Abstract: The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between self-employment and socio-economic integration of immigrants in Canada. Using the micro-census data from 1991 and 2006, our results show that self-employment reduces income inequality ; however, its effect on income distribution is not uniform over time. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser les relations existant entre exercice d’une activité indépendante et intégration socio-économique des immigrants au Canada. Établis à partir des microdonnées des recensements de 1991 et 2006, nos résultats montrent que le travail indépendant réduit les inégalités de revenu, mais que son effet sur la distribution du revenu n’est pas uniforme au cours du temps.
