  • 5. Citizenship and the economic outcomes of immigrants in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500600003
    Description: Previous research indicates that immigrants who obtain citizenship in the receiving country gain various benefits, including enhanced legal status, expanded rights, increased political and civic engagement, and a stronger sense of collective identity and belonging. However, empirical studies remain inconclusive on whether acquiring citizenship improves immigrants' labour market outcomes. This paper asks two questions. First, is Canadian citizenship correlated with better economic outcomes among immigrants in Canada? Second, if so, does citizenship acquisition lead to an improvement in labour market outcomes?

  • 9. Foreign workers in Canada: Industry retention after transitioning to permanent residency among work permit holders for work purposes
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202401100002
    Description: Temporary foreign workers (TFWs) can play a long-lasting role in alleviating labour shortages because, on average, one-third of work permit holders transitioned to permanent residency (PR) within five years after receiving their initial work permit. However, not all TFWs remain in their initial industries after gaining PR. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the industry retention of TFWs after their PR transition by examining all TFWs who held paid employment in Canada as work permit holders for work purposes.
