This article examines the wage gap in Canada, particularly in the province of Quebec, between native-born workers and immigrant workers, and specifically economic immigrants, the so-called skilled worker category. It sets out to explain this ever-increasing wage gap. We note an evolution in the proportion of immigrants over the last two decades, but also an increasing deterioration of their economic situation, compared to that of native-born workers. After examining the statistical portrait of immigrant participation in the labour market, we highlight the impact of discrimination in explaining the wage gap between immigrant workers and native-born workers, without forgetting the other causes of this gap. The level of education of economic immigrants, which is acknowledged to be higher than that of the general population, does not explain the lower economic performance on the labour market. This work therefore reveals the factors that explain the wage gap between immigrant and native-born workers. It also shows that the notion of immigrants is a heterogeneous block within which certain groups experience particular realities, notably visible minorities and women.
