“…Finally, racial minorities (even those who were born in Canada) continue to face earnings disparities in Canada (Pendakur and Pendakur, ) and the statistical analysis adjusts for this impact, using the visible minority classification established by the federal government (Boyd, ). Given the miniscule historical migration from Mexico to Canada, Mexicans are not explicitly considered apart from the Latin American group.…”

“…Detailed data on major fields of study have been collected since 1986 for all respondents, and starting in 2006, respondents were also asked to name the place where they attained their highest degree. Canada's historically rooted linguistic dualism (English and French) also means that respondents are asked about their mother tongues, their conversational abilities in English and/or French, languages used at home and at work (Boyd, ).…”

The recruitment of skilled workers with expertise in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is a core component of North American immigration policies. However, few studies examine the labour market integration of immigrant STEM educated workers. Multivariate analysis of the 2011 National Household Survey show that STEM educated immigrants who arrive as adults are less likely than the Canadian born to have STEM jobs and they earn less than their Canadian born counterparts. These patterns partly reflect their socio‐demographic characteristics, particularly their lower language proficiencies (measured as a combination of mother tongue and languages spoken at home) and the receipt of their degrees in institutions outside of Canada. These immigrant workers arrived primarily in the skilled worker programme that did not require pre‐arranged employment. Policy changes in recruitment and their implications for future STEM immigrant workers are discussed in the conclusion.
