Abstract

Immigrants who come to Canada as economic principal applicants are selected for their potential to contribute to the Canadian economy. This research introduces a Statistics Canada data set, the 2011 National Household Survey and Immigration Landing File, which brings the pre- and post-landing information together. Occupational match rates and benchmarks are calculated for selected regulated occupations that are covered by the Pan-Canadian Framework for the Assessment and Recognition of Foreign Qualifications. Match rates are based on economic principal applicants' intended four-digit National Occupation Code (NOC) occupations as stated on the Immigration Landing File (ILF) and their actual occupation as reported on the National Household Survey (NHS). This research highlights that that there is substantial variation among the five occupational categories that were selected for this study.
