This profile highlights immigrant health using provincial level findings from Statistics Canada’s Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). It compares self-perceived health, risk factors, use of services, and chronic conditions among immigrants and the Canadian-born population. The analysis is based on data from the combined 2005 and 2007/08 CCHS for the Ontario population age 12 and over (unless otherwise stated).
The total sample size for this combined data file is 81,286 respondents (16,443 of whom are immigrants). Local Health Integration Network (LHIN)level analysis, provided in an accompanying spreadsheet, allows LHINs to profile their individual immigrant populations.
