Pre-landing Canadian work experience, skill in English or French, education, and age were all aspects that influenced immigrants’ wages in Canada, according to Statistics Canada.
Newly, Statistics Canada released their report that named the Immigration selection factors and the earnings of principal applicants. The statement was a 2015 investigation update that helped guide the expansion of Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which is the main way that skilled overseas workers are evaluated by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Also, the study looked at what traits of applicants (during the landing) were the most predictive of the salaries in Canada by analyzing the 2005-2015 immigration unit, for the short, medium, and long term.
The main traits measured at landing were:
- Years of pre-landing Canadian work experience (compared to the people without experience);
- Ability in official languages (English or French (Native speakers VS. Less skill);
- Age—Younger (25-29 years) VS. Older (50-54 years); and
- Education (Bachelor’s Degree VS. Secondary school education)
Factors Influences Short-Term Salaries For Immigrants In Canada
According to the study, the key factors that impacted the temporary wages of immigrants included:
- Pre-landing work experience in Canada—even after a period remaining the most impactful aspect—weakened to a 45% increase for each Canadian work experience for one year;
- Age during landing shows that younger immigrants earned 44% more than elder ones, even 10-11 years after landing;
- Official language skill, which decreased earnings of those less skillful in official languages by 35%; and
- Education, which yielded a stronger outcome: a 23% increase in wages for those with a Bachelor’s grade.
To review…
The negative age effects at landing increased due to the years in Canada increasing for immigrants. Also, the education positive effects at landing amplified; and the official language ability positive effects and pre-landing Canadian work experience progressively reduced.
The Unseen Flexible: Pre-Landing Wages
There was also extra flexibility that Statistics Canada estimated at the landing for immigrants in the cohort: pre-landing incomes.
When considered in the study, more influence on brief, average, and long-term earnings than any other variable pre-landing earnings accounted for. It was by far the most analytical immigrant income success factor across the board.
The report also decides that this may be down to the fact that pre-landing salaries are linked with some aspects, including education, language skill, and pre-landing work experience. Moreover, the study further recommends that it may be the quality of pre-landing work experience that seems to be an immigrant’s earnings’ most predictive factor in the short, medium, and long term.
How Does This Study Impact Immigration?
This static study is an update of the report published in 2015, which assisted as the primary technical guide to the Comprehensive Ranking System, which is the ranking system that is used by the IRCC to evaluate economic applicants for immigration through Express Entry.
Therefore, aspirants looking to apply through Express Entry’s system of programs (including the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) should recognize this study’s result. Also, the allowance that gives to certain immigrant qualities (for instance the pre-landing Canadian work experience, and age) traits.
CRS aspects are similarly enclosed in this study (education, official language aptitude, and so on.); and information in the CRS allowance given to these aspects may follow along the lines this study has explained.
Skilled worker applicants qualified for Express Entry, may also apply to the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The PNP is one more economic immigration program where territories and provinces can nominate skilled workers for immigration to their regions. It permits them to arrive and settle in Canada as permanent residents without any problem. As well, getting a provincial nomination can further help with Express Entry success through the Enhanced Provincial Nomination—giving aspirants an extra 600 CRS points, and almost assuring an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
