The number,however, declined significantly to 800,000 by 1996, before increasing to nearly a million in the next year. The annual immigration to this country,then, fluctuated between one million and approximately 700,000 by the end of period.
Canada and Australia showed somewhat similar changes. In 1991, the figure for Canada was 200,000, a number did not change until 2000, before rising modestly to around 450,000 at the end of the period. Australia, on the other hand, remained at the lowest position, showing annual immigration of about 100,000 people throughout the period.
