Human capital valuation of vulnerable visible minority immigrants in Atlantic Canada during a Covid-19 year
Purpose This study analyzes returns to education and post-schooling labour market experiences of visible minority immigrants in Atlantic Canada, in comparison to the national labour market in Canada, at the outbreak of COVID_19 pandemic in 2020. It also compares the earnings of visible minority immigrants with non-visible minority immigrants. A review of government policy initiatives to attract and retain immigrants in Atlantic Canada is also und…
Ethnoracial disparities in intergenerational coresidence among Canadian millennial
Using the Canadian Census of 2016 and restricting the sample to the Canadian‐born millennials, this paper is concerned with ethnoracial disparities in adult children's coresidence with their parents. Substantial disparities are found in the prevalence of intergenerational coresidence by race and ethnic origin. Rather surprisingly, Canadian‐born millennials of Chinese, Japanese and Korean descent are found the least likely to coreside with their p…
Employment Probability of Visible Minority Immigrants in Canada by Generational Status, Circa 2016
Using 2016 Census data, we compare the odds of employment (full time or self-employment) for visible minority immigrants in Canada with those of non–visible minority immigrants. Intergenerational comparisons of employment outcomes are made because one would expect second- and third-generation immigrants to be less prone to labour market barriers than first-generation immigrants. Estimates based on a logistic regression of employment probability r…

Human Resource Deficit in Atlantic Canada
Immigration Policy in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States
Immigration policies in most host nations of the west have undergone significant changes in recent years. Based on the four country-specific papers that appear in this section of the journal, and also on our own research, we present an overview of these changes and their context. In all countries, economic considerations play a central role in shaping immigration policy and greater importance is given to scientific research. Several common policy…

Immigrant “Quality” in Canada
This article provides direct evidence about educational attainments of new arrivals in Canada over the period 1956 to 1994. This evidence is based on immigrants’ educational attainment data obtained from two sources: different population censuses from 1961 to 1986, including those from 1961, 1971, 1981 and 1986; and landing documents of immigrants. Data from these two sources allow an analysis of educational attainment trends over a longer period…
Immigrant "Quality" in Canada
The Benefits of Immigrants to Canada
The life-cycle theory implication that immigrants, being young at the time of arrival, should benefit the native-born population in a tax-transfer system is analyzed for Canada. Microdata from the 1981 Canadian Census of Population are used. Consumption of major public services and payment of major taxes by the average immigrant and non-immigrant households are considered. It is observed that even after they have stayed for 35 years in Canada, im…
