Recent immigrants however earn consistently lower hourly wages. * Canadian-born and immigrant women consistently earn lower hourly wages compared to men, even when men earn relatively low wages. * Immigrants who arrived between 1991 and 2000 have lower hourly wages than immigrants who arrived before 1991 or after 2000.
