Canada, alongside the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, is competing in the race for global talent. How can we evaluate what our governments are doing to promote immigrant integration, both at home and internationally? Enter the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX): 38 countries, 144 policy indicators, 8 years of research, and your very own scorecard. MIPEX 2015 informs and engages key policy actors, experts and practitioners about how and where immigration and integration policies at the national level come together to accelerate the path to inclusion or where they fail to meet that bar for success.
Which country comes to the top? Which country is falling behind? Canada performs well with some of the strongest policies in place, but how will it remain a leader as more countries compete to attract and retain immigrants? What is the impact of Canada’s changing policies around citizenship?
Join us online on June 16 to learn more about MIPEX 2015 results and discuss how can we all benefit from the development and use of common indicators in the international immigration debate. More information.
