Pathways to Prosperity: Quebec

The Quebec  Node of the Pathways to Prosperity Partnership (P2P) belongs to an alliance that includes all key federal and provincial migration ministries; municipalities; national, regional, and local organizations; and researchers from over fifty universities.  The Partnership operates through five regional nodes and one overarching, pan-Canadian hub. The main activities of the Partnership are knowledge generation through primary and secondary research, and knowledge transfer utilizing a variety of dissemination activities.

We are dedicated to fostering welcoming communities that promote the economic, social and civic integration of migrants and minorities.  We also help communities grow their economies, renew their populace, and reinvigorate their labour markets by welcoming immigrants, international students and temporary foreign workers.  Two areas of special concern for the pan-Canadian project are Northern communities and Francophone minorities outside Quebec.

Our research includes participation in pan-Canadian studies and Quebec-focused studies, with an emphasis on comparative perspectives and best practices.  Our methods combine academic scholarship with local expertise and detailed government program knowledge. This allows us to provide practical, empirically-based advice on policies, programs and agency practices.
