Mortality among different groups of migrants to Canada is compared with that of native-born Canadians and with trends in the migrants' countries of origin, using data for the period 1981-1985. Results show that life expectancy at birth among migrants in Canada is generally higher than that of the populations at place of origin and destination. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)
