The line graph illustrates the number of immigrants to three different countries, namely the USA, Canada, and Australia, over a 10-year period from 1991 to 2001.
Overall, there was a steady upward trend in the number of immigrants to the USA, which ultimately received the largest influx of migrants by the end of the period. Meanwhile, while Australia underwent a sharp decline, Canada experienced considerable fluctuations before ending higher than its starting figure.
The figure for the USA started at around 1,100 immigrants, after which it climbed steadily to reach a peak of 2,500 in 2000. Furthermore, from 1996 onwards, the USA became the country with the largest number of immigrants.
In 1991, Canada recorded the lowest intake at only 500 people. This figure saw a significant increase over the next four years, peaking at approximately 2,300 in 1995, before falling sharply to around 1,100 in 1996 and remaining unchanged until 1999. By 2001, Canadian immigration had recovered to roughly 1,600. Meanwhile, Australia saw a sharp downward trend; its immigrant numbers fell drastically from nearly 2,800 in 1991 to 500 in 1995, and then remained flat at this level for the remainder of the period.
