Question 1

While numerous factors influence the settlement process, there is evidence that immigration policies don't have an impact on newcomers' employment success in Canada.

Accepted Answer

Immigration policies can have an impact on newcomers' employment success in Canada, such as the points system used to select skilled immigrants and policies that address recognition of foreign credentials and work experience. However, other factors such as language proficiency, previous work experience, and job search strategies are also important in determining employment success.

Question 2

In general, researchers find that immigrants chosen for their skills earn more money, but their participation in the labour market varies little among immigration categories.

However, the overall participation in the labour market is relatively similar across all immigrant categories.

Question 9

When children join their mothers in Canada, they had frequently been separated for long periods of time, which can strengthen their family bonds.

Domestic workers and caregivers are usually women of colour from the Global South, and their long history with certain types of employment has positioned them in specific vocational roles, as well as exposed them to racial prejudice in Canada.
