The line graph illustrates the number of annual immigrant of USA, Canada and Australia between 1990 to 2001.
Overall, the USA consistently recorded the highest number of immigrants throughout the period, despite experiencing significant fluctuations. In contrast, Canada and Australia maintained much lower and more stable immigration levels, with Canada showing a notable upward trend toward the end of the decade.
The USA began the period with approximately 1.4 million immigrants in 1991. This figure peaked sharply in 1992 at 1.8 million before drop to to just over 1 million in 1993. Following this drop, numbers generally declined, reaching a low of around 700,000 in 1999. However, a slight recovery was seen by 2001, with figures rising back to nearly 900,000.
Canada’s immigration levels remained relatively steady at approximately 200,000 to 300,000 for most of the decade. A significant surge occured after 2000, with the number jumping to roughly 450,000 by 2001. Australia consistenlty saw the lowest intake, hovering between 100,000 and 150,000 immigrants annually. While both countries ended the period higher than they started, their combined totals never surpassed the intake of the USA in any given year.
