Ather H. Akbari & Imamuddin Khoso

 In 2006: ◦ there were 6.2 million immigrants living in Canada out of which 2.5 million had come from Asia and the Middle East – the highest number among all regions. ◦ there were 719,280 immigrants from South Asia, next to those from East Asia who were 874,365.  Among South Asian countries, India and Pakistan are the top two source countries of immigrants in Canada.

 During , India and Pakistan were, respectively, the second and fourth largest source countries of immigrants in Canada.  The 2001 census showed that among Indian immigrants, there were 51.5 % Sikhs, 26 % Hindus, 7.2 % Protestants and 7 % Muslims. These religious groups have been living together in India for centuries. Among Pakistani immigrants, there were 84 % Muslims, 9 % Christians, 4 % Hindus and Sikhs and 3 % others.

 Like other South Asians, immigrants from India and Pakistan share common ethnic customs, traditions, heritage and language. They also share common family values (EDS).  In general, the educational systems in the two countries are similar, inherited from their common colonial past.  Their geographical distance from Canada is also about the same.  Based on the above, one would expect immigrants from the two countries to face similar challenges in the labour market and to have similar labour market qualities and outcomes.

 To analyze the labour market performances of Indian and Pakistani immigrants in Canada.

 Labour market indicators: ◦ Earnings ◦ Employment status ◦ Unemployment duration ◦ Employment credential mismatch  Housing market indicators: ◦ Home ownership rates

 Immigrants from South Asia generally have poorer labor market performance than non- immigrants. This is largely because their labor market characteristics are discounted.  Performance varies within the South Asian group.  It is important to disentangle the effect of ethnicity from the effect of religion on labour market performance.
