Using data from the Canadian 2006 Census Public Use Micro-data File (PUMF), I compare trades and administrative employment outcomes of immigrant generations of Canadians. Using multivariate logistic regression I ascertain if there is a generational effect among immigrants with respect to employment in the trades and clerical work, taking into account the predominance of males in trades and females in clerical work. Results indicate a generational convergence among males as they are more likely to be employed in trades in later generations. These results do not apply to females in clerical work.
