Who invited them to the party? Federal-municipal relations in immigrant settlement policy / Federal policies on immigrant settlement / From government to multilevel governance of immigrant settlement in Ontario's city-regions / Quebec immigrant settlement policy and municipalities : fine-tuning a provincial template / Multilevel governance and immigration policy in Nova Scotia / Immigrant settlement policy in British Columbia / Conclusion / Erin Tolley -- Caroline Andrew with Rachida Abdourhamane Hima -- Daiva Stasiulis, Christine Hughes, and Zainab Amery -- Guy Chiasson and Junichiro Koji -- Rodney Haddow -- Serena Kataoka and Warren Magnusson -- Robert Young.
"Drawing on a great many in-depth interviews with government officials and front-line workers, contributors provide a comparative assessment of approaches to immigrant settlement in nineteen Canadian municipalities. This is complemented by a discussion of the federal government's role in this policy field, and by a comprehensive introduction and conclusion, which ground the book historically and thematically, synthesize its key findings, and provide recommendations for addressing the challenges related to intergovernmental cooperation, settlement service delivery, and overall immigrant outcomes. Individual chapters examine the mechanics of public policy-making but also tell a story about diverse and innovative approaches to immigrant settlement in Canada's towns and cities, about gaps and problems in the system, and about the ways in which governments and communities are working together to facilitate integration."--Pub. desc.
