Immigration selection factors and the earnings of economic principal applicants / by Garnett Picot, Feng Hou, Li Xu and Aneta Bonikowska.: CS36-28-0001/2022-6-1E-PDF

"This article summarizes a new report that updates empirical analysis intended to support the development of selection criteria for economic immigrants in Canada. The full report, Which immigration selection factors best predict the earnings of economic principal applicants?, was prepared by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and Statistics Canada. A similar, earlier report served as the technical guide for the development of the current Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) used to select applicants under the Express Entry immigration management system. Significant policy developments and improved macroeconomic conditions during the 2010s raise the question of whether empirical results based on earlier cohorts of immigrants are still fully relevant. This follow-up study re-evaluates the role of several factors in predicting the earnings of economic immigrants. The earlier report was based on the earnings experience of economic principal applicants who landed from 1997 to 2004; the follow-up report is based on those who landed from 2005 to 2015, and their earnings from 2006 to 2017"--Page 1.
