Canada has an extensive history of immigration. The challenges of managing immigration and the policies implemented to do so are scrutinized and often changed to reflect local, national and international factors.  How have these policies impacted the Canada of today, while laying the groundwork for the Canada of tomorrow? Locally, what do these changes mean for Manitoba?  As Canada becomes increasingly diverse, what do the challenges around immigration mean for policy makers, community organizations, and advocacy groups as we move further into 2015? Ms. Danielle Allard (Ph.D Candidate, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto) discusses her research on recent immigrants and the ways in which they accessed information during the settlement process.

By bringing together government, practitioners, scholars and members of the community, the Manitoba Institute for Policy Research will further debates and discussion on matters of policy development, administration, and analysis both in Manitoba and across the country.

Currently we are working with the Government of Manitoba, the Federal Government, the United Way of Winnipeg, and other voluntary sector agencies on developing and implementing new outreach, training, and research opportunities.
