Fertility rates drop for immigrant women 

Immigrant women tend to have fewer children the longer they've lived in Canada, Statistics Canada reported  The agency's researchers speculate that fertility rates decrease because the women quickly integrate into mainstream Canadian life, even mimicking the rate at which women living in Canada become pregnant.
Young foreign-born women who had received part of their education in Canada were most likely to resemble Canadian-born women when it came to fertility rates.
