abstract: 'Recent research points to a growing gap between immigrant and
native-born outcomes in the Canadian labour market at the same time as
selection processes emphasize recruiting highly educated newcomers.
Drawing on interviews with well-educated men and women who migrated from
countries in sub-Saharan Africa, this paper explores the gendered
processes that produce weak economic integration in Canada.
Three-quarters of research participants experienced downward
occupational mobility, with the majority employed in low-skilled,
low-wage, insecure forms of survival employment. In a gendered labour
market, where common demands for Canadian experience, Canadian
credentials and Canadian accents were uneven across different sectors of
the labour market, women faced particular difficulties finding survival
employment; in the long run, however, womens greater investment in
additional post-secondary education within Canada placed them in a
somewhat better position than men. The policy implications of this study
are fourfold: first, we raise questions about the efficacy of Canadian
immigration policies that prioritize the recruitment of well-educated
immigrants without addressing the multiple barriers that result in
deskillling; second, we question government policies and settlement
practices that undermine more equitable economic integration of
immigrants; third, we address the importance of tackling the everyday
racism that immigrants experience in the Canadian labour market; and
finally, we suggest the need to re-think narrowly defined notions of
economic integration in light of the gendered nature of contemporary
labour markets, and immigrants own definitions of what constitutes
meaningful integration.'
