Abstract

This paper presents a longitudinal analysis of the unemployment experience of immigrants to Canada (principal applicants) for the 1977-1981 period. The analysis is based on longitudinal labour force (unemployment insurance) data and operational data relating to the immigration process overseas. The results indicate that immigrants have a structurally similar distribution of post-entry unemployment experience with the exception of those immigrants with an arranged job who tend to have lower expected unemployment duration. (SUMMARY IN FRE) (EXCERPT)
