Hi yesite, welcome to the forums! Immigration to Canada = All the people who immigrate to Canada, Canada's immigration. So your sentence might be like saying: "Studying Canada's immigration statistics, has taught me a lot"

Yes. When you say "immigration," you are referring to the general concept. When you say "immigrating," you are referring to what you yourself did.
