The line graph illustrates the number of immigrants (in thousands) arriving in the USA, Canada, and Australia between 1991 and 2001.
Overall, the USA consistently received the highest number of immigrants, despite experiencing significant fluctuations. Canada saw a moderate rise in immigration, with a sharp surge in the final year, whereas Australia exhibited the most stable and gradual upward trend.
In 1991, the USA welcomed 1,450 thousand immigrants, and this figure peaked at 1,800 thousand in 1992. However, immigration then dropped sharply to 1,000 thousand in 1993 and continued to decline, reaching its lowest point of 750 thousand in 1996. The following years witnessed fluctuations, with the number oscillating between 700 and 900 thousand until 2001.
By contrast, Canada experienced a steady increase from 200 thousand in 1991 to 300 thousand in 2000, before surging to 450 thousand in the final year. Meanwhile, Australia’s immigration levels remained remarkably stable, rising gradually from 100 thousand in 1991 to 170 thousand in 2001, making it the least volatile trend among the three countries.
