In studying the censuses from 1991 to 2006, the 2006 Census in particular, we found that French-speaking immigrants are more educated than other immigrants, based on the number of university degrees. In addition, the main field of study or training will have a very high impact on ability to find work.
For example, Africans represent approximately 30% of the immigration population outside Quebec. Unfortunately, we observe that Africans are at a particular disadvantage in terms of the unemployment rate. In fact, they are more disadvantaged than less educated immigrants, as they may also have more specific training in fields in greater demand, for example.
That said, the unemployment rate is slightly higher among francophone immigrants, despite the fact that they are better educated.
