IMMIGRANTS’ INCOME ATTAINMENT IN CANADA: IMPACT OF LOCATION OF RESIDENCE AND VISIBLE MINORITY STATUS
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Most of the earlier researches on immigration have examined the socioeconomic attainment of immigrants in relation to the native born population. Limited attention has been given in examining the impact of immigrants’ location of residence and visible minority status on their income attainment. In this study, I examined the variations in immigrants’ income attainment based on their location of residence and visible minority status using data from the 2001 census of Canada. Using multivariate regression analysis I find that immigrants living in non-CMAs have higher income than their counterparts living in CMAs. I also notice that visible minority immigrants have consistently lower income than non-visible minority immigrants both in CMAs and non-CMAs. Policy implications are discussed.
