1. Estimating immigrant citizenship rates in Canada and the United States: Data sources and comparability issues
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500600001
Description: The United States would be a useful comparison country for Canada in studying immigrant naturalization, as both are major immigrant-receiving nations with close geographic and economic ties. However, differences in available data complicate comparisons of immigrant citizenship rates. This article examines key data sources for studying immigrant citizenship in both countries and highlights the challenges in comparing citizenship rates and trends.
Release date: 2025-06-25
2. 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?

3. Housing use of immigrants and non-permanent residents in ownership and rental markets
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500500003
Description: Understanding the housing use of immigrants and non-permanent residents (NPRs) is important for developing effective housing policies and urban planning strategies. Using 2021 Census data, this study estimates housing unit occupancy rates—defined as the number of dwellings per 1,000 people—for immigrants and NPRs.

4. Citizenship Acquisition and Active Presence of Immigrants in Canada
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2025006

This article explores the potential relationship between acquiring Canadian citizenship and maintaining an active presence in Canada, as measured by the filing of income taxes.
Release date: 2025-05-16
5. Recent trends in United States temporary foreign workers in Canada
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500400006

6. Recent trends in migration flows from the United States to Canada
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500300004
Description: Canada has long been a destination for American expatriates due to its geographic proximity, familiar culture and similar socioeconomic environment. However, migration flows have historically fluctuated in response to economic, political, and social factors. This article examines recent trends in migration flows from the U.S. to Canada.

7. A comparison of immigrant and Canadian-born data scientists: Sociodemographic characteristics and earnings
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500200003
Description: This study uses the 2021 Census of Population to answer the following questions: To what extent do immigrants contribute to the labour supply of data scientists in Canada? How do immigrant and Canadian-born data scientists differ in sociodemographic characteristics? And given the high demand for data scientists, are the earnings gaps between immigrants and Canadian-born individuals smaller relative to those among all workers?

8. Municipal variations in the housing arrangements of international students
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202401200003
Description: Understanding how international students use the housing market across different municipalities can inform policy and planning decisions regarding housing supply, urban infrastructure and services to better accommodate the needs of a diverse student population. This study uses the 2021 Census of Population to examine international students' participation in the rented and owned housing sectors, as well as the proportion of students living in shared accommodation within these markets.
Release date: 2024-12-19
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.

2. Transitions into and out of employment by immigrants during the COVID-19 lockdown and recovery Archived
Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100070
Description:
During the widespread lockdown of economic activities in March and April 2020, the Canadian labour market lost 3 million jobs. From May to July, as many businesses gradually resumed their operations, 1.7 million jobs were recovered. While studies in the United States and Europe suggest that immigrants are often more severely affected by economic downturns than the native born, little is known about whether immigrants and the Canadian born fared differently in the employment disruption induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and, if so, how such differences are related to their socio-demographic and job characteristics. This paper fills this gap by comparing immigrants and the Canadian-born population in their transitions out of employment in the months of heavy contraction and into employment during the months of partial recovery.

3. Economic impact of COVID-19 among Indigenous people Archived
Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100052

4. Economic impact of COVID-19 among visible minority groups Archived
Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100042
Description:
The economic lockdown triggered by COVID-19 has led so far to disproportionate employment losses among lower-paid workers and young workers. Its impact on visible minorities is currently less known. Using data from a large crowdsourcing data collection initiative, the study further compares the degree to which visible minority participants: a) experienced job loss or reduced workhours since the onset of the pandemic, b) were strongly or moderately impacted financially, and c) applied for and received federal income support.

Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202401000002
Description: As the number of temporary foreign workers increases and more of these workers transition to permanent residency in Canada, provinces and territories—especially those with smaller populations—have been actively targeting foreign workers through immigration programs such as the Provincial Nominee Program as a strategy to attract and retain new immigrants. This article examines the geographic retention of permanent residents who previously worked in Canada on work permits for work purposes and became landed immigrants from 2011 to 2020.
