The Development and Dynamics of Immigration Policy in Canada

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

This panel examines the historical development and contemporary dynamics of immigration policy in Canada. In what senses is Canada's approach to immigration unique? Does Canada have a single, cohesive immigration policy, or does it struggle with competing frames and subnational variation? How does Canada navigate its close relationship and shared border with the United States?
