Study: Canadian postsecondary education and labour market outcomes of 2010 economic immigrants to Canada
Released: 2023-08-15
Today, Statistics Canada is releasing a research paper entitled "Canadian postsecondary education and labour market outcomes of 2010 economic immigrants to Canada," using the Longitudinal Immigration Database integrated with the Postsecondary Student Information System and the T1 Family File. This study explores the Canadian postsecondary educational attainment and employment income of immigrants of 2010 from the "economic immigrant" programs who were granted permanent residency based on their ability to contribute to the Canadian economy. The analysis compares the skilled immigrants who returned to postsecondary education after admission to Canada with those who did not return to postsecondary education and explores their potential difficulty to transfer their educational qualifications to the Canadian labour market.
