Overview

Abstract (English)

Key Points: * Visible minority immigrants are more than twice as likely as white immigrants to perceive discrimination when we control for gender, education and fluency in Canada’s official languages. * For visible minority immigrants, fluency in English or French increases reports of discrimination in the workplace. * For white immigrants, fluency in English or French decreases perceived discrimination in the workplace. * Visible minorities who speak English or French fluently are more likely than white immigrants with comparable language skills to report workplace discrimination. * Immigrant men are more likely than immigrant women to report discrimination overall and in the workplace. * Immigrants who report discrimination have less family income and lower job satisfaction than those who do not report discrimination. * Immigrants with post-secondary education report more workplace discrimination than those with less education.
