The Waterloo Region conducts a study of immigrants, refugees, international students, temporary workers, and their families every two years to obtain knowledge about their transition into Canada. According to the Waterloo Region Immigrant Survey Summary Report, most new residents in the region are more highly educated than the average person in Waterloo. Only 51% of respondents, on the other hand, said they worked in an industry that required similar skills or experience. Despite some respondents reporting challenges finding employment and affordable housing, the overwhelming majority reported being quite satisfied with their lives in the Region.
