Resume Le present article vise a analyser les cheminements scolaires de jeunes Canadiens issus de l’immigration qui font des etudes superieures. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons le modele de risque proportionnel de Cox. Les resultats obtenus a partir des donnees longitudinales de l’Enquete aupres des jeunes en transition (EJET) montrent que le risque d’acces aux etudes superieures est plus eleve chez les etudiants issus de l’immigration que chez leurs pairs dont les parents sont Canadiens de naissance. La difference varie de 3 a 35 points de pourcentage parmi ceux de premiere generation et de 4 a 13 points de pourcentage parmi ceux de deuxieme generation. Par ailleurs, il existe des differences marquees entre les differents groupes d’etudiants issus de l’immigration, en ce qui concerne l’âge d’entree aux etudes superieures, la perseverance et le type de diplome obtenu a l’âge de 24 ans. Bien que cette difference diminue relativement lorsqu’on tient compte des ressources des parents et des variables associees a l’experience scolaire de l’eleve au secondaire, elle demeure statistiquement significative. Abstract This article aims to compare the educational pathways of young Canadian immigrants to those of their counterparts from non-immigrant families. To this end, we apply the Cox’s proportional hazard risk model. The results obtained from the longitudinal data from the Youth in Transition Survey (YIT) show that, in general, the risk of access to higher education is higher for students with an immigrant background than for their native peers. The variance ranges from 3 to 35 percentage points in first-generation immigrants and from 4 to 12 percentage points in second-generation immigrants. In addition, significant differences within youth with immigrant background were found with regard to the age of higher education entry, their persistence and the type of degree obtained by the age of 24. These differences are relatively reduced when one controls for the parents’ resources, as well as the student’s secondary school experience but remained statistically significant.
