In this stage, there was greater overlap between the socio-demographic profiles and migration projects of MENA into the Canary Islands and those of the rest of the Spanish territory. This is no longer the case in the second stage which corresponds to the first decade of the twenty first century, when greater variability in profiles and routes, with significant arrival rates on the coasts of the Canary Islands, became evident.
En esta etapa existe una mayor coincidencia de perfiles sociodemográficos y de proyectos migratorios entre los MENA de Canarias y el resto del territorio español, no siendo así en la segunda etapa correspondiente a la primera década del siglo XXI cuando se empieza a observar una variabilidad de perfiles y rutas, con importantes llegadas a las costas canarias.
