Immigration, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Global economies are undergoing significant changes driven by demographic shifts, development trends, and technological advances. Many argue that innovation will be key to the continued prosperity of the world’s developed economies and that immigration will be a significant factor in maintaining their capacity for innovation. This panel will assess how immigration enhances Canada’s ability to innovate for economic benefit and Canada’s ability to attract and support entrepreneurial and innovative immigrants. What are the best conditions under which to attract entrepreneurs and innovators to Canada? Are there models elsewhere that Canadian policy makers should consider? How do we assess the contributions of immigrant innovators and entrepreneurs to the Canadian and, indeed, the global economy? Immigration, innovation et entrepreneuriat Les économies mondiales subissent divers bouleversements sociaux et démographiques qui peuvent affecter leur croissance ou contribuer à des réorientations économiques majeures. Dans un climat d’instabilité, beaucoup d’experts soutiennent que l’innovation sera la clé de la prospérité des économies développées, et que l’immigration sera un facteur critique dans le maintien de cette capacité d’innovation. Cette séance permettra d’évaluer l’apport de l’immigration à la capacité d’innovation canadienne, et le capital d’attraction exercé par le Canada en matière d’innovation et d’entreprenariat. Reconnaissant la forte compétition internationale dans l’attraction d’immigrants entrepreneurs ou hautement qualifiés, quelles sont les conditions optimales qui favorisent l’innovation et l’entreprenariat chez les nouveaux arrivants ? Existe-t-il un modèle sur lequel fonder une politique qui facilite la migration d’entrepreneurs ou qui encourage l’entreprenariat chez les nouveaux arrivants déjà installés au Canada ? Finalement, comment évaluer et faire valoir la contribution des innovateurs et entrepreneurs immigrants à l’économie canadienne, voire mondiale ?

Inter-Sectoral Co-operation on Health Inequities As the populations of Canada’s cities grow through immigration, with some approximating 50% foreign born, public health agencies are having to adjust their policy thinking, their service delivery methods, and their understandings of public health itself. This plenary session will examine the administration of public health in cities with large immigrant and visible minority populations. In particular, presenters will consider inter-sectoral co-operation in the administration of public health, asking how local, provincial, and national authorities can work together most effectively to deal with health inequities amongst the immigrant, ethnic, and Canadian- born groups in Canada. The speakers will illustrate their views through specific examples including chronic disease and will incorporate current thinking on the social determinants of health in their analysis of trends in health status inequities amongst groups. Canadian speakers will be joined on the panel by those from The Netherlands and the United States in the search for best practices on co-ordinating services across jurisdictions. Coopération intersectorielle sur les inégalités en matière de santé À mesure que la population des villes canadiennes s’accroit grâce à l’immigration – jusqu’à 50% de personnes nées à l’étranger dans certains grands centres urbains - les agences de santé publique sont appelées à ajuster leurs politiques, leurs méthodes de prestation de service et leur compréhension des enjeux de santé publique au Canada. Reconnaissant la diversité des acteurs et des problématiques liées à la santé publique, cette séance sera consacrée à la coopération intersectorielle dans la gestion de la santé publique, au rôle des autorités locales, provinciales et nationales, ainsi qu’aux formes de collaboration les plus pertinentes pour s’attaquer aux inégalités qui persistent pour certains groupes vulnérables en matière de santé. Les présentateurs se serviront d’exemples précis tirés de leurs expériences pour réfléchir aux déterminants sociaux de la santé et aux tendances relatives à l’inégalité, tout évoquant certaines pratiques exemplaires mises en œuvre ailleurs dans le monde, notamment aux États-Unis et aux Pays-Bas.

Diversity, Super-diversity and Belonging Over the last 60 years, high immigration levels have greatly increased the diversity of Canadian society especially in our largest cities where a condition sometimes called “super-diversity” now exists. Super- diversity connotes a diversification of diversity in a city where the number of countries of origin has come to far exceed historical patterns, where migrants have a diversity of legal statuses, a diversity of connections to their homelands and transnational communities, and a greater diversity of ways of living in and relating to their host society. In this plenary session, speakers will explore the implications of this emerging super-diversity,and attempt to determine what triggers belonging and societal participation among new-Canadians within this complex context. In discussing Canadian diversity and the multiple contexts in which it is manifest – from major urban areas where the immigrant population now represent a majority to rural and smaller municipalities who also have to take growing diversity into account – this session will explore different policy approaches to integration, including multiculturalism and interculturalism, and identify innovative ways to promote attachment and belonging to Canada.

Diversité, superdiversité et appartenance Au cours des 60 dernières années, différentes vagues successives d’immigration ont conduit la société canadienne à se diversifier. Face aux changements importants dans les pays sources d’immigration, certains experts affirment que le Canada est passé d’un paradigme de diversité à une situation de superdiversité. En mettant au jour le système de connexions et de relations très complexe mis en place par les immigrants pour intégrer la société d’accueil tout en maintenant le lien avec la société d’attache, cette session vise à discuter des déterminants de l’appartenance identitaire et des multiples contextes dans lesquels la diversité se manifeste – des régions métropolitaines où les minorités visibles sont désormais majoritaires aux petites municipalités et aux milieux ruraux, qui doivent également composer avec une diversité croissante. La séance permettra de questionner différentes approches en matière d’intégration, comme le multiculturalisme et l’interculturalisme, et d’identifier des pistes d’action novatrices pour favoriser l’émergence d’un sentiment d’appartenance chez les nouveaux arrivants.

