Abstract
"The article examines the effects of immigration on the population dynamics of a traditional immigrant-recipient country, Canada. Data from the 2011 Canadian census suggest that Canadian popula- tion growth, as well as the stability of the economically active and reproductive-age population, largely depends on the steady arrival of new immigrants. Management of immigration flows to suit [domestic] development needs is therefore an essential component of Canadian policy regulating entry of new permanent residents. The Cuban immi- gration case study illustrates how Canadian migration regulations influence the sociodemographic features of a specific group of immi- grants and the impact that such movements may have on the devel- opment of traditional countries of emigration, such as Cuba, because of the loss of human potential."
