Abstract (English)

KEY POINTS: * After 4 years in Canada, immigrant men and women planning to work in regulated occupations were more likely to have found employment related to their training or field of study than other immigrants (although such employment may not necessarily be in a regulated profession). * Gender and whether immigrants plan to work in regulated occupations affect hourly wage. Immigrant men and immigrants planning to work in regulated occupations had higher hourly wages after 4 years in Canada than other groups. * Immigrant women were more likely to have lower participation rate, lower full-time status, take more time to find their first job, experience longer jobless spells, and have lower hourly wages than immigrant men, regardless of whether they were planning to work in regulated or unregulated occupations.
