According to a World Education Services recent survey, more than 80 percent of skilled worker immigrants can easily find a job in Canada, and the huge majority are in permanent positions.
Also, the study says approximately two-thirds of skilled immigrants find a job within three months, increasing to almost 74 percent in six months.
The report, drawn from a study of more than 6,400 skilled worker migrants accomplished in 2018, is Canada’s transition validation from an immigration system based on particular labor market shortages to one intense on carrying in highly-skilled, knowledgeable immigrants. Also, at the front of that transition has been the Express Entry system that was launched in 2015 to rank applications from applicants with the skills and experience to thrive in Canada.
Important Results Of The WES Report
- * 80.3% of respondents were hired in Canada
- * 78.7% had permanent jobs in Canada
- * 61.2% found work within 3 months
- * 73.8% were hired within six months
Apart from that, the WES report demonstrates that young immigrants with previous experience in Canada were more expected to find work than older applicants with no experience. Following on from this, the maximum employment rate was seen in Canada Experience Class candidates.
As well, the report says, those who immigrated under CEC were 2.4 times more probable to be hired when compared to those who entered through other economic immigration programs.
The maximum number of immigrant’s proportion had previous experience in food manufacturing through the CEC. Meanwhile, some 70 percent of Federal Skilled Workers were before hired in the health sector. Moreover, the results in the WES report were drawn from a 2018 study of 6,402 permanent residents who applied for an Education Credential Assessment (ECA) between 2013 and 2015. As well, an ECA is a document that evaluates overseas qualifications for their equal level in Canada.
The results were similar to a 2017 Statistics Canada statement concentrating on employment between citizens and university-educated Canadian permanent residents. It also mentioned an employment rate of 82.1% for immigrants and 91.4 % for Canadian-born people. Accordingly, this sets the employment break between migrants and their Canadian-born peers at the lowest since 2006.
Though the increasing immigrant employment rate is a significant positive, the statement also exposed that many immigrants are not able to find work at their skill level, education, and experience.
According to the report, less than 40% of immigrants have occupations similar in category and difficulty to pre-immigration positions.
Respondents mentioned a lack of professional connections, companies not accepting experience and qualifications, and a lack of international education recognition as the top three reasons for the problem. Such areas are significant IRCC considerations, as well as the provincial immigration system. While more money is being driven into immigrant integration at both federal and provincial levels, it is clear that inadequacies persist.
The Statement Finds Four Core Action Areas:
1) Employer Confidence In Global Experience
The report suggests ‘competency-informed assessments’ to build a qualification picture of immigrant job seekers to challenge this problem.
2) Employment Data
The study states: “There is a current necessity to find how to deliver truthful, exact, targeted, correct, and timely employment data to prospective and current immigrants.”
3) Access To Planned Professions And Employment
The report mentions moves towards profession-specific linking programs that are offered by provinces. Furthermore, it recommends more work to determine the exact help immigrants need to enter structured occupations.
4) Services and Interventions
The report study states: “All those working toward the integration of skilled immigrants need to recognize together which exact employment services and service delivery representations lead to the skilled immigrant job seeker’s best results.”
