3. Immigrants with continuous full-time employment in the first four years of settlement in Canada had higher average hourly wages than immigrants who were employed part-time at any time in the first four years.
Average hourly wages did not increase for immigrants who moved between full-time and part-time work and vice versa during the first four years in Canada. Change in hours of work is associated with a wage penalty.
Adapted from TIEDI Analytical Report #25, Table 4 using data from the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC).

4. Average hourly wages and average annual family income increased over time for those with continuous full-time, employment and for those with continuous part-time employment in the first four years in Canada.
The percentage of immigrants with full-time employment is much higher than the percentage of immigrants with part-time jobs in each wave. The width of the arrows roughly indicates the percentage of immigrants taking each career path.
Adapted from TIEDI Analytical Report #25, Table 5 using data from the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC).

5. (note: Job satisfaction scale: 1=very dissatisfied, 2= dissatisfied, 3= satisfied, 4= very satisfied)
Immigrants who were employed full-time were more likely to have jobs that matched their field of study and training, and higher levels of job satisfaction compared to those who were employed part-time in the first four years in Canada
However, differences in job satisfaction for full-time and par-time workers are smaller than expected. .

6. Compared to immigrants working full-time, part-time workers were more likely to enroll in post-migration education during the first four years of settlement in Canada.
This is probably because those working part-time have more time on their hands to pursue education. Part-time workers may work part-time to accommodate education.
