摘要：

Immigration to Canada, after a major policy change in 1978 which favored the family reunification class, has been dominated by Third World immigrants. These immigrants continue to be a significant source of highly trained individuals for Canada. Using an excess demand model to estimate the determinants of demand, this paper finds that the supply of domestic graduates, occupational income and the previous periods immigration level are major variables that influence Canada's demand for skilled immigrants. Thus, it is argued that the movement in these variables primarily guides Canadian immigration policy toward skilled immigrants.
