Abstract. Using the 1996 Public Use Microfiche files of the Canadian Census and life story data from 30 cases collected from a 1998 CERIS-funded research project, this article disaggregates the migration and settlement story for Indo-and African-Caribbean migrants living in Canada. Findings from this research suggest that a significant difference exists in the immigration pattern, living arrangements, family structures, and material values for Indo- and African-Caribbeans resident in Canada. Much of the previous research has neglected this significant heterogeneity within the Caribbean immigrant community in Canada. As a result, Caribbean migration to Canada since the late 1960s tends to only be known from an African-Caribbean perspective.;
