experience: This increase is partly due to the so-called Canadian Experience Class a centrepiece of the previous Conservative government's economic immigration reforms, which fast-tracks permanent residency for newcomers who already have work experience in Canada, according to CBC.

The median income of people who arrived in Canada in 2014 was 24,000 a year later, the highest on record for landed immigrants since 1981.
