In Canada, newcomers are often faced with many challenges when integrating into the labour market. This study examined the labour market integration experiences of newcomers in Regina, Saskatchewan. Data were collected using a structured survey which was made available in several languages. A total of 305 (n = 305) newcomers participated in this study. It was found that length of stay in Regina, level of education, having children and lack of access to transportation had a strong relationship with newcomers' labour market integration (p < 0.01). Specific barriers that were found to affect newcomers included language, access to a vehicle, lack of Canadian work experience and Canadian credentials. These challenges have substantial implications for the well-being of newcomers and their contribution to the Canadian economy. It is recommended that resettlement agencies develop informed strategies and programmes that target these barriers to enhance the economic integration of newcomers in smaller cities in Canada.

加拿大新移民的劳动力市场融入：较小城市中心新移民的观点

在加拿大，新移民在融入劳动力市场时往往面临诸多挑战。这项研究调查了萨斯喀彻温省里贾纳新移民的劳动力市场融入经历。数据是通过结构化调查收集的，该调查以多种语言提供。共有 305 名 ( n  = 305) 新人参与了这项研究。结果发现，在里贾纳停留的时间长短、教育水平、有孩子和缺乏交通便利与新移民的劳动力市场融入程度密切相关（p < 0.01）。影响新移民的具体障碍包括语言、获得车辆、缺乏加拿大工作经验和加拿大证书。这些挑战对新移民的福祉及其对加拿大经济的贡献具有重大影响。建议安置机构针对这些障碍制定明智的战略和计划，以加强加拿大小城市新移民的经济融入。
