Statistics Canada study highlights certification gaps for childhood immigrant apprentices
A new study by Statistics Canada reveals persistent trade certification gaps between childhood immigrant apprentices and their Canadian-born peers.
The analysis tracked eight registration cohorts from 2008 to 2015 to observe completion outcomes. Across all monitored cohorts, childhood immigrants represented approximately 4% to 5% of newly registered apprentices.
The research shows that childhood immigrants are consistently less likely to obtain their certifications than Canadian-born apprentices.
These disparities remain noticeable even after accounting for various sociodemographic factors, income levels, and program characteristics.
Additionally, the study found that age at arrival and parental admission categories significantly influence individual success rates within these Canadian training programs.
