Résumé (anglais)

Using data from the 2006 Census, findings from this report include: * Recent immigrants are more likely than the Canadian born or those who immigrated before 1991 to use mostly non-official languages at work. * Within each immigrant group, women are slightly more likely than men to use a non-official language at work. * In Toronto, the top non-official languages being used at work are Chinese languages, followed by Indo-Iranian, Portuguese, Russian/Polish and Spanish. * In terms of visible minority groups, 28.1% of Chinese, 25.8% of the Japanese and 23.8% of Korean recent immigrants use mostly a non-official language at work. * Among immigrants who arrived before 1991 and recent immigrants, the proportion of people who use a non-official language is highest for self-employed workers. * Among those in the same occupational skill category and class of worker, those who speak English or French have a higher mean income than those who use a non-official language at work when immigrant status and gender are held constant.
