As part of a response to the challenges that confront Canadian policy research, a joint task force assembled by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Statistics Canada proposed the creation of a series of Research Data Centres (RDCs). The network of RDCs was formally launched in December 2000 with the opening of the centre at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. The RDCs are located throughout the country, so researchers are not obliged to travel to Ottawa to access Statistics Canada data. At the same time, the centres are administered in accordance with all the confidentiality rules required under the Statistics Act. The Research Data Centres meet, in a single location, both the need to facilitate access to detailed micro‐data for crucial social research and the need to protect the confidentiality and security of Canadians' information.

Résumé Pour relever en partie les défis lancés à la recherche canadienne sur les politiques publiques, un groupe de travail mixte réuni par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines ( crsh ) et Statistique Canada a proposé la création d'un réseau de Centres de données de recherche ( cdr ), qui est né officiellement en décembre 2000 avec l'ouverture du cdr de l'université McMaster, à Hamilton (Ontario). Les cdr se répartissant dans tout le pays, les chercheurs n'ont plus besoin d'aller à Ottawa pour consulter les fichiers de Statistique Canada. L'administration des cdr se conforme néanmoins à toutes les règles de confidentialité établies par la loi canadienne sur la statistique. Les cdr répondent, sur un même site, à une double nécessité : ils facilitent l'accès à des microdonnées détaillées indispensables pour mener certaines recherches essentielles en sciences sociales, tout en garantissant la sécurité et la confidentialité des informations fournies par les Canadiens.

Quelles répercussions les événements qui se sont produits au World Trade Center de New York le 11 septembre 2001 ont-ils eues sur l'établissement en emploi des nouveaux immigrants au Canada ? Alors qu'on se serait attendu à une incidence différenciée selon l'origine ethnique, défavorable aux personnes d'origine arabe à cause de la stigmatisation de ce groupe par l'opinion publique, l'analyse ne révèle pas de tels effets. On se retrouve plutôt face à un ralentissement du marché de l'emploi à son resserrement pour les immigrants les plus jeunes et les plus vieux, ralentissement qui se présente de façon différente au Québec et dans le reste du Canada. Cette analyse est possible car la première vague d'entrevues de l'Enquête longitudinale auprès des immigrants du Canada (ELIC) de Statistique Canada était en cours en septembre 2001 (n = 12 040). Les analyses sont réalisées à l'aide de régressions de survie semi-paramétriques.

Given the declining returns to pre-migration labour market experience, human capital portability is explored for new immigrants focusing on pre- and post-immigration occupational matching, and its interactions with education and language. New immigrants who match occupations obtain an earnings premium, but surprisingly, on average, even they obtain no return to their pre-migration labour market experience. Only males with substantial English proficiency who also match occupations receive any return to such experience. Moreover, occupational matching and English skills are also seen to interact with education in an unexpected way. For both sexes, only those with a match and/or strong English proficiency obtain a positive return to their schooling. The commonly observed low rate of return to education for new immigrants appears to be a combination of zero for some and a large return for others. Of the varieties of human capital studied, only English language skills are universally rewarded.
