Hi,

I really like your topic as I think employment is a common thing for immigrant women to face, especially in Canada where numbers of immigrants are increasing. Your post is very informative which includes statistics of immigrant women in Canada. Besides of that, I would suggest including more intersectionality analysis in your discussion. For example, in your education part, when you are talking about how some women immigrants are lack of education, I wonder can you find information of how class and race are barriers that lead to this conclusion. Additionally, under the Employment Rate part, it seems that there are two sentences that are repeating. “In 2006, the percentage of recent immigrant women aged 25 to 54 who were employed was 56.8%. In contrast, the employment rate for the total immigrant women population in that age group was 70.5…..” I think these two sentences are both saying the employment rate of women in Canada? Perhaps you could clarify that. Otherwise, it is a really good start! Good luck!
