  • 2. Occupational match and economic outcomes of recent immigrants: A broad assessment
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600500004
    Description: This article provides a broad assessment of occupational match and associated earnings outcomes among immigrants admitted to Canada from 2010 to 2020. Using linked data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database and the 2021 Census, the study examines the extent to which recent immigrants work in occupations aligned with their intended occupation at admission, identifies the characteristics associated with occupational match, and analyzes the earnings implications of matching versus not matching into intended occupations.

  • 3. Why have immigrant entry earnings fluctuated widely in recent years? The role of immigration selection and labour-market conditions
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600400003
    Description: In recent years, the entry earnings of newly admitted immigrants to Canada have exhibited substantial year-to-year fluctuations. Notably, first-year earnings increased by 21% for the 2020 admission cohort relative to the previous cohort and by 11% for the 2021 cohort, followed by a 13% decline for the 2022 cohort—despite a continued modest rise in the median wage among all Canadian workers. This article examines the extent to which these fluctuations reflect changes in immigrant selection and broader labour market conditions. Using data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database, the analysis focuses on admission cohorts from 2015 to 2022 and measures earnings (annual wages or salaries) in immigrants’ first full calendar year after admission.

    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2018411
    Geography: Census metropolitan area
    Description:

    Immigrants tend to reside disproportionately in larger Canadian cities, which may challenge their absorptive capacity. This study uses the linked Longitudinal Immigration Database and T1 Family File to examine the initial location and onward migration decisions of immigrants who are economic principal applicants (EPAs) and who have landed since the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act was passed. The main objective of the study is to identify the factors associated with initially residing and remaining in Canada’s three largest gateway cities: Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver (referred to as MTV).

  • 43. Refugees and Canadian Post-Secondary Education: Characteristics and Economic Outcomes in Comparison Archived
    Articles and reports: 89-657-X2018001
    Description:

    This study draws on data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database to examine participation in Canadian post-secondary education (PSE) among adult immigrants in the 2002-2005 landing cohort, with an explicit focus on resettled refugees. The study describes the demographic characteristics of participants, the qualities of participation, and the economic returns on investment in Canadian PSE. It also employs multivariate regression analysis to further examine the effects of participation in Canadian training on employment incidence and the income of those employed, while controlling for other factors associated with successful economic integration.

  • 44. Tuberculosis-related hospital use among recent immigrants to Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201800700002
    Description:

    This study provides new evidence on TB-related hospitalizations among new immigrants to Canada. It uses a unique linked data file (2000-to-2013 Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) linked to the Canadian Institute for Health Information's Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) from 2001/2002 to 2013/2014) that brings together information from immigrant landing records and hospital data for a maximum of 13 years to identify a TB-related hospital event after landing. Specifically, this paper provides a profile of the timing of TB-related acute care hospitalization, starting from the time of landing among immigrants who officially landed in Canada from 2000 to 2013, as well as an estimation of the burden of TB hospital care in Canada incurred by these recent immigrants relative to the total Canadian population.
