Interesting article, bu tit misses the point that more immigrants lose their jobs because there ARE more immigrants in our society: over half the population of Toronto is foreign-born and that percentage is increasing, and since Canada admits over 260,000 new permanent residents each year, a greater percentage of the labour force is composed by immigrants. It stands to reason that the "older" , more established immigrants are better able to cope with the downturn than recent arrivals. This is hardly a surprising result. This calls into question the mix and number of the immigrant admissions, and how it should be related to the availability of jobs.
