Citizenship and Social, Cultural and Civic Integration
Oliver Schmidtke, University of Victoria ofs@uvic.ca
Canada's immigration program, like its multicultural approach to inclusion, is designed to bring benefits to Canadian society as well as an offer of a better life to immigrants, refugees, and their immediate families. Accordingly, this policy-research priority looks at the social and cultural effects of immigration and diversity on Canada and seeks to determine the extent to which there are risks to societal well-being, to full participation of the members of these groups as citizens, and to the cohesion of Canadian society overall. In this respect, this research priority addresses integration as a complex interplay of social, cultural and civic components in a two-way street approach to successful and equitable inclusion into the fabric of Canadian society.
