Statistics Canada: Canada Data

Applied Sciences Dept: Immigrants who arrive before adulthood have easier access to the job market than those who arrive as adults, says the report from the Montreal-based Institute for Research on Public Policy released Monday, according to CBC. It found that people who came to Canada as adults were more likely than their younger peers to have postgraduate degrees master's degrees or doctorates and in most cases their degrees were in the applied sciences and the age at which people immigrate to Canada has a significant effect on their success at finding work and on job quality even when they obtain a Canadian degree, according to a new study. Using 2005 Statistics Canada data, the study divided immigrants into two groups: those who arrived in Canada before age 18 and those who arrived at age 18 or older. As reported in the news.
