This session brings together CRDCN researchers and colleagues from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to discuss some priority areas within the IRCC mandate that would benefit from further research, such as research related to new Census data and various immigration outcomes. The session, opening with a presentation and panel discussion, will invite all participants to contribute to the discussion about ways that CRDCN, researchers, and IRCC can together address the research needs identified. Chris Hamilton, Director of Research and Knowledge Mobilization will present and lead the discussion.
