本研究針對加拿大移民局微觀數據進行多項邏輯分析 (Multinomial Logit Analysis)，解析1983 至1999 年來自香港、中國大陸和台灣的加拿大技術移民其初始目的地的選擇問題。我們的結果強有力地支持了㆟力資本投資理論 (Human Capital Investment Theory) 和種族凝聚理論 (Ethnic Enclave Theory)。亦同時指出了跨國理論 (Transnationalism) 的日益重要性以及以魁北克省作為踏腳石而獲取加拿大移民身份的現象。由此我們可以進一步推論，未來這些技術移民會持續高度聚集於安大略和不列顛哥倫比亞省，而在其它省份當中，只有阿爾伯塔省有可能會有顯著增長。

The main purpose of this paper is to explain the initial destination choices of the skilled immigrants from Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan who landed in Canada in 1983-1999, based on an application of a multinomial logit model to the micro data of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Our findings strongly support the human capital investment theory and the ethnic enclave theory. We also found some indications of the increasing importance of transnationalism and the attempts at using Quebec as a stepping stone to settle down in other parts of Canada as landed immigrants. We infer that the heavy concentration of these immigrants in Ontario and British Columbia will persist, and that in the rest of Canada, only Alberta has some chance of increasing significantly its share of these immigrants.
