19th National Metropolis Conference “Looking Forward: Migration and Mobility in 2017 and beyond”

A main objective of the National Immigration Conference is to facilitate dialogue and exchange between researchers, government, and non government (community and private) sector partners. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to include participants from each of the three sectors in your workshop proposal. You can include participants from various regions of Canada to provide a comparative or national perspective on the issues being discussed in your workshop. Other country comparisons with Canada are also welcome. Workshop proposals on themes related to immigration and diversity in Canadian society are welcome and possible suggestions include: selection (demography challenges, policies, and programs), settlement and access to services, governance, identities and integration.

As of September 1, 2016 proposal submissions are being accepted on the conference website www.metropolisconference.ca and for any other further inquiries please contact sarah.kooi@acs-aec.ca
