According to the 2011 National Household Survey, the unemployment rate of immigrants that have landed in the last five years sits at 15.5 per cent, while the unemployment rate of Canadian-born citizens is 6.4 per cent. Immigrants from different countries also experience unemployment, with immigrants from places such as Africa being especially high. Seeing as English language speaking countries do not experience the high unemployment rates, it’s obvious that the reason for these rates is the difference in language and culture. Discrimination may also play a factor, though that’s up for debate.
