Summary: Where immigrants choose to plant new roots and where they migrate to as they adapt to their new surroundings can greatly affect their experience in Canada. Trends in settlement location and migration appear to be changing, and so the delivery of services must change with them. This paper attempts to answer two sets of questions: How important is geography and neighbourhood pattern in affecting family life and human service needs among newcomers? What are the implications of ethnic concentrations? What is the desirable mix of residential, commercial and industrial development to promote social interaction in a diverse community? What housing choices will immigrant families make as they grow and mature in their country? Will current trends towards high persons-per-unit (PPU) of housing in immigrant neighbourhoods continue, and for how long?
