Number of newcomers overqualified for their jobs three times more than local Canadians
Statistics Canada conducted a survey on the “over qualification” of newcomers at workplaces. The survey found out that the number of newcomers who are overqualified for the jobs they are hired for is three times more than local Canadians. Statistics Canada pointed out that in the past few decades, the situation has not improved in Canada. The survey found out that newcomers who possess high qualifications in professions such as law, sociology, visual and performing arts, and communications technology are seriously hit by tough accreditation of their foreign credentials in Canada, but newcomers with high credentials in professions such in mathematics, science and computer science, rarely encounter the “over qualification” problem.
