Of Intake and Outcomes: Wage Trajectories of Immigrant Classes in Canada
Authors: Mata, Fernando and Pendakur, Ravi
Overview
Abstract (English)
This study utilizes tabular data from the Canadian “Immigration Database” (IMDB) to look at the association between entry class and the wage earnings of immigrant cohorts arriving between 1990 and 2007. As expected, immigrants entering as skilled, principal applicants have the strongest earnings trajectories. Immigrants who enter under family or humanitarian considerations see more moderate earnings growth with government-assisted having the shallowest earnings trajectories.
