A larger proportion of immigrants use family or friends or personal initiative as a means of searching for work than do Canadian-born population. Canadian-born employees are more likely than immigrants to use help- wanted ads or be directly recruited by employers. It is also useful to note that sources of information used varies according to the type of occupation found. While family and friends and personal initiative (walk-ins or cold calls) were the two most important sources of information for all major occupational groups (managers, professionals, technical/trade, marketing/sakes, clerical/administrative, and production), percentages varied greatly between occupations: E.g. 58.8% of immigrant workers working in manufacturing production had found their job through family or friends, only 30.8% of immigrant managers did so. Immigrants who had found their job through Canada Employment Centres were more likely to work in clerical/administrative occupations (4.5%), production (3.5%) or as professionals (3.3%) than as managers (1.3%). www.yorku.ca/tiedi/pubreports.html

Relevant for this series (Figures 2-9): Immigrants are more likely to have found their current jobs through sources of information resulting in lower wages (family and friends, personal initiative), than those providing access to higher wages (union postings, news stories or recruitment agencies). The longer immigrants have been in Canada, the higher their average hourly wages. This is consistent with the “years-since-immigration- effect” which suggests that immigrants “start at a significant disadvantage relative to [Canadian-born] when they enter the country, but then catch up over time” (Alboim, Finnie and Meng, 2005: 2). Relevant for this slide (Figure 2): Family/friends and personal initiative were the two most commonly used sources of information for all immigrants, yet these sources of information also lead to the lowest average hourly wages for immigrants.

Relevant for this slide (Figure 3): Family/friends and personal initiative were the two most commonly used sources of information for all immigrants, yet these sources of information also lead to the lowest average hourly wages for immigrants. Recent immigrants, however, had higher wages when they found their job through the internet or by personal initiative. Not only do those recent immigrants earn higher hourly wages than some of the immigrants who arrived previously, but their hourly wages are similar to Canadian-born.

Relevant for this slide (Figure 5): For immigrant workers, recruitment agencies (along with news stories, union postings) provided access to jobs with higher hourly wages, yet these are sources of information that immigrants do not make great use of.

Both male and female immigrants from the 1980s have wages that are relatively on par with their Canadian-born counterparts, whereas the wage gap between Canadian-born and more recent immigrants is more varied. In some cases the immigrant wage exceeds the Canadian-born wage (more so for immigrant men than for women), for example, when using Canada Employment Centres or news stories. Both male and female recent immigrants experience consistently low wages when friends and family are the source of information for finding one’s current job, whereas Canadian-born men and women do not. Immigrant women generally fare worse than Canadian-born women, Canadian-born men, and immigrant men. For both male and female, Canadian-born and immigrant workers, recruitment agencies and on-campus recruitment provide access to jobs with higher hourly wages. News stories also give access to higher paid jobs for immigrant men and women. The lowest wages for immigrant men are associated with Canada Employment Centres, while the lowest wage for immigrant women is associated with job fairs. www.yorku.ca/tiedi/pubreports.html
