Skilled Immigrants in Canada Often Overqualified, Affecting Workers and Employers
Canada recruits highly skilled immigrants, but about one-third report being overqualified for their jobs, compared to 19% of Canadian-born workers. This mismatch stems from undervaluation of foreign credentials and preference for Canadian experience. Overqualification affects immigrants' well-being and job satisfaction, while also posing challenges for employers. Researchers suggest that addressing this issue can improve retention by recognizing immigrants' skills and offering greater autonomy in the workplace.
