Abstract: Based on Canadian census microdata, this paper analyzes income inequality between native-born Canadians and immigrants from developing countries as well as discrimination against immigrants in the labor market. Our results clearly show that there is a disparity in income between the native-born and non-Western immigrants and that this disparity results from differences in characteristics between the three groups and unobservable factors, such as discrimination. Deskilling of immigrants is unequally distributed according to their origin. En s’appuyant sur les microdonnées du recensement canadien, cet article analyse les inégalités de revenus entre Canadiens de naissance et immigrants en provenance des pays en développement ainsi que la situation des immigrants sur le marché du travail. Nos résultats montrent clairement qu’il existe une disparité de revenus entre natifs, immigrants occidentaux et non occidentaux, et que cette disparité résulte des caractéristiques qui diffèrent entre ces trois groupes ainsi que de facteurs non observables tels que la discrimination. L’éducation n’a pas le même rendement pour tous les immigrants. La déqualification des immigrants est inégalement distribuée selon leur origine.
