Temporary foreign workers with lower-skill occupations in the food manufacturing industry : transition to permanent residency and industrial retention after transition / by Jue Zhang, Yuqian Lu, Youjin...: CS36-28-0001/2024-1-4E-PDF
"The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on the roles played by temporary foreign workers (TFWs) with lower-skill occupations in the food manufacturing sector. This study focuses on these workers and examines their transition to permanent residency and their industrial retention after immigration. Comparisons are made with TFWs with higher-skill occupations. Five years after starting to work in the food manufacturing industry, TFWs with lower-skill occupations who arrived in Canada from 2000 to 2004 and from 2010 to 2014 displayed lower rates of transition to permanent residency than their counterparts with higher-skill occupations. However, the opposite was true for TFWs with lower-skill occupations who arrived in Canada from 2005 to 2009. The retention rate of TFWs with lower- and higher-skill occupations in the food manufacturing sector declined over the first five years after landing for all landing cohorts. The degree of retention of TFWs with lower-skill occupations in the food manufacturing industry fell with each successive landing cohort, starting in the mid to late 2000s"--Abstract, page 1.
