Conference on Selected Profiles of Canadians Abroad

Abstract:

The conference looked at some statistical data on Canadians living abroad and heard descriptions of several centres of overseas Canadian concentration. It was observed that the size of the overseas Canadian population varies considerably from country to country, and the lack of a standardized approach to tracking the whereabouts of the population beyond voluntary registration makes it very difficult to extract precise numbers. Using differing methodologies including quantitative analysis and descriptive case study narratives, researchers brought to light key issues in estimating the size of Canadian immigrant outflows by immigrant source countries. Country profiles of Canadian citizens abroad documented the political, economic and social-cultural issues that inhibited continued connections with Canada.
