Recent immigrants to Canada from less developed countries are struggling in the job market compared to immigrants from industrialized nations. Factors like education, visible minority status, language skills, occupation, and country of origin play a significant role in their performance. By analyzing data from the 2006 Census, it was found that immigrants' earnings vary greatly based on where they come from and the portability of their education credentials. The study suggests that using information on successful immigrants to improve selection criteria could help, but there are still issues with underperforming immigrants who aren't selected. This highlights the need for changes in immigration policy to address these challenges.
