Regression analysis revealed that migrants with more work experience as weIl as those who received financial support from friendslrelatives took significantly longer to find employment after migration. There was no difference in the duration of searches between mi grants who relied on friends/relatives to find jobs and others. The reasons for and the implications of these findings are discussed.
