The contribution of immigration to the Canadian economy and society has been of continued importance in recent decades, due to being the main driver of population growth and their importance on the labour market. Given that Canada and other countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are competing for skilled workers, measuring the socio-economic integration of immigrants into Canada is essential. Immigrants with postsecondary educational qualifications can help fill the labour demand in Canada, especially if their qualifications are readily recognized by the labour market. In this context, exploring the labour market outcomes and Canadian postsecondary educational attainment of immigrants is critical to understanding the various facets of their socio-economic integration. Since the late 1990s, federal and provincial governments have shifted immigration policies toward immigrants with postsecondary qualifications, as part of the "economic" category of immigrants. Despite this shift, the potential difficulty of qualified landed immigrants to transfer their educational qualification to the Canadian labour market continues to exist and may represent a barrier to accessing the labour market for some, and thus impact the supply of skilled workers. This study explores in detail the educational attainment from Canadian public institutions and employment income of immigrants from the "economic immigrant" programs who were granted permanent residency based on their ability to contribute to the Canadian economy. The analysis compares the skilled immigrants who returned to postsecondary education after admission to Canada to those who did not return to postsecondary education and explores their potential difficulty to transfer their educational qualifications onto the Canadian labour market. The analysis uses the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) integrated with the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) and the T1 Family File (T1FF) through the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP).
