Immigrant wages have been increased in recent years
On December 6, 2021, Statistics Canada published a new study regarding immigrants’ income trajectories during the initial years since coming to Canada. The study compares the wages of immigrants admitted in 2017 and 2018 and finds out that immigrants who came to Canada in 2018 had a 4.2% higher wage ($31,900) in 2019 than those admitted in 2017 ($30,600). Despite that, their average wage was still 17.8% lower than the average wage of the total Canadian population ($38,800) in 2019.
