Abstract	The purpose of this paper, which utilizes data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS-Cycle 1.1), is threefold. The first is to examine the health of Canadian immigrants in relation to non-immigrants, focusing on the relationship between key health determinants and health status. Second, it tests whether these data support the well-documented ‘healthy immigrant effect’. The third is to evaluate the usefulness of using a large national database to study ‘special populations’ such as immigrants. Through a comparison of findings from previous studies, the authors highlight the strengths and weaknesses of different datasets for investigating immigrant health and, by extension, the health of other unique populations in Canada.The present study found that recent arrivals to Canada tended to be substantially healthier than the Canadian-born population. However, this advantage was lost over time, as immigrants with longer residence histories (10 years of residence or longer) tended to have inferior health statuses relative to the Canadian-born. These results indicate that the ‘healthy immigrant effect’ continues to manifest itself in Canada. The findings also suggest that the large sample of immigrants in the CCHS facilitated statistically significant associations between health determinants and health status. This is in contrast to the results of previous studies on immigrant health-such as those using the National Population Health Survey (NPHS)—which reported a number of non-significant and counter-intuitive relationships. We suggest that the CCHS, a comparatively much larger dataset with a diverse sample of immigrants, is a useful survey instrument to evaluate the health and well-being of special populations.Cet article, qui exploite les données découlant de l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes ou ESCC (Canadian Community Health Survey ou CCHS-Cycle 1.1), a trois buts. Le premier est d’étudier la santé des immigrants canadiens par rapport à celle des non-immigrants, en se concentrant sur la relation entre les facteurs clés de santé et l’état de santé actuel. Deuxièmement, cet article évalue dans quelle mesure ces données confirment «l’effet de l’immigrant en bonne santé» bient attesté. Le troisième objectif est d’évaluer l’utilité de l’usage d’une large base de données nationale pour étudier des «populations particulières» telles que les immigrants. À travers une comparaison des conclusions fournies par les enquêtes précédentes les quteurs mettent en lumière les points forts et les faiblesses des différents fichiers de données qui traitent de la santé des immigrants, et par extension, de la santé d’autres populations particulières du Canada.La présente enquête a constaté que les immigrés récemment arrivés au Canada avaient tendance à être meilleure santé que les citoyens nés au Canada. Pourtant, cet avantage s’est perdu au fil du temps, comme les immigrants qui avaient vécu au Canada plus longtemp (10 ans de résidence ou plus) tendaient à avoir des états de santé moins bons que les citoyens nés au Canada. Ce résultat indique que «l’effet de l’immigrant en bonne santé» continue à se manifester au Canada. Au plan statistique, les conclusions de l’enquête laissent également supposer que le large éventail d’immigrants étudiés au cours du CCHS a facilité l’établissement de liens significatifs entre les facteurs clés de santé et l’état de santé actuel. Ceci se démarque des conclusions émises par les enquêtes précédentes sur l’état de santé des immigrants, comme celles qui sont basées sur l’Enquête Nationale sur l’Etat de Santé de la Population (National Population Health Survey, ou NPHS), qui ont signalé un nombre de relations peu pertinentes que l’on n’aurait pas soupçonnées. Nous avançons l’idée que le ESCC, qui est un fichier de données bien plus vaste avec un éventail varié d’immigrants, est un instrument d’enquête utile pour évaluer l’état de santé et le bien-être des populations particulières.
