Other Items of Interest
Metropolis
CIC continued to support the work of Metropolis,77 an international network for comparative research and public policy development on migration, diversity and immigrant integration in cities in Canada and around the world. The Metropolis Project organized successful, large-scale national and international conferences and delivered highly focused, policy-relevant seminars and learning events that brought together policy makers, academics and non-governmental sector participants. These efforts expanded CIC’s understanding of issues related to migration and diversity.
Research Activities
CIC’s research activities provide senior management with the necessary evidence-based analysis to support policy and program development. In addition to building an immigration levels forecasting model and related tools, maintaining the longitudinal immigrant tax-filer database (IMDB) and the Immigration-Contribution Accountability Measurement System (called iCAMS), and supporting ad hoc data requests, the Department also undertook research projects on labour market responsiveness and economic indicators, social integration, sponsorship, language acquisition, and literacy. Multiculturalism research focused on visible and religious minorities, religious diversity, population projections for 2031, and analysis of trends in public opinion. Data development work is centred on the redesign of the IMDB, augmentation of the data portal and the development of new data sets to support program monitoring. Further, various knowledge transfer activities were undertaken, based on in-house and external research, to support evidence-based policy development and capacity development.
Gender-based Analysis
CIC continued to implement gender-based analysis (GBA) throughout the Department. A new departmental GBA policy was developed, which was informed by the review of CIC’s strategic framework for GBA (2005–2010). GBA was incorporated in files from policy development to evaluation, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program, settlement programming, the refugee reform process and the evaluation of the Government-assisted Refugee and Resettlement Assistance programs. Gender, as it relates to migration and diversity, was also a theme of the Metropolis Project’s work, including working papers, research reports, conferences and seminars. For more information on the Department’s GBA activities, please refer to the Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration.78
