  • 4. Foreign workers in Canada: Industry retention after transitioning to permanent residency among work permit holders for work purposes
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202401100002

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.

This study fills that information gap by examining immigrants who landed in Canada in 2018 or 2019 and assessing their occupational outcomes two to three years later in May 2021.
