This book examines the relationship between immigrant-composition and wages of different occupations and different industries in Canada. It reports the effects of change in proportion of immigrants in a job on the wage level for both male and female Canadians and immigrants. First, all immigrants are considered homogeneous, and thereafter, they are distinguished according to a wide array of criterion (e.g. non-white immigrants, immigration after age 39, immigration after 1990) and a full spectrum of results are presented. These results suggest that for immigrants, the aggregate relationship of income with immigrant composition is fairly small, unless they are sub-categorised into specific groups (e.g. non-white immigrants, immigration after 1990). The corresponding wage penalties for Canadians are more uniform across the different subgroup specifications and decomposition of the data.
