    Articles and reports: 75-006-X202200100001

It also examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the employment of workers in this sector, compared to workers in all other occupations.

  • 6. The social and economic concerns of immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic

    Description:

    In 2016, at the time of the most recent census, immigrants represented 21.9% of the overall Canadian population. Because people born outside Canada have different life experiences than those who are born in Canada, their social and economic concerns may be different from those of Canadian-born individuals. This release examines the social and economic experiences of immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic, using a new web panel survey that was conducted two weeks after the pandemic began.
