AB - This study which is a research on immigrants policy of a particular country has the purpose of investigating immigrants’ social rights appearing in employment insurance in Canada. This study examines how regional differentiation affects immigrants entitlements, focusing on aspect of eligibility, duration of benefit and benefit amounts. To summarize the results as follows. First, regional differentiation rule in employment insurance in Canada began to appear in the early 1970s. But this time, the institutional reflection of the regional differentiation rule had been very limited. However, in 1977 the unemployment insurance amendment and through the enactment of the Employment Insurance Act 1996, regional differentiation rule were reflected in three aspects of entitlement and this trend was further strengthened in 2013. Due to such regional differentiation rule in the employment insurance system, immigrants' social rights are disadvantageous compared to that of native-born workers. Immigrants average working time required for eligibility is relatively more many. In all probability, immigrants duration of benefit would be relatively short. This seems due to the nature of the major residential regions of the immigrants, but essentially regional differentiation rule is its primordial cause. On the other hand, we believe that immigrants are no disadvantages in benefit amounts due to regional differentiation rule. However, because of wage differences, immigrants benefit amounts level would be relatively low. In conclusion, with regard to employment insurance in Canada, a immigration state and multicultural state, immigrants' social rights can be seen weak compared to Canadian-born workers.
