This paper focuses on the integration of Syrian refugees into the Canadian labour market in light of their pre-migratory socio-economic conditions. Most of the Syrians who recently arrived in Canada did not migrate for professional reasons. Many of them had successful careers in Syria yet they were mainly seeking safety for themselves and their families when they sought resettlement. Despite their migration not being intended for economic reasons, they had to start a new professional life. The paper analyzes whether Syrian newcomers were able to find jobs easily and whether these jobs were related to their professional fields prior to migration. Using longitudinal survey data with 1924 resettled refugees from the Syria.lth project, this paper analyzes how social class and pre-migration professional skills had an impact on the integration to the Canadian job market and their satisfaction level. While some consider that their job is enough to make their end meet, the data shows that many are not satisfied with their current job. Also, most of them had jobs that are not related to their professional fields prior to migration. When analyzing it by age, the older ones had more difficulties to integrate the job market.
