Abstract (English)

Using data from the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC), findings from this report include: *Immigrants with continuous full-time employment in the first four years of settlement in Canada had higher average hourly wages than immigrants who were employed part-time at any time in the first four years. * Average hourly wages increased over time for those employed full-time continuously and for those employed part-time continuously in the first four years in Canada. * Immigrants who were employed full-time were more likely to have jobs that matched their fields of study and training, and higher levels of job satisfaction compared to those who were employed part-time in the first four years in Canada. * Compared to immigrants working full-time, part-time workers were more likely to enroll in post-migration education during the first four years of settlement in Canada.
