For the past 70 years, immigration to Canada has
continued growing[1];
however, the composition of this trend changed during the 1960s;
the number of immigrants from Europe and the United States
decreased while the presence of immigrants from other source
areas started growing to the point that they were the
majority of the foreign born population in 2001.[2]
The increasing demographic presence of 'visible minorities'
and foreign trained professionals demands equal access to
employment opportunities, which let them play their occupational
roles according to their qualifications and work experience, so
they can contribute to the development of this country and enjoy
the benefits of it.
Therefore, our objective is to provide an interdisciplinary
and collaborative site, where the analysis and discussion about
discrimination against highly skilled immigrants in the Canadian
job market can articulate effective proposals to eliminate systemic racism.
[3]
Canadaimmigrants.com seeks to develop and maintain
collaborative relationships with immigrants, researchers, policy
makers, and all the people involved or interested in employment
and immigration in Canada. |

Immigrants who had landed since 2001 (or very recent immigrants,
those who landed in Canada 5 or less years prior to 2006) had
the most difficulty in the labour market in 2006, followed by
those who landed between 1996 and 2001.

Editorial
August, 2008
The worst blind is the blind who does not want to
see
Once again the reality and the
data confirm the existence of systemic racism[3].
through a new StatCan's report, commented by one of their
analysts Jason Gilmore -quoted in the Ottawa Citizen last July
18- which refers to the born Canadians, graduates, even with
studies at universities in the United States have almost
guaranteed employment, a fact contrary happens to immigrants,
even those who have studied in Canada, who still have a low
employment rate.

To all immigrants and potential immigrants:
Never forget that we have chosen Canada to have a better life.
Ergo, do not underestimate the value of your qualifications. Ask
for the 'right' job. By sacrificing our present, we are also
sacrificing our children's present, and consequently... their
future.
