Educated and experienced immigrant women are finding it hard to get hired in the Canadian labour market. This is an issue that women have faced and continue to face. According to the recent survey of immigrant women living in the Great Toronto Area (GTA), 83.8 percent of participants had to alter their appearance or credentials to fit in better with other Canadians, downgrading experience and education, changing names, clothes, and accents. Highly-educated immigrant women who came to Canada had high points in the Canadian immigration point system, which became apparent that is not enough in the hiring process.
