Pathways to Prosperity: Canada

The Pathways to Prosperity Partnership will hold its fourth annual conference at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa starting at 9:00 AM on December 1, 2016 and finishing at 5:00 PM on December 2, 2016. On November 30 we will be hosting a full-day workshop for the Local Immigration Partnerships and the Réseaux en immigration francophone.

The theme of this year’s conference is Shaping Immigration to Canada: Learning from the Past and a Vision for the Future. This is a timely theme given the revitalized immigration program being developed by the current government in consultation with stakeholders across the country. The Conference will include plenary sessions, workshops, roundtables, poster presentations, and opportunities to network with colleagues. Topics to be covered will include:

• The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: What Works and What Doesn’t in Canada’s Immigration Policy
• Canada’s Role in Refugee Resettlement: A Vision for the Future
• A Vision for Settlement and Service Provision
• A Vision for the Economic Integration of Immigrants
• Creating Welcoming Communities and Combating Racism and Discrimination

The full-day preconference on November 30, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, will focus on issues of central concern to the Local Immigration Partnerships and the Réseaux en immigration francophone, based on a survey of stakeholder priorities.

Conference and preconference details will be updated on a regular basis.
