The report highlights a significant shift in economic dynamics, where immigrants are swiftly closing the income gap and even surpassing the earnings of their Canadian counterparts. Between the years 2014 and 2018, immigrants witnessed a remarkable surge in their relative income, soaring from 55% to an impressive 78% when compared to all Canadian tax filers. This exponential growth trend was particularly pronounced among immigrants originating from Asian countries, as well as those possessing higher educational qualifications in professional occupations.
