The line graph illustrates the changes in the number of immigrants to three countries – the USA, Canada, and Australia – between 1990 and 2001.
Overall, despite experiencing a fluctuating decline, the USA maintained its dominance in the number of immigrants over the period. Notably, Canada also saw an upward trend and the figure for Australia remained relatively unchanged.
Starting at about 1400 thousand in 1991, the number of people immigrating in the USA increased sharply in the following year, reaching a high of 1800 thousand, the highest figure recorded in the chart. However, this figure decreased dramatically to 800 thousand in 1996. Despite fluctuating between approximately 950 thousand and 650 thousand until 2000, this figure increased to nearly 900 thousand in the final year.
Turning to other countries, in 1991, the number of people migrating to Canada stood at 200 thousand, while the figure for Australia was at around 100 thousand. By the end of the period, a different pattern had observed in these countries, with the former seeing a noticeable growth at around 500 thousand in 2001 while the latter saw a slight decrease in 1994 and remained relatively stable throughout the whole period.
