The purpose of this study was to examine the worklife adjustment and career development experiences of new immigrant workers to Canada. In focusing on the participants' subjective views, the study intended to provide an understanding of the lived experiences and their related factors that contribute to this unique life-career transition. Using a qualitative methodology, in-depth interviews were conducted and a combined narrative and grounded theory approach to data analysis was employed. Central themes within the narratives emerged and key findings were generated. The participants' experiences were fraught with adversity and barriers to career goal achievement. Narratives highlighted themes of action and resilience with the majority of workers employing coping strategies to promote their career development. Human agency, vocational identity, career resilience and compromise were identified as being core aspects of immigrant worklife adjustment and career development. Findings have implications for career counselling, cross-cultural, immigrant and vocational psychology literature and practice.
