拿大研究协会执行长说，他本周刚刚发布移民家庭收入的研究报告。
我们原认为阿尔伯塔和萨斯卡万是省际间移民，现在发现西部也在吸引国际移民。
移民经常在家族成员生活的地方安家。但也被经济济会吸引。西部的油气经济导致巨大劳工需求和雇主增加工资以招工。
报告显示，2005年，卡加利移民家庭年收入为102k，比猛吹奥高33k，比温哥华高22k，比多伦多高12k，
累积哪93k，萨斯卡同91k，2001-2005年间，萨斯卡万顺利从穷3省向富三省阿尔伯塔，安省飞跃
在多伦多，非移民家庭收入为140k，移民为其55%，相反卡加利为67%，爱民吨为81%
在累积哪，萨斯卡同，本地人比移民少挣1%，收入差距反映出社会的移动性， JACK说，人民总在问，我怎么做，怎么比。
在他的调查报告上，所有国外出生的都被认为是移民，但更新来的也显示同样的趋势，他们的工资要低于整体移民水平，但在西部/小城市的会生活得比大城市的更好些。
例如，2001-2005年间，卡加利移民收入为69k，只有萨德玻璃高些，而多伦多的为57k，温哥华的53k，猛吹奥德45k
国家总想把移民均匀地渗透到整个国家，避免过于拥向3大城市，2007年其他城市接受了总数236000人的1/3。
这个趋势是健康的，Myer说，Ryerson大学移民安居研究教授说，尽管他强调3大城市仍然接受大部分的移民，其中蒙城接受得更多。
良好教育的移民在小城市获得更好的发展，因为高薪工作竞争不是太激烈，萨斯卡万在引智方面有些问题，同时，多、蒙经济不如阿、萨省好，
Ratna，致力于减贫困的Maytree慈善基金会执行长，说，多伦多仍然能吸引大量移民如其卫星城，移民只是从大城市向其卫星城转移

Immigrants pass Toronto to follow money West, study finds

A new study shows immigrants earn more money in Calgary, Regina and Saskatoon than they do in Toronto, a significant trend that could help explain why the city's share of immigrants is steadily declining.

While Toronto remains overwhelmingly the dominant hub for newcomers, its proportion of Canada's total annual immigrant intake dropped to nearly one-third in 2007 from half in 2001. In contrast, the numbers settling in western cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Regina and Saskatoon have increased every year in the past five years.

"This represents a significant shift in immigration patterns," said Jack Jedwab, executive director of the Association for Canadian Studies, which released the study on immigrant family income this week.

"We think of Alberta and Saskatchewan as a place for internal migration, but now the West is drawing immigrants as well."

Immigrants often settle where family members live, but are also drawn by economic opportunities. The oil and natural-gas booms in Alberta and Saskatchewan have led to huge labour demands and a rise in wages as business owners struggle to fill jobs.

In 2005, the average annual income for an immigrant family in Calgary was $102,118, which is $33,000 more than in Montreal, $22,000 more than in Vancouver and $12,000 more than in Toronto, according to the census data analyzed in Mr. Jedwab's paper.

The average income was $92,932 in Regina and $91,356 in Saskatoon. Between 2001 and 2005, Saskatchewan moved from the bottom three provinces to the top three in terms of average income for immigrant families, behind Alberta and Ontario.

The wage differential between non-immigrant families in Toronto - who earned on average $139,926 a year - and those born elsewhere was 55 per cent. In contrast, the gap narrows to 33 per cent in Calgary, where non-immigrant families earn on average $136,380, and 19 per cent in Edmonton.

In Regina and Saskatoon, non-immigrant families actually earn 1 per cent less on average than their immigrant counterparts. The income gap reflects social mobility. "People are asking the question, 'How am I doing as an individual, and how am I doing compared to others?' " Mr. Jedwab said.

For his study on family incomes, all foreign-born Canadians were considered immigrants. But more recent cohorts of arrivals show a similar trend. Their wages are substantially lower than for the overall immigrant population; however, they still fare much better economically in the West, as well as in some smaller Ontario cities such as Oshawa and Ottawa, than in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.

For example, the average annual income for an immigrant family who settled in Calgary between 2001 and 2005 was $69,148. The only city where they earned more money was Sudbury, while in Toronto, the average annual family income was $57,239; in Vancouver $53,028; and in Montreal $45,435.

Ottawa's goal has always been to disperse immigrants more evenly across the country and avoid concentrating too many new arrivals in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. In 2007, cities outside the "MTV" received nearly one in three of Canada's total 236,000 newcomers.

This trend is healthy, said Myer Siemiatycki, a Ryerson University professor of immigration and settlement studies, although he noted that Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver still receive the lion's share of immigrants and Montreal has actually increased its share.

Well-educated newcomers may be faring better in smaller cities such as Regina because there is less competition for high-paying jobs. "Saskatchewan traditionally had problems attracting high-end talent," Prof. Siemiatycki noted.

As well, the economy is not as robust and dynamic in Toronto and Montreal as it has been in Alberta and, more recently, in Saskatchewan.

Ratna Omidvar, executive director of the Maytree Foundation, a charity that aims to reduce poverty and inequality in Canada, said Toronto is still a huge draw, as are surrounding cities such as Brampton and Mississauga.

"For sure, there are fewer immigrants coming to Toronto, but they are going to the outlying suburbs comprising the city region," she said.
