Quebec stands as one of the best provinces in Canada when it comes to an immigrant holding 05 years after arrival.
The immigrant rate of unemployment dropped from approximately 13% in 2009 to under 7% in 2018, with the province’s rate of employment for immigrants greater than Ontario in the previous year.
The study depends on the data from the Quebec government and Statistics Canada.
