- 1. Geographic mobility of Canadian graduates with a bachelor's degree: Interactive visualization toolData Visualization: 71-607-X2025007Description: The geographic mobility of postsecondary graduates—where they were before their studies, where they studied, and where they went to work after graduation—is of great interest to provinces and territories because education is under their jurisdiction and graduates are synonymous with skilled workers. This data visualization takes advantage of new tables published by Statistics Canada on the geographic mobility of Canadian undergraduate degree (or bachelor's) graduates from 2012 to 2021. It displays data on where students came from, where they studied and where they worked 1 year after graduation.Release date: 2025-07-16

Understanding the potential outcomes associated with specific postsecondary academic programs may help inform young people, but most of the available information focuses on earnings. While important, earnings say little about what postsecondary graduates are likely to do in their career, which may factor heavily in their decision-making process.

- 10. Canadian postsecondary education and labour market outcomes of 2010 economic immigrants to CanadaArticles and reports: 81-595-M2023003Description: Using the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) integrated with the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) and the T1 Family File (T1FF), this study explores the Canadian postsecondary educational attainment and employment income of immigrants 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 to those who did not return to postsecondary education and explores their potential difficulty to transfer their educational qualifications onto the Canadian labour market.Release date: 2023-08-15