Community Resilience The resilience of individuals and communities to major changes, to natural disasters, and to man-made disasters including terrorist attacks, is under-studied and under-appreciated by researchers and policy officials both. This session will attempt to break new ground in considering supports to enhance individual and community resilience as complements to enforcement-focussed approaches to national security and terrorism and institutional approaches to emergency preparedness and relief. Although resilience is a concept that can be applied throughout society, this session will give special attention to ethnic, racial, and religious minority community resilience.

Résilience communautaire La résilience des personnes et des communautés face aux bouleversements majeurs, comme les catastrophes naturelles et les désastres provoqués par l’activité humaine, incluant les attentats terroristes, est un objet de recherche relativement peu étudié dans l’espace canadien. Mettant en lumière le potentiel de résilience des communautés, particulièrement dans les efforts de reconstruction post-catastrophe, dans la prévention de l’extrémisme violent ou dans tout autre contexte de planification des mesures d’urgence, cette session permettra d’identifier certains déterminants de la résilience, en cherchant à comprendre comment articuler la résilience des communautés aux stratégies d’exécution de la loi en matière de protection civile, de sécurité publique, de terrorisme ou de gestion des mesures d’urgences. Bien que le concept de résilience puisse être appliqué à l’ensemble de la société, la présente séance portera une attention particulière à la résilience des communautés formées des minorités ethniques, raciales et religieuses.

Refugee Integration – From Protection to Long-term Success In the coming years, we can expect Canada to maintain its welcoming and humanitarian attitude towards the world’s refugees. Increasingly, we are receiving refugees, such as those from protracted refugee situations, with higher psychosocial, health, and other needs that require targeted and specialized services. Although integration outcomes for most refugees improve over time, for many others challenges persist in securing adequate income, employment and affordable housing. Further, education and social integration outcomes are a cause for concern for some refugee youth. How can Canada best fulfill its humanitarian commitment to provide protection to refugees while ensuring positive outcomes for their long-term quality of life in Canada? Combining research findings with examples of successful practice, this panel will explore how to provide refugees with services that will foster a good life in Canada. Speakers will look at the respective roles of government, service-providers, and community organizations in achieving desired outcomes.

Intégration des réfugiés : de la protection au succès à long terme Le Canada s’est longtemps positionné en chef de file en matière d’accueil et d’intégration des réfugiés, et rien n’indique un inversement de cette tendance dans les années à venir. En accueillant un nombre croissant de réfugiés en provenance de zones de conflits extrêmement difficiles aux plans sanitaire et sécuritaire, le Canada doit considérer les besoins spécifiques des réfugiés en fournissant des services ciblés. Même si les résultats en matière d’intégration pour la majorité des réfugiés s’améliorent au fil du temps, nombre d’entre eux doivent encore relever des défis en ce qui a trait à l’obtention d’un revenu adéquat, d’un emploi et d’un logement abordable. Dans le même ordre d’idée, l’intégration et la réussite scolaire des jeunes réfugiés demeurent source de préoccupation. Partant de ce constat, comment le Canada peut-il satisfaire de façon optimale à son engagement humanitaire envers les réfugiés tout en garantissant une bonne qualité de vie à long terme au Canada ? En combinant résultats de recherche et exemples de pratiques exemplaires en matière d’intégration des réfugiés, cette séance examinera les rôles respectifs du gouvernement, des fournisseurs de service et des organisations communautaires, en soulignant les progrès accomplis, les lacunes qui persistent et les domaines d’action prioritaires.

Temporary Residents in a Society Built upon Permanent Immigration In recent years, temporary migration to Canada has grown in size and scope and encompasses many different types of migrants. This panel will focus on two specific categories of temporary residents – temporary foreign workers and international students. Speakers will respond to the growing interest in temporary residency and analyze its role within Canada`s suite of immigration policies and programs and the Canadian labour market. Among the many points of discussion are the respective roles of government, the private sector, and the education sector in selecting temporary residents, some of whom will change their status to that of permanent residency. Speakers will look at the role of the private sector in temporary labour migration, along with how the responsible use of temporary labour migration can be managed to benefit both businesses and the migrants themselves. Finally, speakers will address how existing or alternative pathways to permanent resident status could enhance the successful settlement of temporary residents.

Migrations temporaires dans une société bâtie sur l’immigration permanente Tendance lourde dans l’espace canadien comme dans la plupart des économies développées, les migrations temporaires ont constamment augmenté au cours des dernières années. En se concentrant sur les deux groupes d’immigrants temporaires les plus nombreux, soit les étudiants et les travailleurs temporaires, cette séance vise à explorer les raisons qui expliquent l’ intérêt marqué pour la migration temporaire, et les effets que cette migration entraîne dans l’élaboration des politiques publiques, sur le marché du travail et sur l’économie plus généralement. Entre autre, il s’agira de discuter du rôle croissant des entreprises et des employeurs canadiens dans le processus de sélection des travailleurs étrangers, et des bénéfices qui peuvent découler d’une gestion saine de la main d’œuvre étrangère. Finalement, les présentateurs se pencheront également sur les chemins qui mènent à l’établissement permanent, en faisant la revue des instruments de politiques destinés aux travailleurs migrants.
