A new analysis by Statistics Canada based on immigrant tax data sheds light on how young arrivals do in the job market.
Immigrant children, according to a recent
Statistics Canada research, have a greater rate of postsecondary education and
earn more money in their mid-20s than the rest of the Canadian population.
The research is based on 2019 income tax data from
the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), which shows how immigrant
children assimilate into Canadian society over time.

The findings demonstrate that immigrants who
arrived to Canada as children attended postsecondary education more frequently
than the general Canadian population, with those admitted at younger ages
having the highest participation rates. From the age of 25, children accepted
as economic immigrants fared better than the Canadian average. Then, by the age
of 30, sponsored and refugee children had median salaries that were equivalent
to the general population. These results mirrored those of a Stats Can poll
performed for the 2018 tax year.
In preparation for future study on the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on immigrant children, their adjustment period, and their
long-term socioeconomic consequences in adulthood, data from 2019 will be used
to create baseline estimations.
Children who arrived in Canada before the age of 15
had unusually high rates of college enrolment. The participation percentage
among 20-year-old immigrants admitted as children was over 70%, compared to
roughly 59 percent for the rest of the Canadian population. At age 25, the
participation rate for immigrants admitted as children was around 33%, compared
to roughly 27% for the rest of the Canadian population.
Immigrant children's engagement in higher education
reduced as they grew older. In 2019, approximately 77 percent of 20-year-old
immigrants who entered the country before the age of five enrolled in
postsecondary education. For children entered between the ages of five and
nine, the participation percentage dropped to almost 72 percent, and for those
admitted between the ages of ten and fourteen, it was approximately 64 percent.
Academic preparedness, for example, has an impact on postsecondary involvement.
Participation in postsecondary education among
children of immigrants appears to be linked to their parents' socioeconomic
status. Because of Canada's economic immigration screening procedure, the
majority of these parents already had some university degree at the time of
their entry. As a result, children of economic immigrants participate in
postsecondary education at a substantially greater rate than children admitted
under other immigration categories, particularly during early adulthood.
At the age of 20, children of economic immigrants
had a postsecondary participation rate of more than 75 percent, compared to
roughly 61 percent for children of sponsored families and about 59 percent for
the entire Canadian population. With a rate of roughly 54 percent, refugee
children had the lowest involvement in higher education.
Children from economic class report better wages.
Immigrants who arrived as children in Canada had
lower median incomes ($10,900) than the rest of the population ($12,900). This,
according to the study, is because immigrants were most often engaged in
postsecondary courses at this age. Immigrants' median salaries increased to
$31,500 at age 25, above the national average of $30,290.
Economic immigrant children, on the other hand, had
around 11% higher median incomes ($33,700) at age 25 than the general Canadian
population ($30,290). The median earnings of 25-year-old immigrants who arrived
to Canada as sponsored children was less than the national average.
At the age of 30, immigrants admitted as children
of economic immigrants had a median pay of $55,500, which was almost 29% more
than the national average of $42,940. Children from refugee families earned
somewhat more than the Canadian average of $43,200, while children from
sponsored families earned around $41,000.
