According to industry statistics, data organization, the largest in the Canadian city of Toronto immigration, new immigrants, the unemployment rate as high as 19.7%, far higher than the national average. Experts point out that if the government does not improve this situation, the attraction of immigrants in Toronto may be gradually reduced.
Background: The national employment situation has improved
Following the October unemployment rate fell below 8% for the first time in two years after the Canadian unemployment rate in November fell further. According to the Federal Bureau of Statistics data released earlier this month, in November a net increase of 15,200 people in employment, the unemployment rate of 7.9% in the past month to 7.6%, the lowest since January 2009 level.
While November's unemployment rate fell, largely due to a decrease of job, but the data itself can still cause for optimism. No one can deny, either, or and the year before last year compared to the employment situation has now greatly improved.
Compared with September last year, total employment in Canada increased by 318,000, an increase of 1.9%; of which were part-time employment increased by 127,000, an increase of 4% were full-time employment increased by 192,000, an increase of 1.4 percentage points.
The largest city in Canada in Toronto, and now the employment situation is also significantly higher than when the recession has just begun to improve. In the most severe recession when the unemployment rate has soared to Toronto, nearly 10%, but now Toronto's unemployment rate was 6.7%, 9.2% than the beginning of this year has dropped significantly.
New immigrants, the unemployment rate still high
Despite the country's employment situation has been greatly improved, but the new immigrant groups is still difficult to find a job, but most concentrated in the Toronto immigration, the problem is especially serious. According to industry data released in Toronto, 19.7% of the new immigrants are unemployed, those who are born nearly three times the unemployment rate, but also 13% higher than a year ago.
Just landed in a recession for Canada's new immigrants, their employment more difficult. Funded projects many immigrants and refugees of civil institutions Maytree Foundation's president, said Ratna Omidvar, just log in this part of the new immigrants find work will be subjected to blows, and dragged on longer, after the more difficult jobs. This will impact on them are many, including the heavy psychological pressure.
However, from a historical perspective, the economic downturn in the employment of new immigrants than in native-born persons and older immigrants are more vulnerable to shocks, but also recovered more slowly.
Even to find a job, new immigrants often are not satisfied with the work. After a survey of local English-language media and found employment there are a number of new immigrants "characteristics." These include: the actual qualifications required for the high than 42% of the immigrants in the lower qualifications than their work;, low wages, to take the ratio of the minimum wage 1.8 times higher than the local people; to participate in the proportion of temporary and volunteer work high; low, and so protected by the union.
Experts point out that the Toronto job market becoming more and more need to rely on the strength of immigration, high unemployment, so the new immigrants, the city's employment and the economy will bring a "flawed." If the Government does not improve this situation, the attraction of immigrants in Toronto will also be gradually reduced, thus creating a vicious cycle. In fact, this scene is already happening: in 2009, new immigrants registered, 32.8% choose to live in Toronto, 49.9% in 2001 dropped significantly.
Should be concerned about employment and training information
It is reported that since the second half this year, the employment of immigrants wide media attention. October released a survey the industry, new immigrants and local people on the unemployment rate has a huge gap, and the higher the education level of migrants, the harder it is to obtain work. Generally speaking, new immigrants in Canada is difficult to find the original professional work, had to turn to other jobs more industries, such as trade and services.
New immigrants looking for work the main difficulty, in addition to bad language, lack of interpersonal networks, the government does not recognize the professional qualifications before the big factor also. Even get the Canadian experience, the new immigrants the opportunity to get a new job is still less than the local people. The report said that local employers are generally the most emphasis on the work of the staff of the Canadian experience, but research shows the same access to education and work experience for Canadian job seekers, the use of Anglo name was given the opportunity to interview higher than others four.
Local relevant agencies have been urging the Government to give new immigrants a number of related training, to give them some ability to find work locally. In their efforts, the federal government allocated 230 million in funding, earmarked for the project integration of immigrants in Toronto. The fund was launched in May this year, and play its role.
Meanwhile, many provincial governments, and civil organizations have made to help new immigrants qualifications and work experience of local projects, which are able to help new immigrants in Canada, so the industry re-operation. To solve the employment problems of new immigrants, also need to own this information and more to find. |
