However, as noted above, first and second generations would not be considered immigrants, so either way the numbers seem confusing. And, yes, some NL'ers do speak of being first or second generation Canadian (I would be first gen).
They were listed in separate lines, so I assume they're separate groups. 29.1% seems high, yes, but if there was a neighbourhood where it could be possible in St. John's, mine is definitely among the top 2-3.
