"Wage differentials between native- and foreign-born workers are empirically well described in Canada and other countries of immigration. Analysis of the 2001 Canadian census, for instance, has revealed that recent arrivals earned roughly 30 per cent less than their native-born counterparts(Frenette and Morissette 2003). In the United States, the foreign-born disadvantage is more pronounced: immigrants who arrived during the 1990s earned about 58 per cent of the indigenous
population (Camarota 2001). A substantial earnings disadvantage also has been documented for several European countries, including Sweden (Grand and Szulkin 2002; Bevelander 1999), Australia (Reitz 1998), Denmark, and Germany (Buchel and Frick 2005)."
