Abstract

Temporary residents constitute an important supply of labour for the Canadian economy. However, some of them do not work in a given year, even when holding a valid work permit (Lu & Hou, 2023a, 2023b). Of those who are employed, some work part time or part year because of program restrictions, permit length or other reasons. As a result, a simple headcount of employed temporary residents overestimates their impact on the labour force and their contribution to the Canadian economy.
