Mr. Chair, I just have a few comments.
I think you're asking about refugees in particular. We do see good results with refugees over a period of a number of years. In 2016, for example, refugees accounted for 3% of the labour force, while immigrants made up about 24%, but considering they're coming with many needs when they arrive, we think those numbers are good.
The labour market participation rate of refugees is just around 79%, which is consistent with the Canadian-born population.
Just to give you some facts on earnings, while the entry earnings of refugees are the lowest of all the immigrant categories—in particular in terms of government-assisted refugees, the average earnings for refugees are just around $20,000—that is in the early years of arrival. Then 10 years after landing, the share of refugees who report employment income on par with the Canadian average is just about 65%.
Those years in Canada when they become integrated and learn language skills is when you start to see those numbers really tick up.
