One-quarter of immigrants from racialized communities arrived between 2001 and<br />
2006<br />
There are notable differences <strong>in</strong> terms of the period of immigration for all immigrants and<br />
for those who are also members of racialized groups. While nearly half of all immigrants<br />
arrived <strong>in</strong> Canada before 1991, just more than one-third (36%) of immigrants from<br />
racialized groups arrived <strong>in</strong> that period.<br />
Additionally, one-quarter (26.6%) of immigrants from racialized groups arrived <strong>in</strong> Canada<br />
recently (between 2001 and 2006), a higher proportion than all immigrants <strong>in</strong> total (21.6%).<br />
