This report draws lessons from the Canadian immigration experience that can contribute to improving the labour market outcomes of immigrants and alleviate barriers related to labour market information issues. Foreign-born workers often lack the necessary information to learn about opportunities in the Canadian labour market, which can prevent highly-skilled workers from finding employment in their field, to the detriment of the Canadian economy. We examine the services provided to immigrants in Canada by federal and provincial governments, and the large role played by the non-profit sector in facilitating the delivery of information and services to immigrants in order to lessen the informational barriers to immigrant employment. We further identify best practices from Canada, which include establishing national standards for the recognition of foreign qualification; simplifying the delivery of services by using one-stop shops or single-points-of-contact; involving local stakeholders in the development of policy and delivery of service; and maintaining a flexible immigration policy. Identifying and addressing the specific needs of newcomers to Canada has had a strong positive impact on their labour market outcomes.

By examining newcomers' progress over time, the LSIC affords the possibility of assisting researchers and policy-makers to go beyond existing descriptions of immigrant integration outcomes to an examination of how newcomers achieve these outcomes -- in essence, the "how" and "why" dimensions. While the full value of the survey will be reached when the three waves of data collection are completed, this first wave of data provides important benchmark information. The focus of this publication is on the early settlement experiences of immigrants, from pre-migration to the first six months after arrival. First an overview of the LSIC population is provided, looking at both pre-migration characteristics as well as those at arrival. This is followed by a comprehensive look at the first six months of the settlement process, looking at things such as health, housing and mobility; education and training taken since arrival; employment, income and the general perception of the immigrant's settlement experience. Finally, a more in-depth look at problems and difficulties newcomers experience in four key areas of integration is presented: accessing health services, finding housing, accessing education and training, and finding employment. Challenges to integration are examined in terms of what help was needed, received and from whom, or needed and not received.

Abstract: In my dissertation I focus on the experiences of recent immigrants in Canada and Australia. The first two chapters study the role of social networks in the labor market assimilation of new immigrants. The third chapter examines whether the impressions of recent immigrants in Australia, in particular those of Muslims, changed in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. In the first chapter I develop a theoretical model to show that among workers whose network is weaker than non-network sources of job offers, those in network jobs should have higher wages than those in non-network jobs. Moreover, this wage differential is decreasing in network strength. I test the latter implication using the Canadian census and the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada. The empirical strategy focuses on the interaction between network strength and job-finding method to overcome the problem of omitted variables bias. I find that at the lower end of an individual's potential wage distribution the network premium is decreasing in network strength suggesting that at this end of the distribution the presence of a strong social tie increases the arrival rate of network job offers. The second chapter replicates the exercise of the previous chapter using the Australian Census and the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia. The results are comparable to those for Canada, although due to small sample sizes the data could not be analyzed in as much detail. In the third chapter I use the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia to examine whether recent Muslim immigrants undergo a change in their impressions about religious and racial tolerance and discrimination in the aftermath of 9/11. I adopt a difference in differences approach, where identification comes from the timing of survey interviews. There is no consistent evidence of a change in the perception of Muslims after 9/11 across all the various impressions reported in the survey.

This project used the 1996 Canadian census data to investigate the economic performance of immigrants from developed countries in Canada's labour market. Economic performance is measured by the income received from salaries, wages and self-employment income. Several hypotheses are tested, the purpose of which is to investigate the possibility that immigrants who come from traditional sending origins exhibit overachiever characteristics. The analysis was based on the human capital model augmented with several socio-demographic variables, and the estimation was carried using the Feasible GLS method. The results show that, contrary to the traditional hypothesis, immigrants from United States, the United Kingdom, German and Italy are subject to a positive premium upon entry. Moreover, their earnings rise at a slower rate, confirming the applicability of the human capital model in explaining their earnings equation. The impact on labour market experience and schooling prior to immigration is found to have a lesser effect on earnings than if these attributes are acquired in Canada. The study conforms to the findings of Akbari (1988), which show that immigrants from Western Europe are subject to a positive premium upon entry.
