Question
A student is doing his undergrad thesis on the topic of "difference in return to education between immigrants and native born Canadians" and was searching for the data on SLID and LFS for the wages of the immigrants with respect to levels of education from their native countries…
I have contacted Statistics Canada and they told me to contact you for the access to the data.”
According to the LFS questionnaire, there is the question: “In what country did . . . complete his/her highest degree, certificate or diploma?”. However, this variable does not appear to be available in the PUMF. Am I missing something or is it indeed not available? Although chances are he won’t have the time/money for a custom tab, it would still be good to know if that would be a possible route.
Or if anyone has a suggestion for another data source.
Answer
I have consulted with the subject matter division responsible and they confirmed that the immigrant variables are not available on the PUMF. However, we have 4 tables on CANSIM that the user could use.
