The upcoming summit organized by the Conference Board of Canada will discuss how to make Canada’s immigration system more innovative, resilient, and responsive to complex challenges and unique opportunities. The virtual event, Canadian Immigration Summit 2022: Driving Innovation, Resilience, and Responsiveness, is being held from May 24-26, 2022 and is now open for registration.
While the immigration system is facing new pressures, including application backlogs compounded by COVID-19 and challenges related to attracting and retaining immigrants in small and rural communities, opportunities have also emerged. There is renewed interest and commitment among stakeholders to recognize the contributions that temporary migrants and international students make to Canada and to address the vulnerabilities they face.
The summit will offer opportunities to:
- learn about and share innovative solutions to the challenges facing Canada’s immigration system
- workshop strategies to build resilience against future shocks and to respond to the evolving needs of immigration system stakeholders
- hear the latest qualitative and quantitative insights on immigration to drive data- and evidence-based decision-making, and
- discuss how to sustain and accelerate the positive economic, demographic, social, and cultural impacts of immigration.
