This study undertakes a critical examination of the intersectionality of socio-demographic factors, linguistic proficiency, and educational attainment on the economic integration of immigrants in Canada, grounded in the theoretical framework of critical race theory. Through empirical analysis, this research investigates the mediating role of linguistic and educational factors in shaping the employment outcomes of immigrant populations, providing valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to promote more effective integration strategies and address the disparities between immigrant groups and the native-born population.
