Knowledge of Official Languages Among New Immigrants: How Important Is It in the Labour Market?: Labour market - Notes
| 1 | Since the link between knowledge of OLs and type of job held is examined further on, and since information regarding OLs is known only at the time of each interview, only the jobs held at those times will be examined. |
| 2 | Where an immigrant held more than one job at the time of the interview, the main job was defined as being the one at which he/she was working the most hours per week. If more than one job had the same number of hours worked, the one held the longest was chosen. If more than one job had been held for the same length of time, the one reported first was considered the main job. |
| 3 | To avoid changes of age group over time, throughout this report the age group used is that of the respondent at the time of the first wave interview. |
| 4 | According to Statistics Canada’ Labour Force Survey. |
| 5 | Jobs held by immigrants between interviews are not taken into account here. |
