Changing Immigrant Characteristics and Entry Earnings - ARCHIVED
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2016374Description: During the 1990s and 2000s, changes in immigration selection policies significantly altered the characteristics of new immigrants to Canada across a number of dimensions, including educational attainment at landing, immigration class, source region, pre-landing Canadian work experience and geographic distribution. These changes were designed primarily to improve immigrant economic outcomes at landing. This paper examines whether immigrant entry earnings improved as a result of these changes in immigration selection and, if so, which characteristics contributed most to the improvement.no: 374Issue Number: 2016374Frequency: OccasionalAuthor(s): Hou, Feng; Picot, GarnettMain Product:Analytical Studies Branch Research Paper Series
