Early earnings trajectories of international students after graduation from postsecondary programs / by Youjin Choi, Feng Hou and Ping Ching Winnie Chan.: CS36-28-0001/2021-2-4E-PDF
"This study compares the earnings of international students with those of domestic students during their first five years after graduation from Canadian postsecondary institutions, and investigates the role of various pre-graduation characteristics in accounting for their earnings differences. This study also examines how the trajectories of earnings gaps vary between international and domestic graduates, across levels of education and major fields of study. Using the analysis of the linkage between the Postsecondary Student Information System and administrative tax data, this study found that international students earned less than domestic students, when they worked in Canada after graduation. An earnings gap also existed by level of education and field of study. A substantially larger earnings gap existed among graduates with a master’s or doctoral degree than among graduates with a lower level of education. A much smaller gap existed between international and domestic graduates in the field of mathematics, computer and information sciences than in other fields. Fewer years of pre-graduation work experience and lower levels of pre-graduation earnings among international students accounted for most of their observed disadvantage in post-graduation earnings"--Abstract, page 1.
