Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to examine how economic integration mechanisms for immigrants in Canada might systematically devalue immigrant labor, transform their self-esteem, and as a result inhibit their integration into the host society. The higher rates of poverty and unemployment that skilled immigrants experience compared to their Canadian counterparts are identified as a social pathology which can be investigated through an application of recognition theory. The main conclusion of the chapter is that the contradictory situation of highly skilled immigrants in the Canadian economic system emanates from the fact that immigrants are subject to a different recognition order than their Canadian counterparts. Double standards are so invisible that they usually go unnoticed and strengthen the dependence of immigrants on their ethnic groups.
