“…A significant part of immigration has come to Spain for work‐related reasons, although family‐related reasons have increased in recent years (Systeme d'Observation Permanente sur les Migrations, ; Reher and Requena, ; Vono‐de‐Vilhena and Bayona‐Carrasco, ). Demographic and socio‐economic characteristics of immigrants vary by country of origin (e.g.…”

Research on the mobility and residential patterns of immigrants within receiving countries is abundant. The selective nature of movers and the location of immigrants are issues that have received special attention. Most studies are premised on the supposition that immigrants move only once. However, for a number of immigrants, internal migration is a dynamic process in which more than one movement is involved. This article extends the literature by disaggregating immigrants according to their number of internal migrations. We use data from a new and rich retrospective survey to examine the determinants of migration trajectories and the effects of the location choices of immigrants. We elaborate a set of indicators to assess the importance of the spatial assimilation theory and other main theoretical frameworks. This article concentrates on Spain, a recent main migratory destination in Europe and worldwide. Results reveal the existence of significant differences between one‐time and multiple movers. The selective nature of multiple movers is explained in part by the spatial assimilation paradigm. Further results show that both one‐time and multiple movers tend to reside outside ethnic concentrations as a result of their mobility experience within Spain.

“…Meanwhile, country of birth, marital status, and transnational ties of immigrants are significant predictors of housing careers in Spain (Vono-de-Vilhena & Bayona-Carrasco, 2012), whereas housing stock, cultural preferences, and opportunities for co-residence are significant in the case of the Netherlands (Bolt, 2002;Kesteloot & Cortie, 1998). Ethnic discrimination, especially in the case of Africans and eastern Europeans, is seen in Sweden (Brama & Andersson, 2010), which compliments findings by Murdie et al (1999) in Canada.…”

Within the Canadian housing market, some immigrants move quickly to quality, affordable housing, whereas others struggle through both systematic and institutional barriers. This article uses Statistics Canada's Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC) -capturing the settlement and integration experiences of immigrants from 2001 to 2005-and investigates housing conditions (housing satisfaction, rates of homeownership, crowding, and affordability) over three survey waves across the Canadian urban hierarchy. Descriptive statistics are used to explore the relationship between immigrant admission class, housing conditions, and settlement locations, namely, those arriving in primary settlement locations (Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver) relative to that observed in secondary (census metropolitan areas) and tertiary (census agglomerations) locations. Using overall housing satisfaction as a proxy for the suitability/adequacy of housing to the needs of the immigrants, a logistic regression model is used seeking to understand the factors shaping a satisfied housing experience; the most significant factors include owning one's home, having an excellent or very good level of self-rated health, and not living in crowded conditions. The results of this research are framed as advancing understanding in the Canadian immigrant housing discourse through providing a longitudinal perspective on immigrant housing trajectories, and how these vary across socio-demographic and economic factors.

“…Many undocumented immigrants regularized their situation through several generous amnesties (in 1991, 1996, 2000, 2001, and 2005), which granted them with legal residence. Following the amnesties, the number of family‐reunification requests also rose, increasing subsequently the demand for dwellings (Vono‐de‐Vilhena & Bayona‐Carrasco, ). As immigration in Spain is labor‐based (Fernández & Ortega, 2011), immigrants were quick to find jobs in the thriving economy.…”

Similarly, the higher the mortgage depth in the country of ancestry, the higher the present value of the monthly mortgage payments. Our results suggest that social norms regarding mortgage finance in the country of ancestry matter in determining immigrants' mortgage finance in the host country. More specifically, the effect of social norms on the decision to have a mortgage (the extensive margin) and the amount of the mortgage payments (the intensive margin) is about one third and tenth the size of the effect of having a college degree on mortgage debt, respectively. Evidence of strong persistence of culture among those with longer tenure in the host country, those who immigrated as children or young adults, and second-generation immigrants suggests that vertical transmission of beliefs (from parents to children) is a plausible channel of transmission. Perhaps most importantly, we find that cultural attitudes regarding property rights are most relevant when explaining individuals' decision to get a mortgage, but those regarding credit information matter most when explaining the amount of the mortgage debt.
