Key Takeaway
Immigrants' levels of active engagement in the labour market and participation in Canadian society have been increasing steadily.

This Statistics Canada research investigates patterns of immigrant engagement in the Canadian labour market over the past few decades, focusing on their tax-filing behaviours and employment incidence.

Accurately gauging emigration rates is complex. Still, this study highlights a notable trend: an upward trajectory in immigrants’ active participation in Canadian society. Consistent increases in tax-filing rates and employment incidence across various arrival cohorts suggest that rising numbers of immigrants are integrating into and contributing to Canada’s economic landscape.

The findings underscore the significant role of immigrants in shaping Canada’s socio-economic fabric and emphasize the significance of their sustained engagement for the nation’s prosperity and growth.
