Study: Labour market outcomes of immigrant women who arrive as dependants of economic immigrant principal applicants
The points-based selection of immigrants has implications for the characteristics of immigrant couples who are admitted to Canada and for the subsequent labour market outcomes of immigrant families. For example, immigrant women who arrived as accompanying spouses of economic immigrant principal applicants were better educated, and more likely to know English or French, be employed after landing, and have higher earnings than women who arrived as family-class immigrants.
