Usability of foreign qualifications and skills on the Canadian labour market

Canada is one of the most popular countries for immigration in the world and has comprehensive experiences with regard to the assessment and recognition of foreign qualifications and skills. The project which provides the context for this article is attempting to use quantitative analyses and company case studies to identify the approaches and methods used by employers to evaluate and recognise foreign qualifications. This article focuses on quantitative analyses of the Canadian PIAAC data and uses regression models to investigate how foreign qualifications and occupational experience are evaluated and rewarded on the Canadian labour market. Factors influencing individual income of employees are subjected to differentiated analysis.
