Book excerpt: Among immigrants in the top 10 fields of study, those who studied engineering, computer and information sciences and support services, and engineering technologies/technicians had higher-than-average participation and employment 3 rates, while immigrants in the fields of education and liberal arts and sciences, general studies and humanities had relatively lower participation and employment rates. [...] Immigrants who studied engineering had the highest participation and employment rates (88.6% and 81.7%, respectively) and the lowest unemployment rate among all the immigrants in all fields of study from Pakistan (7.9%). [...] Of all PSE immigrants who had worked during 2005 and 2006, those who held degrees in biological and biomedical sciences had the highest proportion working in skilled occupations (O, A and B) (77.8%), followed by those in physical sciences (76.5%), engineering (75.5%), psychology (74%), construction trades (73.1%) and computer and information sciences and support services (72.1%). [...] For example, the proportion of very recent immigrants with degrees in the leading field "computer and information sciences and support services" working in skilled occupations was nearly 10 percentage points lower than that for recent immigrants in the same field of study. [...] Compared to 70.9% for those with a Canadian degree, the percentages in skilled occupations of those who had studied in the United States, the United Kingdom and France were substantially higher, while immigrants with Chinese, Indian and Pakistan degrees had much lower shares working in skilled occupations.
