As we approach the end of the year in which we are celebrating Canada\u2019s 150th birthday, it is apt that we\u00a0reflect on current Canadian innovation in immigration research, policy, and practice, and look ahead to how we may continue to demonstrate our leadership in this area. Thus, the theme of this year\u2019s conference is Canada\u2019s Place in the World: Innovation in Immigration Research, Policy, and Practice<\/strong>. The conference will include plenary sessions, workshops, roundtables, poster presentations, a special keynote speaker, a theatrical production, and opportunities to network with colleagues.\n\nOn Wednesday November 15, 2017, we will be hosting two full-day preconferences: A preconference for the Local Immigration Partnerships and the R\u00e9seaux en immigration francophone<\/strong>; and a preconference on Developing Immigrants\u2019 Literacy and Essential Skills.<\/strong>\n\nOn the evening of Thursday November 16, we are pleased to be presenting the theatrical production \u2014 We Are Not the Others<\/strong> \u2014 a play created by Dr. Mirna Carranza and Izad Etemadi, based on the findings of a two-year research project examining immigrant women\u2019s experiences. The play was first presented at the Hamilton Fringe Festival in July 2017.\n\nOn Friday November 17, join us as we kick off the second day of the conference with a special keynote address by the Honourable Lloyd Axworthy<\/strong>, chair of the World Refugee Council and former Minister of Immigration.\n\nMore than 350 participants are expected to attend the conference. Attendees will include researchers, service providers, LIP and RIF representatives, graduate students, policy and program officials from the three orders of government, and others working in the area of immigration.\n\nConference agenda is available here\n\nClick here to view the members of the P2P 2017 National Conference Planning Committee.\n\n \n\n

The Preconference brings together the RIFs and LIPs to discuss common challenges, share achievements, and learn from each other. It will include roundtables, discussions, and speed-networking, as well a few presentations.\n\nThe Workshop Planning Committee (see list) includes members from the LIPs and RIFs across the country and from other relevant organizations.\n\nPreconference agenda is available here\n\n \n\n

Preconference Workshop on Developing Immigrants\u2019 Literacy and Essential Skills<\/span><\/h4>\n\nThe Preconference on Developing Immigrants\u2019 Literacy and Essential Skills focuses on the results of a research project that aimed to assess the effects of improved levels of literacy and essential skills on the socio-economic integration of francophone immigrants, with a particular focus on workplace performance. The research project followed francophone immigrants (both those enrolled in educational programs and those not enrolled) to compare their outcomes. The results inform a cost-benefit analysis that assesses the return on investment of training in literacy and essential skills, which will be presented at the preconference. This preconference is organized by Actions Interculturelles and Pathways to Prosperity Partnership.\n\nPreconference agenda is available here\n\n \n\n
