Summary Report: Immigrant Retention in New Brunswick: 2021 Arrival Cohorts

Abstract

This report is the second in a series of annual updates on immigrant retention in New Brunswick (NB) that will be published by the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) each year. These reports provide an overview of NB immigration retention patterns since the previous reporting period, and their updates on immigration trends can guide public policy concerned with strategies to attract immigrants and retain established immigrant populations. The current study, which includes data on immigrant cohorts that landed from January to December 2021, provides an update to the immigrant retention results released by NB-IRDT in 2022 (McDonald et al., 2022), which included data until 2020.
