The following table shows how the addition of a series of variables modify the likelihood of working in the best corresponding or equivalent occupation among immigrant paid workers aged 25 to 64 who reported a postsecondary credential in a field of study that would normally lead to work in one of the targeted occupations identified by the FCR Program at HRSDC.
The first column presents the likelihood of having a good education-job skills match for immigrant paid workers compared to Canadian-born paid workers with a postsecondary education by period of landing and region of education. These additional variables, which could have an influence on the employment outcome of immigrants into the Canadian labour market, are: sex and age group, marital status and presence of children, level of education and major instructional program, province, territory and area of residence, language ability, visible minority status and the full/part-time and full/part-year status of employment.
