      abstract = {To promote trade in goods and services, chapter 16 of the  North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) facilitates the  cross-border movement of businesspersons. This has allowed  managers, technical experts and others to relocate in order  to expedite production and support the increased trade that  has followed trade liberalization. Since an overwhelming  bulk of international trade is carried out by multinational  companies, foreign direct investment theory suggests that  there will be increased free trade between Canada and the  United States to the extent that it encourages increased  intra-industry trade and investment and is expected to  increase economic incentives for labour mobility. This  paper discusses the relationships among various factors of  trade liberalization and their impacts on labour mobility  between the Canada and the United States. It considers if  and how the NAFTA may have affected bilateral flows of  permanent and nonpermanent immigrants between the two  countries. It also examines these effects in relation to  future trade agreements such as the Free Trade Area of the  Americas (FTAA).},
