Summary:
The scarcity of research on the housing experiences of immigrants and minorities in the outer suburbs prevents a full understanding of (a) why certain immigrant groups are more successful than others in locating appropriate housing in a suitable or comfortable neighbourhood, and (b) the factors that facilitate or prevent this phenomenon in the outer suburbs of our metropolitan areas. This paper will address this gap by evaluating the housing experiences and coping strategies of new immigrants in the outer suburbs of Vancouver (Richmond and Surrey).

Summary:
In earlier work (Oreopoulos, 2009), thousands of resumes were sent in response to online job postings across Toronto to investigate why Canadian immigrants struggle in the labor market. The findings suggested significant discrimination by name ethnicity and city of experience. This follow-up study focuses more on better understanding exactly why this type of discrimination occurs -- that is, whether this discrimination can be attributed to underlying concerns about worker productivity or simply prejudice, and whether the behaviour is likely conscious or not. We examine callback rates from sending resumes to online job postings across multiple occupations in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
