Identifying the field of study–occupation match for internationally educated immigrants requires information on location of study, which was not available in previous censuses.
However, incompatible classifications of fields of study and occupations across censuses require a substantial amount of time, and this is beyond the scope of this study.6 Hence, we look at the cross-cohort differences in Table 4 by the distribution of immigrant workers in terms of occupation match and the years since their migration to Canada.
This allowed us to approximate the annual cost of underutilization of immigrants' human capital by estimating the change in immigrant earnings that would result if they were distributed identically to the native born in terms of relatedness (field of study–occupation match).
However, this is not possible with census data.14 Hence, in this paper, this issue is examined by the distribution of immigrant workers in terms of their field of study–occupation match and the years since their migration to Canada (Table 3).
This approach allows us to approximate the annual cost of underutilizing the human capital of immigrants by estimating the change in immigrant earnings that would occur if they were distributed identically to the native born in terms of relatedness (field of study–occupation match) in Canada.
