| Descripción: | ABSTRACTThe objective of this paper is to understand the transition between immigrants’ premigration education and their educational trajectories once in Canada, and the return on investment in postmigration education in terms of employment status and earnings. The data come from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada. Using multinomial logistic regressions and fi xed effects regressions, we found that: a third of new immigrants with ostsecondary training pursue their education during their early years in Canada; those who are admitted to Canada because of their high levels of skills, namely the principal applicants in the skilled workers category, are more likely to pursue their education; and those who enrol do not see an immediate benefi t in terms of their earnings. This is further evidence of the lack of foreign credential recognition in Canada, which delays entry into highly paid occupations and delays full participation in the Canadian economy.RÉSUMÉL’objectif de cette étude est de comprendre la transition entre l’éducation pré-migratoire des immigrants et les trajectoires d’éducation au Canada, et les effets de l’investissement en éducation post-migratoire sur l’employabilité et le revenu. Les données proviennent de l’Enquête longitudinale auprès des immigrants du Canada de Statistique Canada. En appliquant des régressions logistiques multinomiales et des régressions à effets fi xes, nous avons constaté que: 1) Un tiers des nouveaux immigrants ayant une formation postsecondaire poursuivre leurs études pendant leurs premières années au Canada, 2) Ceux qui sont admis au Canada en raison de leur haut niveau de compétences, à savoir les demandeurs principaux de la catégorie des travailleurs qualifi és, sont plus susceptibles de poursuivre leurs études, et 3) ceux qui s’inscrivent ne voient pas un bénéfi ce immédiat sur leur revenu et les chances d’être en emploi. Ceci est une preuve supplémentaire de l’absence de reconnaissance des titres de compétences étrangers au Canada, qui retarde l’entrée dans des professions hautement rémunérés et la pleine participation à l’économie canadienne. |
