The Conference Board’s National Immigration Centre is hosting the two‐day event to explore the
future of Canada’s immigration system. This event will draw stakeholders from across Canada’s
immigration system to share the latest research findings, unique insights and perspectives, and
contribute to the development of a National Immigration Action Plan for Canada. The Summit is an opportunity for participants to share their views and insights, and take part in
interactive discussions and consultation sessions to identify challenges and innovative solutions. These insights will be captured and used in the development of a National Immigration Action Plan
for Canada that embodies a shared vision for the future, specific goals and recommended actions for
stakeholders to undertake in building an internationally competitive national immigration system for
Canada.
The Summit will focus on the seven following themes:
1.
The Immigration Imperative – what Canada and Canadian companies gain – and stand to gain ‐
from immigration, economically, socially and culturally.
2.
Global Best Practices in Immigration, from Invitation to Integration – international experts
will share their insights on global best practices in immigration and integration.
3.
Leveraging Immigration as a Source of Innovation – highlighting the contributions
immigrations make through innovation, research, culture and international trade, and
identifying how Canadian businesses can harness their talents to improve results.
4.
Building an Immigration System Responsive to the Needs of Business – strategies and
programs to enhance Canada’s immigration system to better meet their needs, today and
tomorrow, and make the most of the talents of immigrants.
5.
Streamlining Immigration for Skilled Trades People – identifying how the immigration of
skilled trades people can be streamlined to help overcome the significant labour shortages
employers are experiencing in Western Canada.
6.
Consultation on Enhancing Canada’s Immigration System – leaders from government,
business, education, immigrant‐serving agencies, regulatory bodies, professional associations
and other experts will have an opportunity to contribute to a discussion on an enhanced
immigration system.
