This paper reports on a workshop that took place on January 5, 2009, hosted by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The workshop focused on the realignment in federal-provincial responsibilities for settlement that took place in the 1990s. The goal of the workshop was to extract lessons from the previous two decades of experience and to suggest how these lessons might inform future directions.

This report describes the results of a telephone survey conducted in 2012 of recent immigrants to Alberta concerning their experiences with settlement services in the province, their information needs, and their economic and social integration outcomes. The goal was to provide an evidence-base to guide decisions about the scope and character of future settlement services in Alberta.

Highlights

• Immigrants constitute a higher share of residents with a university degree, as compared to their share within other educational cohorts.
• Following the pattern of the Canadian born, immigrants with a higher level of educational attainment are more likely to be employed.
• Notwithstanding this improvement, the employment gap rises for immigrants with higher education levels because, as education rises, the employment rate of the Canadian born rises faster than that of immigrants … a pattern that is more pronounced among females than males.
