First of all, the numbers are from 1990 to 2002, so they're not a decade old.
Second, you said family class were the majority, which is false -- they were 34%.
Third, you said there has been a shift recently. Hey, you were right! According to
Citizenship and Immigration Canada, in 2005, 156,210 of the total 262,236 immigrants to Canada were from the Economic Class, an increase from 49% to 60%.
