WES conducted a survey-based study to examine predictors of skilled immigrants’ career success. We examined the demographic characteristics of skilled immigrants as well as their experience and education, and studied how these factors affect their labour market outcomes.

We looked at:

• Demographic characteristics, prior education, sector, years of experience, education level, and more
• The extent to which employed respondents are doing work that is broadly commensurate with their previous education and experience

The report also includes the implications of these findings and identifies evidence gaps that require further research.
