This review exercise stems from a commitment made in the 2023 Strategic Immigration Review to explore opportunities to simplify and streamline complex immigration pathways.
As part of this exercise, we are consulting key stakeholders with expertise in this area. Given your expertise, we would like to know if you would be interested in joining a ’closed door’ – Chatham House Rules – discussion with select Academics to better understand the current research and evidence on federal high skilled immigrant outcomes in Canada.
The objective of this session is to hear your thoughts on potential ways to enhance the federal high-skilled programs and the ranking system, to better select skilled workers that will contribute to Canada’s long-term prosperity and economic growth, including potential changes to selection factors. We would also like to hear your views on any particular barriers within the system that hinder the selection of top talent and of any innovative approaches or best practices you may be aware of from other countries.
