This paper examines the labor market integration of skilled Pakistani migrant women in Australia by drawing on qualitative data. It explores how the intersections of human, social and cultural capital hinder their labor market participation. It further investigates the redevelopment of these capitals to secure professional employment. We argue that the job-seeking experiences of these women are complex due to their mismatched human, social and cultural capital, resulting in intersectional disadvantages in the Australian labor market. It is concluded that skilled migration programs must be accompanied by labor market integration policies that acknowledge the difficulties faced by skilled migrant women
