Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has displayed a change of attitude on migration, one radically opposite to that of his predecessor Harper, by establishing a policy of greater openness for the reception of immigrants and which constitutes the pillar of his political agenda. Consequently, the immigration system has improved in order to admit a greater number of immigrants, temporary workers and students; it has also established necessary measures to reduce processing times, as well as to improve family reunification, among other initiatives. Mexicans have played a preponderant role as temporary agricultural workers and, in absolute terms, they have gradually increased their participation as immigrants, temporary workers and students in recent years. This paper aims at describing the effects that Trudeau's immigration policy has had migrant population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study tracks four waves of Canadian immigrants and estimates the cohort effect on the probability of renter immigrants buying their first home, cohort being defined directly by immigrants' age and year of arrival and indirectly by their permanent and expected earnings. It uses twenty cross-sectional data files that span two-and-a-half decades (1974-1998) to build four synthetic cohorts of immigrants. It treats the synthetic cohorts as if longitudinal, by viewing each record as a doubly censored observation, and estimates a proportional hazard model of first-time homeownership. The results show that homeownership rates are declining with successive cohorts of immigrants due to waning income prospects. Both permanent and expected incomes among more recent cohorts of immigrants lag behind those of earlier cohorts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the gender differences in university education attainment among the children of Canadian immigrants, observing the extent to which parental human capital and social capital in the family and immigrant community may be more important and/or different for men and women. This allows us to examine the degree to which structural and cultural factors used to explain racial differences in academic achievement are also viable explanations along gender lines. Distinct patterns of upward mobility or possibilities for blocked mobility are segmented not only by race and ethnicity but also along gender lines. This study finds the importance of parental human capital whereby maternal education matters more for girls while father's education was more prominent for son's education. Family structure and feelings of exclusion during childhood have a more important role for women while identification with an ethnic ancestry for men is crucial for their pursuit of higher education.
